Mint Torrent Download - Too Many Redirects

[Greenpalmer]

When I tried to download Mint 18 Sarah Cinnamon 32bit recently by using the torrent link uTorrent gave me an error message "Too Many Redirects" for the tracker so I had to cancel it and use regular download instead. Anybody else having the same problem with the torrent download?

I am using bit torrent to download 64 bit Mint. There is no problem. If one torrent site does not work please try using another one.

You are not given a choice of torrent sites

I get choices and have been successfully downloaded Mint via tortent.

This may help.

Perhaps I didn't explain the original problem very well:

It's following the download by torrent link from the Linux Mint website that results in the "Too Many Redirects" message in uTorrent.

Hello, I downloaded Mint with Bit torrent on my Android phone without any problem can you try Bit torrent?

Well I tried using BitTorrent instead of uTorrent as the client and it worked.

Interestingly BitTorrent only connected using DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange, and could not connect through the http://torrents.linuxmint.com tracker which is where uTorrent was getting the "Too Many Redirects" error.

So I tried again using uTorrent and this time waited a few seconds after receiving the "Too Many Redirects" error message and sure enough uTorrent then started downloading using DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange.

So the problem seems to be with the http://torrents.linuxmint.com tracker, although it is not a showstopper after all.

I am having the same problem with Mint 18 Xfce 64. I think whoever set up the torrent made an error. Can download successfully only only using DHT, Local Peer Discovery and Peer Exchange. Seeding for several days cause I love Xfce.
