uTorrent + Secure Tracker = HTTP Error 400

Post by heavensblade23 »

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with wine 1.0.

Every time I try to connect to a secure tracker via uTorrent, I get HTTP Error 400 from the tracker and the torrent never starts.

How do I fix this?

Don't use secure tracker or try installing ies4linux and use it's WINEPREFIX for mTorrent.

When someone asks how to do <x> telling them they don't need <x> or shouldn't do <x> is not constructive. It's not like I just picked a random secure tracker off google and got mad because it didn't work. It's a friendly community I've been a member of for two years.

Your second suggestion, however, is constructive and I will try it next time I install Ubuntu. I've already gone back to Windows because of this issue, among others.
