Error - The torrent file seems to be broken

[Horisarte]

... or may be I'm having it first time.

Server keep giving me error while uploading its Error - The torrent file seems to be broken. This happens sometimes - please retry your maketorrent-software.

though I'm creating torrents the same way as I used to. What's that? A Sunday bug?

Yup, TPB usually shits the bed on the weekend. Not sure why but I would assume it's because of a lot of traffic. Just speculation though....

Uploading has been borked for just under an hour so that may have something to do with the error message. Others are getting the error when trying to upload as well. The TPB Admin has been told uploading has gone for a burton and is hopefully working on fixing it. Keep an eye on the status link at the top of any forum page to see when the new torrents column is active again.

edit - OP, I changed the title of the thread so that it stands out for anyone coming here who's had the same error.

Keep getting this error trying to upload
.torrent file is fine and already seeding to users who downloaded it off  another site

Indicates the issue is here

Thank you Horisarte for starting thread (mini kiss/hug )
and for replies.

Ugh, so wish I had searched here first.
Had never seen that message before - nice change from error 4 kinda.

Restarted machine.
Recreated .torrent file (about 5 times)
removed a .jpg within the torrent,
Located folder in different locations on drive,
even removed a hyphen in Title description bar.
Almost was going to go looking for another
program to create .torrent file.
Then thought - mmm, wonder if I should go
check out here? Was a good idea.
Will wait a while and try again bit later.

Oh, even thought maybe I have something in
utorrents preferences that was causing a
problem. Tried also stopping all other torrents
that were seeding.

Soo many possiblities, so little time
Cheers, Sue.

Still doing this as of 5 minutes ago. Thought I had a broken torrent, so I remade it. After trying everything else, I came here.

Keep an eye on the TPB Status page.  When Winston sobers up enough to check WTF is going on, you'll see the "new torrents" column lighting up again.
