Why is this necessary ? What does the priority have to do with the info hash ?

Necessary? Technically none of my requests are necessary. I wanted to be able to grab a specific torrent based upon its priority without having to loop through the entire priority queue.

An Example:
+ Check last torrrent in queue's time downloaded, if zero, reassign priority to top of queue.

It is possible to just additionally add them to the KTorrent module, so you only have to connect to one signal for all torrents.

Well, that's disturbing. The reason I wanted a global hook is that if you cycle through all torrents and issue each a hook, then KT hangs (and drops peers, basically stops all activity) until the for loop is finished. If you issue a global hook, then there is no noticeable effect.

Which leads me to believe the kross-python scripting is orders of magnitude slower than the KT binary. Which I guess also supports my desire for a single global hook. But also puts a crimp in my idea to write you a fully configurable script based queue manager. (I say widget based, but I looked at that in 2.x and gave up.)

You have X amount of time, and I'm sure there's better things for you to be doing KT related than playing with 'window dressing.'** Besides which, it would offload a major section to the user community who have the capability to contribute at a script level, but not necessarily at a svn level.

I'll re-label the above with what is most useful/needed and then finish compiling the svn copy of KT I have and re-Q&A everything I've been doing with scripts and see how I can help then.

Can you use Decimal instead of double?

Code: Select all

tor.setMaxShareRatio(3.33)
tor.setMaxSeedTime(5.95)

getMaxShareRatio = 3.32999992371
getMaxSeedTime = 5.94999980927

And while you're in there can you add tor.currShareRatio() and tor.currSeedTime()? Or, tell me the filename you're doing the API in and I'll see what I can do on my own...
