Just to confirm some of the troubleshooting undertaken in this thread, and adding some findings of my own:
- Magnet links can be added but don't start, they sit at 0 seeders and peers and display the null error mentioned previously in the event log:
JS error: [778] Unable to get value of the property '262': object is null or undefined
- Searching the file hash value of the magnet in Google and adding the .torrent file does work, it just seems to be magnet links that are broken.
- This doesn't seem to be an issue on uTorrent, if the client is installed on a desktop PC it will download fine, additionally the uTorrent WebUI version 0.370 if installed on a desktop PC or similar continues to work fine with magnet links, this seems to be something linked to the Buffalo uTorrent distribution.
- This isn't something linked solely to magnets from TPB. I am unable to download legitimate magnet links from other sites such as mininova.org - starting a magnet reports the same error, downloading the matching .torrent works fine.
- No official word from Buffalo in this thread as of yet, based on the amount of people with the same issue it looks to be a global fault.
-This isn't linked to firmware version, problem occurred for me on a box that had been running 1.56 happily for months. Upgrading didn't resolve the issue. I have access to several boxes in different locations running various firmwares, 1.56, 1.57, 1.60 - the issue is present on all.
- Resetting the Linkstation to factory defaults, formatting and/or erasing BitTorrent settings does not resolve the issue.
