[libtorrent] force_reannounce() doesn't seem to do anything

[Murray S. K. <sup...@gm...>]

Greetings,

While talking to about 14 trackers that have min_announce set to 30
seconds, my clients calling force_reannounce() don't seem to actually do
any new tracker announces.  Is there more I have to do to make the
reannounces happen every time?

The initial announces all work and get replies showing a single seed
(myself), except for two unreachable trackers that then return an error.
The swarm doesn't form at first because there's a firewall between this
client and the rest of the swarm; the point of the reannounce is to have
this client discover the others and connect to them (which is allowed).
Somehow only the subsequent announces never happen.

This is with libtorrent-rasterbar 1.0.8 through the python bindings; the
call is simply a call to torrent_handle.force_reannounce() with no
arguments.

Any hints here?
