Hi,

the following just happened:

I startet downloading a torrent with ktorrent, let it run a while, and then finished downloading with azureus.
After i restarted ktorrent, it started downloading again and showing wrong download progress values. It should instead have recognized, that the data is complete, and should have started seeding.

You need to use the import plugin for that.

I have to agree that it's a broken system though. Every other BT client checks data when doing "save as". I think it'd be better if KTorrent did it too.

I don't think it's so bad.... you just have to take into account that KTorrent want you to use the import wizard.

PS. the faq needs some helping hand on this.

I'm gonna change that, it is not really logical at the moment. I'm also going to add the option to check a download at any moment.

hi, i just encountered a crash with ktorrent (svn from yesterday), one file seeding, and one downloading. I started it with kdevelop in gdb and got this backtrace.

(gdb) backtrace

#13 0xbff93170 in ?? ()
#14 0xb7474495 in QGList::prepend () from /usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3

As this looks a bit weird to me, maybe someone else can give me a hint how to debug this (have it running with gdb at the moment).

Was it a segmentation fault (SIG_SEGV) ?

The crash is in the middle of Qt code, so I doubt we will be able to do much.

Yes, AFAIR it was a SIGSEGV. I just wondered that it crashed out of the blue with the backtrace beginning in QGList::prepend.

It just happened again. Error Signal was a SIGPIPE, same backtrace.

The first thing KT does is ignore SIGPIPE's.

sorry, i know now whats going on. Somehow Installation of kdesvn caused kded to crash all the time with an svn::ClientException. Even when just using konqueror. Thats probably the reason for my ktorrent problems too.

That seems totally unrelated.
