Private Tracker - Unsupported/inactive torrent requested about bt

[atomashpolskiy]

Sure, let's do it

HTTPS trackers are indeed not supported. It should not prevent the torrent session from starting though, as there may be other sources of peers (DHT in case of bt-cli).
Is the MSE negotiation error happening for all peers? Is it reproducible if you start another instance of bt-cli?
Also try disabling encryption and see whether the error goes away.

In fact everything except the tracker is disabled for private torrents. Where does the incoming connection come from then? I wonder if there are back-up trackers in the torrent file?

Thanks for the quick response.
I can download public trackers, but in case the private tracker with HTTPS protocol does not. Because it is a private tracker, DHT is probably not going to help. (I'm not a torrent expert)

But I downloaded the project, and changed protocol key on this class

public class HttpTrackerModule implements Module {

    @Override
    public void configure(Binder binder) {
        ServiceModule.contributeTrackerFactory(binder).addBinding("https").to(HttpTrackerFactory.class);
    }
}

After that I was able to download my private tracker. I ask, is this solution valid?

I really liked the project and the asynchronous footprint, Congratulations and thank you.

Probably not. In this case the torrents only have the private tracker. Other torrent clients show just this url tracker.

If changing the binding worked for you, then it's probably valid, at least in some cases :) make sure to keep the old binding as well so that plain http continues to work
Thanks for feedback, I really appreciate it!

[otaviodecampos]

Of course. Thanks. What do you think if I open a pull request in future to register the key https for HttpTrackerModule?

@otaviodecampos , hi! wanted to check with you if you'd still like to make a PR, as I'm going to make a release soon and would like to include this fix
