Torrentflux stopped connecting to torrents

I have been using Torrentflux for months with no problems at all. The other week my torrents stopped connecting to the trackers (new ones and existing ones). The error message I get is warning - crypto library not installed. I have googled this error and found the resolution for linux desktop users http://www.torrentflux.com/forum/index.php?topic=3715.0 - they need to install python-crypto, although I am usure how to get this onto the ReadyNAS.

I have also tried disabling the Only allow encrypted connections and the Stealth crypto options from within Torrentflux's settings and this doesn't help.

Does anyone know how to get python-crypto onto the ReadyNAS or is anyone else aware of an alternate fix for this?

Update: this only appears to be happening on newly downloaded torrent files. Is anyone else having this problem?

  • I will check
    did you try transmission ? transmission is up to date and more comaptible with last trackers version
  • This problem looks like it is a problem with trackers from ilovetorrents.com other trackers I have tried appear to be OK.
  • Does anyone know how to update python-crypto onto the ReadyNAS. I have the Apt plugin installed and I have read on the Torrentflux forums to update the python-crypto files with apt-get install python-crypto http://www.torrentflux.com/forum/index.php?topic=4040.msg22047. I am hesitant in running this apt get command because of this warning on the ReadyNAS webste: http://www.readynas.com/?p=145 "Please note that you can get your ReadyNAS into peril easily by overriding some of the system libraries and utilities. Do not do your development on a system you don’t have a backup of as you may end up re-installing the firmware or worse yet, doing a factory default."

    super-poussin do you think I will brick my ReadyNAS if I run apt-get install python-crypto ?

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    python-dev: Depends: python (< 2.4) but 2.7.3~rc2-1.1rnx2 is to be installed
