I used 1.2rc1 with no problem at all. However, when I updated it into rc2, it showed a message "process of file protocol died unexpected" and never downloads any data.

I suspect this is some FAM/gamin change related but couldn't make it work even when I replaced FAM with gamin on my system. Could it be something else?

FAM, that is for monitoring files isn't it ?

I don't have a freebsd box, and know very little of freebsd (other then the fact that it is a unix variant).

But when does this 'process of file protocol died unexpected' message appear ?

The message appears when I run Ktorrent before anything else show up. The reason I thought that was kind of FAM related was the word "file protocol" in the message. I also noticed when I tried to downgrade to 1.0 binary, some message showed up saying something about gamin. Then I found out gamin is a new replacement for FAM.

1.0 binary works, but I miss the cool features in 1.2. Somehow I couldn't find the 1.2rc1 source code and makefile from FreeBSD cvs tree anymore, so I couldn't downgrade it to 1.2rc1. The greatest and latest binary I found was 1.0.

By searching on google, it seems that there is a migration from FAM to gamin. There is nothing more that I know about this FAM stuff.

When I run ktorrent from command line, I got the following message in the command line window.

QSocketNotifier: Socket descriptor too large for select()

Other then that, does it work ?

No, Ktorrent said: The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly.

Forgot to say that I am using KDE3.5.1 on FreeBSD 6.0 AMD64.

Do you get a KDE crash dialog ?

I have the exact same problem.Ii fixed it by just deleting the torrents that were downloading but not deleting the data that goes with them and then just reloading the torrent into ktorrent. You have to do that every once in a whille(weird bug)
