No announce entry torrent will always crash the daemon 1.74 (8994)

[skygunner]

Some torrents doesn't have any announce entry in the torrent file, only rely on DHT and peer exchange.These kind of torrent file will crash always crash the daemon.

Running transmission-daemon 1.74 (8994) on FreeNAS 0.7 RC1 4735 i386 (FreeBSD 7.2) I remember if a torrent file is invalid to transmission, it will report as "xxxxx.torrent is not a valid torrent file. The torrent file cannot be opened because it contains invalid data." or similar.

But with this case I tried, invalid torrents files always crashes the daemon immediately after I tried to add it. If I run it fore ground, message is [code] [23:41:58.457] 777: Invalid metadata entry "announce" Floating point exception code

These torrent files doesn't have a malformed tracker address, they don't have any tracker info/announce entry at all! Only rely on DHT and peer exchange. I think that's why they crashes the daemon. After adding an announce entry to the torrent file (using BitComet? and save as), it can be added to transmission-daemon without problem.

The torrent file can be found here ​http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/231367/invalidMetaEntryAnnounce1.torrent another one ​http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/231367/invalidMetaEntryAnnounce2.torrent

See ticket 2384(fixed) Crashes when some invalid torrents are added ​http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2384 One thread talk about invalid metadata entry "announce" ​http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5788&start=0&hilit=Invalid+metadata+entry+announce Another one ​http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5788&start=0&hilit=Invalid+metadata+entry+announce

I can't build the tar ball for 1.75 at this moment, so don't know if 1.75 has fixed this? If not, can we make transmission-daemon to skip the step trying to check/connect to the tracker? Maybe give a warning no tracker found and DHT needs to be enabled to be able to download it? Or even add a default tracker server?

after adding tracker using BitComet? (may cleaned out some crab files)

Is this still the case in 1.75?
