Syndication plugin download issue

Wed Jul 29, 2009 12:34 am
Hi all,

love the program but im having a problem with the syndication plugin. I can add rss feeds to it without any problem and view all the items for each feed.

However, for one of my feeds when i try to download an item from it i get the error message:

"Could not find a valid link to a torrent on /path to torrent on internet/"

Has anyone got an idea of how i can get around this issue?

Many thanks
George

Are you sure that the feed you're using links directly to the .torrent file and not to some description page, which then contains a link to the .torrent?

I'm not registered in that site, but a common fix for this problem, which might work, but doesn't have to, would be adding "?feed=dl" (or "&feed=dl", if there are already variables feeded through GET, like, for example, passkey=*) without quotation marks.

When i look at the rssdd.xml page in firefox i can see that the links for each item point to a .torrent file

I have tried as well with a ?feed=dl option included but with no luck yet

Open it with firefox, and try to click a link. I get a 404 file not found for every torrent.
