Hi, its me again, your friendly neighborhood bug finder.

I have three torrents in my list that _WONT_ switch back to letting the queue controll them (they are marked as user controlled). You can use the dialog to switch them, it _looks_ like it works till you reopen the dialog and everything is back to what it was.

Also, if I try starting them, I get a message about "Cannot start more than N downloads and N seeds..." which is somewhat ridiculous, as I even set it to 0, and then it says I can't start more than 0 downloads \o/

I'm stumped, I don't have a clue what could cause either of the two issues.


edit: Oh, I just found another one:

Code: Select all

moose@natasha ~/data/ktorrent $ ls -lh tor26
total 36K
lrwxrwxrwx 1 moose moose   27 Mar 25 21:31 cache -> /home/moose/data/BitTorrent


Thats supposed to be a pointer to the Southpark episode file. not the Final dir.. I think this is related to the file moving as I've set it to save to BitTorrent/incomplete and then move into BitTorrent after.

Wow, wow, lots of weird things in there...

First QM:

You try to start a torrent and you get "Cannot start more than x downloads..." dialog? That should be impossible. User downloads don't have limits.


Could you try cleaning your temp directory ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent - back it up first and then delete it completely. Than start KT and add those torrents and try to do the same.

2. Moving data:

Can you tell me the exact steps you made? You first moved data to some incomplete dir and then you set 'move completed torrents to a dir'?
I need to reproduce this, if possible.

Well thats what it does..

Um, all 50?

All I did was setup the moving after upgrading ktorrent. After it started and downloaded some new torrents, as soon as it moved to seeding, it complains that "cant seed, filesystem is readonly", which is untrue, its just trying to open a dir as a file. (as the links are to the dir, not the file in the dir)

I figured it out finally.

Its caused by the "Start download on low diskspace" option when set to "Don't start".

I set it to always ask, and it asked, and let me start them (note, they are LARGE torrents, and I have at least 17GB free space).

Hm... Can you give me exact steps to reproduce this? You only set "start downloads on low disk space" to "don't start" and you get this QM problem? Or not?

Right. If you don't have enough disk space, and set it to "Don't Start", it comes up with the "Cannot start more than X downloads and X uploads" dialog when you attempt to start one of the torrents that would theoretically fill up the rest of your diskspace when finished.

I think its just a missing handler for the "Don't Start" "error/exception", and it falls back to the "too many torrents" error. imo.

I'll check it out. I think I know what's the problem.

I can confirm a similar problem with KTorrent here, SVN revision of today. One torrent in my queue is ~ 6.2GB large, and the target disk has currently 2,7GB free space. With the "Don't start" setting enabled, I only get the message:

Code: Select all

Cannot start more than 0 downloads, and 0 seeds. Go to Settings -> Configure KTorrent, if you want to change the limits.

The problem now is that the torrent only needs 2,1GB additional disk space, so it acutally would fit on the disk.

--chrschn

We still need to fix this.
