Invalid torrent file specified error kickasstorrents (torcache)

[sleeuwen]

Every time sonarr tries to download a torrent file I get a warning saying

Couldn't add report to download queue. [NAME]: Invalid torrent file specified

I think this is due to the fact torcache.net returns an html page where you need to wait 5s before you can download the torrent file.

Some guys from the couchpotato project solved this here

Basically torcache.net checks the Referer header and if it is https://torcache.net/ it will return the torrent file.

Exception:

+1 I am also having this issue with Kickass Torrents!

[Taloth]

We know guys, no need to 'me too'.

We're first trying to contact torcache to see if we can agree on a real solution instead of ugly spoofing.

[minthat]

How are things going? Have they made a commitment to changing things up?

As of now it would be a great thing to implement the hack as the CouchPotato guys did waiting for TorCache's answer.

If anything, include it in the next dev update! 👯
