Bug Description

Binary package hint: ktorrent

I'm using Jaunty, running the default ktorrent (3.2.1+dfsg.1-0ubuntu3).

Many torrents stall or don't even start because the trackers are sending invalid HTTP headers and KIO chokes on them.

It chokes on responses that don't have a Content-Length header. I'm not sure if this has been addressed in KIO or not, but the latest KTorrent has a workaround for the issue. In the meantime I'm unable to download from most trackers when using KTorrent.
