    Default Why seedboxes can't connect to some trackers?

    I used a seedbox sometime ago but couldn't connect to some trackers at all. In the "tracker status" of rutorrent said "Could not parse bencoded data". Do they use a different protocol that some seedboxes don't? Could i connect through proxy server?
    Any suggestions and advice would be quite useful guys, thank you !!!

    Not sure on that error, but I've found downloading the torrent, then adding the file to the tracker that way instead of via URL, solves most issues.

    Forgot to mention...is there a way to connect (with a seedbox) to a tracker that doesn't support rutorrent, but only some other torrent clients?

    Such a tracker exists? I've never seen a tracker that blacklisted rutorrent, what it may be is that they forgot to whitelist it, drop a message to a FLS or a staff at the tracker and try asking if rutorrent is really blocked.

    Such error has something to do with corrupted .torrent file, not with the tracker. Re-download it again then load in rutorrent. Sometimes, torrents created in uTorrent are not compatible with rutorrent. Try loading it in you uTorrent client first and if it works there then that file is okay. Otherwise, it needs to be fixed with third-party software such as uTorrent's BEncode.

    utorrent loads the torrent files normally...so it must be something else.Could you enlighten me a bit more about the BEncode software?

    Have you tried restarting the server or restarting utorrent? It's a simple solution, I know, but it's how I've fixed a couple weird issues with mine in the past.

    I've never received that error, but on my seedbox I have difficulty connecting to public trackers, mainly Demonoid. I tried for hours trying different ways to fix it with no luck. I kept receiving a Tracker Status: [Couldn't Connect to Server] whenever I tried to download or upload with Demonoid torrents. I eventually just gave up trying to get it to work and use my home connection for seeding to that tracker. It was something about Demonoid's tracker that just didn't want to play nice with my box since all private trackers work wonderfully.
