I'm running Mandriva 2007 spring and ktorrent 2.1.4.. I am new to ktorrent, so if someone else has reported this bug, sorry about that!

I have 4 downloads running at the same time. (I assume I can have as many downloads as I want?)

The first three downloads are fine, but if I click on the 4th download in progress, and then click on Files, the "Preview" column and the "% Complete" statistics column are empty. However, right now, I can see from the main area that 18.8% of the 4th download is complete. Further, I can use my File Manager and measure the size of the Files and they definitely have data in them.

Also, I happen to know this info was displayed properly in this download when it was in the 3rd position...before it was moved into the 4th place by my last addition.

It's not a big deal at all, but kind of strange that the first 3 downloads have this information being kept just fine.

Strange, have you tried 2.2beta1 yet ?

Also what happens when you add a fifth download ?

I haven't tried 2.2beta1 yet. Has anyone in Mandriva made it into a rpm yet?

I took the plunge and added a 5th download. ktorrent placed it in the 4th position on my screen shoving the problem torrent onward to the 5th position. AND the new 4th position torrent that I just added does have "Preview" and "% Completed" being filled in properly. The old problem torrent is still last in the display and now in the 5th position is still not filling in these blanks. Which prompts the question, is it a "last place bug" or is it something unique to this one torrent? Speaking of something unique, the problem torrent's name starts with "[ ]" brackets around the site name and then the name of the torrent as the displayed name, something that must be a bit rare, maybe.

I am not sure what I could pick that would be alphabetically placed after "[ ]" or how I would find such an animal to download in order to see what happens in last place on a new torrent....but since evidently no one else has reported this bug, I am suspecting it is not the position but the "[ ]". Ha Ha Ha

WTF, you have ghost torrents

Could you send that torrent to me ?

I guess that's better than having crabs, right?

I am not sure what you mean by asking me to send you "the torrent", as it has grown to 3.16 Gig so far....so I am assuming that isn't what you are asking for. Could you tell me where this is located?

In the meantime, I have taken a picture of my screen with the File Tab enabled so you can see what I am seeing, and the "[ ]" named torrent showing, and emailed that to you.

He meant send the .torrent file. It's the file you downloaded to be able to start downloading whatever data that you're downloading with KTorrent. It's almost certainly no larger than a few KB's. That way he can attempt to download the same stuff as you and see if he has the same problems that you are.

Thanks Kalessin!

I guess I should have explained that I use my browser and just click and it is all automatic from that point on, so I didn't know where the torrent ended up being stored in ktorrent.

At any rate, after I read your note, I went back to the source of the torrent and manually downloaded the torrent and attached it for George to an email and sent it to him.

Thanks!

I don't think that the .torrent file really gets stored by KTorrent anywhere. It gets what information it needs from it and then stores that information internally in whatever format works for it. Now, in the SVN version (and possibly in 2.2beta1 - I don't know what all is in that), KTorrent has a feature that allows you to specify where you want KTorrent to save a copy of the .torrent file so that you can have it in case you need it later. Other than that, you'd have to save it to disk with your browser from wherever you got it in order to have a copy of it (which it looks like you just did).

What about

RMB on torrent in KT → Open Directory… → Temporary Directory

and a file named „torrent” in that dir?

Well, then apparently KTorrent _does_ keep the .torrent file around. A diff between that and the .torrent file associated with the torrent that I opened the temporary directory for shows them to be identical. It appears that my assumption was incorrect, but then again, I've never gone searching for .torrent files in KTorrent's data directories before. All the same, the new feature that saves the .torrent file where you want it is quite nice.

OK, you need to take a closer look at that torrent : each episode has it's own directory, we don't show percentage and preview for directories.

If you expand the directory, you will see that each file in the directory will have the percentage column and preview status filled in.

Ah! I see what you mean. Tricky. The first 5 seasons weren't done like this one. Thanks George. Sorry about the confusion.

Maybe we should add percentage for directories.

Maybe we should add percentage for directories.

I'm all for it. If nothing else, then I don't have to open the directories to see how much of their files have been downloaded (this is particularly irritating when the torrent creator saw fit to create a folder per file - fortunately most torrent creators aren't that irritating).
