Actually, I was wrong on that. It looks like all the torrent files are truncated at 99 bytes\characters.

    Re: I get 'Invalid Torrent' when I try to start download

    I still get invalid torrent file on any one I try to download. I've sent a message to staff, but no response yet. Are there people out there having no problems - has anyone been able to download an AM.org torrent the last few days? Is it just a handful of people having a problem, or is it universal?

    I'm pretty sure this is universal for almost everyone. I know the torrents I've UPd are accurate and setup right. I have looked at other shows ive downloaded recently and it appears most of them come up with the error message now. I sent the 7/20 show torrent to Staff as stated in their FAQ but have not heard back from them yet. Though on the shows Ive up lately (7/20 & 7/22) it appears there have been a lucky very few that have been able to get it and Seed.

    Last two days, I haven't been able to download any Ant's Torrents and having trouble with a few other torrent sites as well. Ares P2P just sits searching, and Bitlord torrent downloader, says " Unable to read torrent"

    Glad it's not my system, and that other people are having the problem too. Hope it gets fixed soon. I've got to hear Dave's version of Sail Away and Sledgehammer SOON!!!

    Same here with the bad torrent messages. I'm a true newbie but glad to see I'm not the only one having difficulty.

    Is it possible it is a ISP related problem? I use Insight Cable and I heard they were changing some things. Although, if that were the case, i imagine I couldn't download any torrents from any site, not just AM.org.

    For all of you that need a work around for the invalid torrents you can check out the rss feed. i have d/led a couple of torrents there and all seems to be working.

    I can't download a 2006 August 2nd torrent. I get the "Invalid Torrent" error when trying to download it in utorrent or limewire.

    I've never used an RSS feed for torrents before. I put the URL into uTorrent and "updated" but nothing is listed. Any hints?
    TIA

    I have the same difficulty - I worked on that for 3 hours last night and nothing "updates" . I followed, and re-followed the instructions given on this site, tried the 2008 feed, tried to make a 2000 feed, tried to make even 1 "D&T1993" feed exactly like the example used in the instructions. I'm sure I'm just leaving out some obvious-to-a-kid step. What's the trick?

    Now, how exactly did you download from that^. Isn't that the rss feed thing? I couldn't figure out what to do. I have utorrent, and, until recently had no problems using it on AM.org. I've tried to set up the rss feed, but it doesn't seem to work.

    Thats exactly what I am seeing. It seems to be all torrents I download from the forums. However, the torrents in the RSS feed appear to be ok.

    I submitted my stuff the other day. I just wanted to point out that while I don't think I've downloaded any torrents from here, I'm not a new user and I have more than a few posts...

    Re: I get 'Invalid Torrent' when I try to start download

    I have been getting the invalid torrent message for the following:
    dmb2008-07-07.dpa4023.mp2.744t.flac16.torrent
    dmb2008-07-12.dpa4023.v3.744t.flac16.torrent.
    and pretty much every other torrent I try.

    This is a recent problem. I've downloaded dozens of shows over the last year with the most recent being about 2 weeks ago.

    I have Windows xp, firefox 2, and tried updating utorrent with no change in outcome. I have also tried Internet Explorer and again get an invalid torrent message.

    I tried to download both SPAC shows from this year on Moxilla on Windows XP through UTorrent. It said invalid file. I have downloaded from AM before and have many posts. I'll keep trying later.

    How exactly do you download from the rss feed there? I tried opening the file, and a downloading box comes up, but just keeps working on it for a long time. Where is it downloading to? I've tried to set up the rss on utorrent, but cant get it to work. Do you have to copy shortcut, and paste on the rss thing on utorrent?

    It seems the links are not fully populating...

    I was trying for a long time to download the 6-20-08 show and i kept getting the small 1k file... it was with this link though... then i saw shroometoons post above and edited his link with the 6-20-08 attachmentid # and it worked fine...

    so the link went from....

    http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/at...1&d=1214149857

    to ....

    http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/to...duobfcbhdixyil


    you can see the difference... if you need to get a torrent copy the second link i posted and just change up the attachmentid=#### to the ### of the file you are trying to download...

    Again, I don't use the ants tracker and so I'm not sure how they have it set up, but that is how it can be in lots of cases.

    have not been here for awhile. didnt do nothing to my bittorrent. went to download what i have missed and got it all. works fine, dont know what the problem was, or if maybe it was from the upgrades here, but all is well, if you get this error message, just wait a few days seems like it fixes itself as matt and joe states.
