The torrent plugin using transmission, sometimes has a few hickups, tested on 2 different servers,

-Sometimes torrent stall randomly (the cron should detect this and delete and readd automatically for the user)
-Torrents sometimes complete and everything works fine, but the entry isnt removed from transmission and the torrent keeps seeding
-Sometimes when a torrent completes and another torrent with a similar name is still downloading the script wipes both from the transmission web portal.

These issues happen intermittently and its sometimes hard to replicate as Im not sure whats causing them or if its an issue with transmission, and I dont want to use utorrent due to some security vulnerabilities I saw posted online.

Unless all the above issues are only happening for me, im not sure. Anyone else notice any of the above?

i'm having the same issues with Transmission. i added a few magnet links to test concurrent downloads, some would start and complete others would just get stuck with "downloading..." but progress would show peers and "0.00%".

i will be giving uTorrent a try.

In uTorrent the plugin seems to be working fine with magnet links.

However, torrent uploading however doesn't. Shows an error to the user "Failed adding torrent file, or it may already be being downloaded. Please try again later."

I have tried other torrent files just in case. Same story.

The utserver logs shows the following:

[20160619 06:45:08] Unable to load "00003527-0001.utt": torrent is not valid bencoding!
[20160619 06:45:08] uT HTTP can't add torrent '/tmp/00003527-0001.utt': torrent is not valid bencoding
[20160619 06:50:58] Unable to load "00003527-0002.utt": torrent is not valid bencoding!
[20160619 06:50:58] uT HTTP can't add torrent '/tmp/00003527-0002.utt': torrent is not valid bencoding

I also tested to upload the torrent directly through the utserver web gui and it works just fine. Only through yetishare it doesn't work. If anyone knows what's wrong... feel free to do your good deed of the day. :D
