Hi all
Two weeks ago I got a problem. My kTorrent 3.2.2 on new torrents of one of my used trackers gave me error "Invalid data from tracker", with all checked torrents (if new torrent don't checked - it loaded perfectly, and commonly all old torrents loaded correctly). By azureus this "bad" torrents goes well, and torrents from other trackers goes without any errors. Errors are on two desktops with Slackware 13.
Is this problem of announcer of this tracker, or bug in this kTorrent release?
Thanks for answers and sorry for my English :)

Looks like the webserver is redirecting the request and we are not handling that properly. Will fix it later today.

Actually the redirection was only unsupported when not using KIO to do the announces, this is now fixed.

However initially it also didn't work when using KIO, this turned out to be caused by the tracker sending incomplete data. Suddenly when the number of peers changed on the tracker, it starting working, and the data the tracker sent was OK. So this looks like a tracker bug sending truncated data in some cases.

Is it means, that in new release, 3.2.4, this bug fixed? Or it is in svn?

The fix is not in any release yet, only in SVN.
