Hello I have a an error that I have attempted with failure to manage
the code that is having trouble is this function
def get_peer_info_from_magnet( magnet, ports, opt ):
ses = lt.session()
ses.listen_on( ports[0], ports[1] )
ses.set_download_rate_limit( opt.download_rate * 1024 )
ses.set_upload_rate_limit( opt.upload_rate * 1024 )
h = lt.add_magnet_uri( ses, magnet, {
'save_path': opt.save_path,
'storage_mode': lt.storage_mode_t.storage_mode_sparse,
'seed_mode': True,
#'tracker_url': opt.tracker_url,
'paused': False
} )
which is yielding the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/multiprocessing/process.py", line 232, in _bootstrap

'paused': False
KeyError: 'auto_managed'
I looked up this error in the libtorrent documentation and found a method set_upload_mode() which looked promising but I either am not using it correctly or it is not the correct path to go down.
Thank you for your help
It appears that libtorrent is expecting you to pass in an auto_managed parameter. Based on the error, this may be due to the 'paused': False parameter you are passing in; you may need to pass 'auto_managed': True along with this, though I haven't used libtorrent myself so I'm not sure. You might also want to try removing the 'paused': True, and see if that works.
After taking a closer look, it looks like add_magnet_uri() is deprecated in libtorrent. Instead, you are simply supposed to call add_torrent() and pass in a url parameter with the magnet URL. You might want to give that a try.
