Description niki 2014-09-27 12:55:09 UTC

When you try to download directly from the list of SSR pops up the message from the attachment.
<Could not find a valind link to a torrent on......>
Downloading a file on instruction of the filter is also impossible, probably for the same reason.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Marking a file from the filter list
2.Click download


Actual Results:  
Pops up the  error message  <Could not find a valind link to a torrent on......>

Expected Results:  
Should start downloading magnet link

This bug has been for several years, and I've seen it 4 -5 different computers installed with open SUSE 64 bits

I'm having the same problem on Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64 bits.

RSS to test:
http://www.argenteam.net/rss/tvseries_torrents.xml

It seems to be a known problem:

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/498752-Ktorrent-d-not-magnet-via-rss

It also seems to be happening only to people running on 64 bits.

This is the shown log entry before throwing the error message:

Fri Dec 5 01:16:21 2014: Couldn't find a valid link to a torrent on http://www.argenteam.net/argenteam_tvseries_torrents/magnet:?xt=urn:btih:01a6b93a6ef7ba32c5be904c44f12373ac99a0e9&dn=Supernatural+S10E08+HDTV+x264-LOL+%5Beztv%5D&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337

As you can see, it seems to be trying to complete the magnet URI as if it was a URL relative to the RSS feed path.

Fix for magnet links in RSS-feeds

Here's a patch for ktorrent 4.3.1. I haven't examined enough feeds to see if this works everywhere, but it worked for the feed I tried.

Unfortunately the RSS-Addon does not work with https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/full-history/history-pbf-rss.xml and states "Failed to load feed https://planet.openstreetmap.org/pbf/full-history/history-pbf-rss.xml: Unknown retriever error". (Version 21.12.3)
