Error - File empty

[dynstab2]

^^ You now better understand why indexing has been blocked for a couple of days. And maybe this relative calm is only the eye of the storm... with the other half to pull in gradually next.

I can't upload because of the error as well, so it's not just you that's affected by it.

I've passed it on to the TPB Admin, so hopefully he'll get round to fixing it sometime soon. All we can do now is wait.

got this  Error - File empty
today.. trying to index a torrent
Pirate.Tor.Browser.0.8.(8.0.9).(Team-LiL)

last torrent indexed ok on 05-03 11:38
PC Building Simulator v1.2.3 x64 Repack Team-LiL

hope TPB Team get the Error fixed soon..


EDIT

seems it let me index a torrent file when use vpn in Canada but not my own country

didn't change nothing at all just left same information on the upload page..
all I did was change the vpn to Canada and it allowed to index my torrent file..

very strange as some times it lets me index from my own county
then other days I have to choose Canada or get error code

UPDATE:

Through trial and error i got this working.. it was caused by one (most likely several) of the following reasons:
- Title too long
- Description too long
- Too many tags

--- By playing around with these I encountered other errors and apparent glitches however was able to upload the same file that was receiving the "Error - File empty" error

i think the File empty error in my case was caused by the page reloading after a failed attempt that returned the 504 connection error

I would have to refresh the page and re enter the results before getting a non - empty file error

Not sure how long is too long for descriptions -

I have attempted to find information on the file types allowed in different catergories and the rules around tags and upload names...

If anyone can direct me here i would appreciate it

For those that receive empty file error in future:

It seems likely to be caused by an error in the web page that is caused by it refreshing after a failed upload:

To fix it i found that following this protocol will result in a successful upload:

- open new upload page tab
- copy and paste info from your failed upload into new one
- do one of the following:
                                     - Shorten title
                                     - Shorten Description
                                     - Shorten tag list
                                     - (didn't try but potentially may also impact) Shorten .torrent name length

-Re-attempt

I found that i had "error4" and "wrong code" come up randomly whilst re-attempting the same file several times without changing anything - making me think that this was the real error code,

In my experience the empty file error appears linked to your session's page rather than the file you are uploading and refreshing the page usually returns a different error.

Hope this helps others

Try re-making the torrent as 256 KB size pieces. That worked for me the last few times!

Just one problem at the moment.....no new torrents in hours.
