I'm trying to create some new game music torrents for the torrent site, however, I keep getting the error of:

invalid announce url! must be: http://tracker.magicite.net/announce.php ... only torrents created for our tracker will work here.

But within my torrent file, the only tracker listed is http://tracker.magicite.net/announce.php, and in the "Annouce" section of the torrent, it also has http://tracker.magicite.net/announce.php.

Any ideas? What do you use to create torrents? I've tried using the torrent creators in BitTorrent, BitComet, and MakeTorrent 2.1. None of them seem to work.

(I'm trying uTorrent as I posted this)

Edit: Ok, got it to work in uTorrent. Any ideas why it wouldn't work in anything else?

I haven't tried any of the other applications you mention, so without knowing the exact options the app has in it's torrent creator window, it's hard to say. Good that you got it working though. :)

I usually still use MakeTorrent 2.1 when creating torrents. I have never had the announce url problem you describe, though. The only problem I ever had with it was that it couldn't handle large file names with non-standard characters in them. (I'm thinking of some Dragon Quest mp3s that are like "01 A Few Words Here ~ A Few Words There ~ Casino ~ Requiem ~ Thou Art Dead.mp3" and the like.)
