    Hi,
    G3 main windows shows above error message when i add in a .torrent file which can work with other BT software such as BitSpirit.

    What happened? Is there any compatible problem for G3? I am a new user for G3.

    Would you please tell me how to solve this problem?

    Thanks !!

      Hi,

      OK... did you get any errors in the g3torrent.exe.log file? (It's located in the program files\g3torrent folder).  You might have errors similar to this (this is purely a guess):

      UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa5 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128) 

      This would indicate that the torrent is encoded using utf-8.  This is not supported by g3 999a but is supported by bitspirit (hence why I guessed). 

      I'm currently working new version of g3 that will allow this type of file to be used which will be released in a month or so.  In the mean time you could try g3 tweaked v0.3 which has some limited encoding support.

      Apologies if my guess was totally wrong... but either way, post a message back telling me how you got on.
