Bug: Status is Seeding on Error

Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:11 pm
I'm using KTorrent 3.1.2, on Ubuntu Repositories...

I have a torrent that tracker status is an error (This torrent is not registered with this traked), but on the torrents list, in the status column it has Seeding with green color, so I though everything was ok finding the error only by chance...

The status should change to Error, or something...

Yeah, this happens when a torrent is removed from the tracker. Then you get such replies, you can only remove the torrent from your client and see if there is the same torrent available on the tracker.

I know what happened :P The problem is that I had no warning that it was happening, as in the torrents list, in the status column appear "Seeding" in green color. I assume everything is ok...

I've just seen what happened basically because of the opposite, I've seen a new version on the tracker and was intrigued why I didn't had an error on ktorrent.

ktorrent should change the status column to "Error: Invalid Torrent" in red color, instead of saying that it's correctly seeding

Just because you cannot reach the tracker; doesn't mean you cannot seed the torrent. It's still possible to find new peers via DHT or you still might be connected to peers.

But maybe the green "Seeding" could become orange (or some other color) to have a visual hint that there might be a problem.

How about we show a warning icon in the status column, and a tooltip when the tracker is in an error state ?
