Re: [libtorrent] Current CVS version functional?

[Arvid N. <c9...@cs...>]

connecting to trackers has been working well, and I haven't
changed anything that I can think of in that code recently.

I'll have to look into this. Did you try with official client
and succeed with the same torrent?

i.e. it should be working. Since it's reporting a standard http
error code, I think that it really is the tracker not letting
you in without a password.

libtorrent supports http authentication, so if you have a username
and password you could modify the client_test.cpp and set the tracker
login on the torrent_handle.
