How can I change the minimal announced interval?

Post by sloke123 »

I am on several trackers. But only one tracker gives headaches all the time. I keep getting this error - "You last announced 1 second ago. Please respect the minimum interval". Is there any setting to change the interval time? I want to make things clear from my side before raising any ticket on that tracker.

Thanks in advance.

There is a value called "min_announce_interval".
See: https://www.libtorrent.org/reference-Settings.html

It should be 5mins by default unless you change your libtorrent at build.
As far as I am aware, qBittorrent does not expose or let you change this in any way.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm using the official build for Windows. So, that means I can't change it, right?

You might need to adjust your client's announce interval settings to match the tracker's requirements. Check your torrent client's settings and ensure it's not announcing too frequently.

Hi there,

I'm actually hitting this with a tracker that uses a newer platform called UNIT3D. In the github code, there's a HARD CODED announce limit of a number that looks like it's supposed to be 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

https://github.com/HDInnovations/UNIT3D ... er.php#L46

Transmission is having issues with UNIT3D. I don't have this problem on trackers that run libtorrent variants, Gazelle, etc.

@sloke123 et al:

I have an update. If you're still having this issue AND you're using Transmission for Mac, there's an bug in 4.0.6 that's causing repeated and looping announces. You should downgrade to 4.0.5 until it's resolved. Transmission 4.0.6 is getting blacklisted on some trackers because of this bug.

Simply throw the Transmission app in the trash, and download the DMG from their Github releases page. You'll need to click ">Assets" to see the list of downloads. Look for Transmission-4.0.5.dmg.

https://github.com/transmission/transmi ... /tag/4.0.5

Your torrents in progress will pick up automatically. There's nothing else you need to do.

Well you can always use a virtual machine to make your own build if you want.
But trackers don't like being hammered. Ie.: You abuse this and they might just flag you for suspension.

It's not that hard/complicated: viewtopic.php?t=11065

Of course you'd have to make your changes at the libtorrent step, before you start compiling it.
