Post subject:  Torrents Filtered From RSS Feeds Failing to Start Automatically or Manually?
qBittorrent 4.3.3
Windows 10

Auto-downloading of the RSS feeds on MMA-Torrents worked flawlessly for a long time, but lately they won't auto-download. The feeds load and filter fine, but I can't even start the download manually by double-clicking on the torrent from within the filtered torrents. When I try to manually download a torrent from the RSS feed, I receive the following error:

Failed to load from URL https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php
Error: unexpected end of file in bencoded string.

I tried using Tixati to troubleshoot the issue and RSS feeds didn't download automatically there, either. Just wondering if anyone else is running into this same issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

We changed nothing on our side so it is probably something on the other side.

Will look into it though.

It works perfectly when I try.

Are you using the format mentioned here?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9654

Code:
https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php:COOKIE:uid=xxxxx;pass=xxxxx


With both your mma-torrents.com tracker cookie uid and pass values.

To find your mma torrents tracker cookie uid and pass values in Firefox, right-click anywhere on mma-torrents.com and choose "Inspect Element".

Image

In the new window that opens by the bottom of the page, look for "Storage" among the buttons along the top. Click Storage to show the cookies.

Image

In the left tree-menu select the domain mma-torrents.com under cookies.

Image

You are presented with a long line of cookie values. There is a "name" column and a "value" column.

Find the name "pass" and its value (a long string of numbers and lowercase letters) and double click it to select it. Then copy the value and paste it into your pass details for your torrent client.

Code:
https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php:COOKIE:uid=xxxx;pass=abc123abc123abc123etcetcetc


Find the name "uid" (you might need to scroll down a little to find it) and double click the value to select it. Then copy the value and paste it into your uid details for your torrent client.

Code:
https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php:COOKIE:uid=1234;pass=abc123abc123abc123etcetcetc


Enter the details into your feed details and save in your torrent client.

Image

Now the torrents should start to download without problems if you did everything right.

Test it by double clicking the torrents in the rss feed in your client.

Right on! I got it sorted on qBittorrent using the following steps:

I changed the url of the RSS feed to include the cookie information like you suggested, but in qBittorrent it likes a "?" to be inserted right after the "php" for some reason. It ended up looking like this:

Code:
https://mma-torrents.com/rssdl.php?:COOKIE:uid=xxxx;pass=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


qBittorrent has a built-in cookie manager where the uid and pass cookie information may be added. For some reason, the information I had added initially wasn't there anymore (!!!) so I re-added it. It might have been overwritten during a recent update. Anyway, maybe adding the cookie information in both places is a bit redundant, but everything is working for me now so I'll just slowly back away and leave it alone :ympray:

Thanks again for your help! It got me down the right path.

Hi Dent, I don't know if I have the same issue as the fellow who made the thread. I have been downloading for years without difficulty, I have changed nothing, yet I cannot get a torrent to connect for me?

Are you using qBittorrent? Also, did you try following Dent's instructions above and modify the feed url? I had to re-add my cookie information to qBittorrent's cookie manager and I added the cookie information (plus a question mark...see above) to the feed url in qBittorrent to get things working again.

Hi , I am not using qbittorrnet. I am using utorrent, as well as chrome so the above directions did not seem to work. A torrent has finally connected but stalled out at 73%?
