"Failed to add torrent. The retrieved content is not a valid torrent file."

Hi, with the release of Jyukaizer 8 and 9 this week, I have been getting "Failed to add torrent. The retrieved content is not a valid torrent file." errors when adding torrent files downloaded from the tvnihon site to my bittorrent client. I'm seeing this with any files that I download directly from the tvnihon site.

I found that magnet links for TV-Nihon content that Tokyo Toshokan lists do seem to work (I was able to download Jyukaizer 8 this way), but any direct torrent file download links also throw up an error:
"ID not found! You can't download if you don't tell me what you want!"

I wanted to see if this was a problem on my end or not.

I've been getting a similar error message for those Jyukaizer torrents too

I reached out to our tech guy, never seen this happen before

FWIW, I cannot replicate this error. Which doesn't mean it's not happening, but it's not something obvious.

That "ID not found" error message is what the TVN tracker spits out when you try to download a torrent without an ID number. Is it possible your web browser is somehow truncating the URL?

e.g. https://tracker.tvnihon.com/download.php?id=8229

The reason you can't replicate this is because I reverted an upgrade I did on the backend shortly before you tried. I did the upgrade two days ago, which is probably when it broke. I had tested everything but opening the downloaded torrent file. Did not think to test that part

Thanks for looking into this issue. The torrent files look to be downloading correctly and working again on my end.
