Feature Request: Upload torrent

[Lunik]

edit by @jpillora: not all websites support programmatic downloads, so cloud torrent should support manual uploads

When I put the torrent URL into the search bar and click on "Start Torrent", the app return an alert.

The .torrent links comme from Cpasbien.pw

I think its just an invalid torrent, for example http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent works

[Lunik]

You are right,
But what I don't understand is that those torrent work fine with a classical uTorrent desktop app.

[jpillora]

I'm using https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent underneath and I guess @anacrolix is strictly parsing torrent files. Ping @anacrolix - Hey Matt, are you open to making your torrent parser more lenient?

[anacrolix]

Can you provide a sample .torrent?

I don't think the problem is with the torrent library. That site seems to dislike programmatic retrieval of torrent files. I suspect there's a HTTP error involved between cloud-torrent and cpasbien.pw.

$ godo github.com/anacrolix/torrent/cmd/torrent ../cv-facile-cvitae.torrent --listen-addr=:50008

2015/10/04 00:16:01 main.go:136: downloaded ALL the torrents

Downloads fine, took about ~10s. ~2.8MB torrent.
$ md5sum SetupCVitae.exe

Thanks for the explanation.
So is there an other way to use this .torrent ?? I haven't seen a button to upload .torrent file...

[jpillora]

Yeah true, sorry for the false alarm @anacrolix. Yep so it's just a problem with that site. Downloading from the browser seems to work, though doing a programmatic download doesn't:

$ curl -I http://www.cpasbien.pw/telechargement/cv-facile-cvitae.torrent
HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable

@Lunik Upload torrent is not yet implemented, though I'll modify this issue to be a feature request.

[Lunik]

Thanks for your quick answers.
And nice work @jpillora !!

Hi,
I've noticed that private torrents don't work too! When I loaded a torrent from bakabt.me, it kept loading but the download didn't start, on the other hand, I managed to download the same torrent on filestream.me.

here's the torrent I used: https://bakabt.me/download/180332/1453999514/dd8249760304a541d8c8a85cc62a3d11/1867873/military-480p-horriblesubs.torrent

P.S. Thank you for your awesome script.
