I'm using Ktorrent 2.0 beta 1 under OpenSUSE 10.0.

I found a huge 12 GB torrent filled with probably 50 or 60 different selectable files. I didn't want to download the whole thing, so I selected seven or eight of them.

Now, every time I close Ktorrent (for reboots, etc) and open it up again, my files are still selected... but the bottom 25 or so files are ALSO selected! Basically, every time I restart Ktorrent, I've got to stop it right away and go and unselect all of the files I don't want to download.

Am I making sense? If not, I can try explaining some other way.

I think I saw this behavior recently but I cannot reproduce it somehow.
Anybody else have the same problem?

If somebody wants to try reproducing it, they could download a torrent with a large number of files, select a few here and there (writing down which ones), download a bit, end the program, restart it, and see if the checked files match up.

If you could possibly upload your file_info and file_priority files from the temp dir for that torrent to the KDE bugtracker (create a new bug at http://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi then add an attachment) or somewhere else and link them here we should be able to tell whether the data is being written wrong or read wrong. I probably introduced this bug with the file prioritization changes.

I don't think we had any changes in those parts of the code except maybe the file prioritization code.

So this is pretty strange.

Send me a torrent which shows this behavior so I can reproduce it here.

This looks to be very similar, but it was resolved almost a year ago. In my case, it's not that ktorrent won't remember which files were (not) marked, it seems to only remember the first half or so in a large number of files. Here's the bug report:

Bug 111660: ktorrent should remember what files are market to not download (wishlist)

Version: svn from 08/28/2005 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs

When I open ktorrent, I choose what files in a torrent pack not to download, so this way I can download torrents larger than my HD space.
The problem is that ktorrent dosen't remember/save those chooses I made, to I hade to unmark the files I don't want to download every time I open it.

Please, make it remember what files I don't want to download in config files.

So it's not working because I just got SVN version compiled and tested 5 times before reporting this wish.
Should I chance it from wish to bug?

Update to the latest, this has been fixed. It was a bug.

That bug was fixed a long time ago this is a different one.

OK, I have got your torrent, what happens is that which files need to be excluded is loaded (file tree view is OK), but that the chunks in those files are not marked as excluded.

And you do not need a huge torrent to reproduce this.

OK, it seems we forgot to initialize a variable in a recently added feature.

Great, I'm glad that you found the problem!! Great work!
