      Hi, I hope all is well with everybody.

      I have recently purchased NordVPN and applied SOCKS5 onto my uTorrent client directly in the settings (using Port 1080 as instructed by NordVPN). I have noticed now that anything I download/seed from gaytorrent.ru has 'Could not obtain SSL chunk size' error message on my uTorrent and it is displayed as Red. However, my other Private trackers run okay with no issues with NordVPN SOCKS5. When I disable NordVPN, gaytorrents.ru torrents run as normal. Is there any settings that I need to apply in my uTorrent to make it work with NordVPN-SOCKS5?

      I have added a screenshot below and covered my username for security reasons.

      Unfortunately, it seems nobody on the forums are having my exact issue so I was wondering if anybody here might be able to help please.

      Many thanks in advance 🙂

      Zuzu

        It might be that the other trackers are not using secure http connection (https), but a plain http connection.

        You could try to change the tracker announce URL in the properties to start with http://tracker.gaytorrent.ru:2710/… (no 's' and added port ':2710') to use plain http for gaytorrent.ru, too.

        There is an option to change the default of this in the Profile Settings (for future downloads).

          Hi Popper, thanks for your advise.

          However, MrMazda(Admin staff) was great in providing me with the solution earlier below:

          Basically, it appeared that my SOCKS Proxy server wasn't compatible with the Tracker's SSL settings. So I was instructed to go to my 'Profile', then 'uncheck' the "SSL Tracker" box and "Submit Changes".

          From there, I had the choice to either re-download the .torrent, or change the tracker URL (similar to what you were referring to Popper) in uTorrent with:

          https://tracker.gaytorrent.ru/

          to the following

          http://tracker.gaytorrent.tw:2710/

          So my understanding is that as my SSL Tracker is disabled now, my future downloads shouldn't have this problem. I have now tested it with new downloads and all is working as it should do.

          Just like to say a Huge Thank you to all!

          :thx:
