I wrote a c++ program to restart ktorrent each time it crashes (more like disappears as nothing comes up to say its crashed).
Unfortunatly, it doesnt work
At least for ktorrent, this is the output of the program:

Code: Select all

Enter Program Name: ktorrent
Program Start Time: Sat Dec 30 20:03:14 2006
Qt: Warning: QObject::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter
Program Terminated
Program Close Time: Sat Dec 30 20:03:14 2006

Reopening Program
Program Start Time: Sat Dec 30 20:03:14 2006
ktorrent is already running!
Program Terminated
Program Close Time: Sat Dec 30 20:03:14 2006


it then repeats the reopening program already running terminated.......

This is the program code:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char name[15];

    cout<<"Enter Program Name: ";
    cin>>name;
  time_t hold_time;
  hold_time=time(NULL);
  cout<<"Program Start Time: "<<ctime(&hold_time);

  while(system (name) !=1)
  {
    for (time_t t = time(0) + 5; time(0) < t; ) {}
      cerr<<"Program Terminated"<<endl;
      cout<<"Program Close Time: "<<ctime(&hold_time)<<endl;
      cout<<"Reopening Program"<<endl;
      cout<<"Program Start Time: "<<ctime(&hold_time);
  }

  return 0;

}


Ktorrent stays open but I just get a lot of scrolling text on the console.
Is there anyway I can get this to work as ktorrent closes at the most annoying times (when Im sleeping )
Thanks for any help

What version are you running ?

mon dec 18 svn.
I changed the time to check every 45 mins (5 secs is a bit too short), it works fine (except for the huge resources for some reason), just something saying warning and disconnect for a torrent proggie doesnt sound nice.
Thanks

Just installed the latest svn, same error.

In fact the problem seems to comes from small marked as not dl files !

I have similar problem with multi-file torrent where I ask ktorrent to not dl the .sfv file of the torrent.

It makes ktorrent find the torrent as incompleted and stupidly re-dl that file (as I said I don't want it at all!).

This whould be cool to fix it.

Either by adding a set of files to avoid and store needed side chuck in .dtd or .dtd.chunck for example, like this :
ignore[0]=some_torrent_relative_path/somefile.ext
ignore[1]=some_torrent_relative_path/somefile.ext
...

or makes ktorrent better use .dtd files to store only needed partial chunck to makes data integrity check works.
(or lower the filecheck at torrent load)

See this example :

A backtrace would be nice, for this crash.

Btw, for your restart program, you should use the function sleep, to sleep 5 seconds. That will get rid of the CPU usage, seeing that sleep will give the CPU to somebody else.

This is totally not related.

Anyway, I can see this happening when you import a torrent, or the data is allready there. But this should not happen with a download where you start from scratch.

Also deselecting those tiny files is totally useless, the data of those files will be downloaded anyway.

Is it fixed in latest release ?
(or shoud I request a new fix for avoid having forever a popup for each nodownload file at start)

Ill do it tonight and save the debug log (everytime ive done this so far it hasnt crashed yet though so fingers crossed it does tonight ). I dont get the kde screen saying the program crashed though, it just dissapears.
Thanks for the sleep tip.
