500 Internal Server Error when trying to upload

[Leokosta]

Just as feedback, found a torrent on TPB with 16 MB chunk, and none of my torrent clients could open ( utorrent, Vuze and Deluge ).

I uploaded yesterday a GOG video game successfully but when i tried uploading it's sequel i got a "500 Internal Server Error" message even tough it's from the same source and follows the same naming patern. Any advice?

Same here. Trying to upload a 1,40 gb torrent since yesterday (721 x 2.00 MB).

I got my torrent finally through last night after 10 days of oggling that "500 Internal Server Error." The content size is 13 gb and it consists of 80 files, it's a complete TV series.

It seems the problem is the size off the .torrent file. When I downloaded a torrent creator which can use a 64 mb (!) file piece size, the .torrent size was reduced to 11,6 kb and it went through. A word of warning though. Doing that breaks compatibility with utorrent (any version), which I found out afterwards. Any users in the swarm /w utorrent stay at 0 % and only users with some other torrent clients get it downloaded. Vuze, Bittorrent, Bittornado, qBittorrent, Bitcomet and Transmission seem to be able to download torrents like that.

It is not arrogance, not even a little.

It is relative indifference on the part of the TPB admins--who focus almost exclusively on keeping the site running in the face of never-ending "legal" and illegal attempts to shut it down; something they have done better at than anyone else on the entire planet for well over a decade. Nobody will deny that it would be nice if they paid a bit more attention to the usability of the site but the bottom line is that because of them this is the safest place on the internet for any torrents you are able to get up here.

And it is honesty on the part of staff on this forum, who refuse to pander to people seeking, nay demanding, short definitive answers. Whether you like it or not, whether you think it is arrogant or not, the truth is that nobody here can fix the problem and nobody here knows whether the problem will ever be fixed let alone when.

It will be fixed when it is fixed. It is literally impossible for us to be any more specific than that. Given the amount of time it has been since the issue arose and TPB's history of dealing with issues which do not affect everyone it is not unreasonable to assume that it won't be fixed any time soon. But then again maybe it will...you will know as soon as we do.



PS. As for the other spammers--because, yes, I know who you are--they are able to upload because they got lucky, or perhaps because they paid attention to what has been posted in this thread. You can get back to your attempts at making as much money from our downloaders as possible before we ban you again if you do the same.
