Hey all -
I am trying to get rtorrent up and running with my favorite tracker, but am running into this error:
Tracker: [Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates]I went ahead and followed the instructions in this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=331850
... but that didn't help either. I have also searched the forums for my tracker and found nothing. A friend of mine using the same tracker and rtorrent is not having this problem, and says that he did not take any specific configuration steps to account for it.
So what exactly could be happening to cause this?
My ~/.rtorrent.rc:
# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
# uncomment the options you wish to enable.
# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
#min_peers = 40
#max_peers =
# Same as above but for seeding completed torrents (-1 = same as downloading)
#min_peers_seed = 10
max_peers_seed = 50
# Maximum number of simultanious uploads per torrent.
#max_uploads = 15
# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 15
upload_rate = 5
# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /media/ZaceMach2/Downloads/Music
# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = /home/daedalus/.session
# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
#schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=./watch/*.torrent
#schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
# Close torrents when diskspace is low.
#schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=100M
# Stop torrents when reaching upload ratio in percent,
# when also reaching total upload in bytes, or when
# reaching final upload ratio in percent.
# example: stop at ratio 2.0 with at least 200 MB uploaded, or else ratio 20.0
#schedule = ratio,60,60,"stop_on_ratio=200,200M,2000"
# The ip address reported to the tracker.
#ip = 127.0.0.1
#ip = rakshasa.no
# The ip address the listening socket and outgoing connections is

port_range = 35100-35600
# Start opening ports at a random position within the port range.
#port_random = no

# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.
check_hash = yes
# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
#use_udp_trackers = yes
# Alternative calls to bind and ip that should handle dynamic ip's.

# plaintext to RC4 encryption after the encrypted handshake

#encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext
encryption = allow_incoming,try_outgoing,enable_retry
# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),

# Hash read-ahead controls how many MB to request the kernel to read

I found a solution. You need to add the certificate from your tracker to curl's trusted cert repository:
openssl s_client -connect <your tracker.com>:443 </dev/null 2>/dev/null |sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,/END CERTIFICATE/p' >>/usr/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crtI hope this helps anyone else who has this problem.
Alternatively, you can consult this blog post: http://hokietux.net/blog/?p=9
