Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help. I installed phpbttrkplus version 2.1 and I read all of the documentation. I believe that I have set everything up correctly.
I'm able to log into the admin area and upload a torrent. I've double checked my announce URL in the config and it matches the one I use to create a torrent.
I create the torrent using a program called Maketorrent 2.1 and I'm using uTorrent 1.3 to seed it.
The problem is that I always get an error message telling me "Tracker sending invalid data".
I can tell you why you are getting that error, and also that there is not a thing you can do about it.
You are using a free website that inserts advertising into every page displayed (including tracker responses.)
Tracker responses are encoded in a very specific way, and if anything else gets inserted, it corrupts the tracker response. (This is why you get a 'Tracker sending invalid data' response.)
You need to get a website that does not mangle the http pages in any way, which usually means you have to pay for the hosting.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks for letting me know. At least now I know I wasn't making a stupid mistake. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and I went over the configuration at least 10 times.

The url to my tracker is http://www.hollaforadolla.com/bigup/ and the announce URL I'm using is http://www.hollaforadolla.com/bigup/tracker.php/announce
Can someone please tell me why I keep getting this error message?
Thanks.
