After importing a torrent, it constantly stops downloading due to "Reading past the end of file" errors.

Using svn 540904.

It seems when it imports, it only makes files in the torN folder the size of the amount of actual data in the source file, instead of taking into acount the 0ed sparse parts.

edit,

It also seems to start any imported torrent for seeding, and has all the files unselected for download.

Import is also horribly slow compared to most clients.

Are you sure you are pointing KT to the correct location ? When files are not present, we assume they are excluded.

Absolutely. The files show up as nn% in the list (less than 100), and once I "check" them, the torrent moves back over to the downloading tab.

I was messing around with the partial file importer today and had some strange things happen.

I had a completed multi-file torrent I wanted to seed. I had renamed some of the files. I imported the torrent with the plugin, and the files that had been moved showed up as deselected. However, when I re-selected those files, ktorrent started copying data to the temporary directory. What data exactly was it copying, since the file should be empty? Any why TO the temporary directory when a file has been selected, not deselected? I didn't really look at it but something is wrong.

Also, Time Left reporting doesn't seem to work correctly for imported torrents, or any torrent where the speed is high then drops by several orders of magnitude and stays there. In both situations the Time Left reading seems to stay low and slowly counts upwards, rather than estimating based on the new speed.

I just got another "reading past end of file" error again. all files that it happens to are stored in the torN/cache folder, and this last time it was a text file that already downloaded/marked as "do not download".

I am having the same problem.

With ktorrent offline, I moved files from one hard drive to another. I then started ktorrent, and when it asked where the files were, I pointed it to the new location, and it recognized the files, 89% of them. Now I'm getting the Error: Reading past the end of the file and points to one of the files that was part of the torrent I was downloading.

I deleted that one file, and it continued just fine.

Just thought I'd contribute a little to the understanding of this problem since I didn't find much info on google about it.
