I've been using KTorrent for a couple of weeks now, with hardly any isues. Today though I made a change in the preferences and as soon as a clicked OK, the whole application closed with no error message at all. I tried re-launching it, and I will display the main window for a moment, and then close back to the desktop without an error. I had a torrent downloading, and I would really like to get it going again, but I can't seem to be able to keep the application open anymore.

I'm using 2.1beta1 installed from a .deb on Ubuntu Edgy in Gnome.

This happened to me once before and I could have sworn that all I did was delete the preferences for the program and then it started back up. Now I can't seem to remember where those preferences are.

Here is what I get when I try to launch the app from a console:

Code: Select all

Thanks for any help you guys can give me on this...

First of all the preferences can be found in :

~/.kde/share/config/ktorrentrc

Second, do you have a backtrace, and what did you change in the settings ?

Whats a backtrace, and how do I get you one? The setting that I changed was one of the bandwidth settings. Its hard to tell you the exact one, because I can't get into the program anymore. Also previously it did the same thing when I changed the port setting for DHT.

Ok, Getting rid of the preference file alloweed me to get back into the program again. The setting that I changed was on the "General" tab. It was the "Download Bandwidth".

One question, whats the difference between the Upload/Download Bandwidth on the "General" Tab, and the Maximum Upload/Download Rate on the "Downloads" Tab in the preferences?

I still have the old Preferences file if you want me to try to recreate the Startup problem.

One question, whats the difference between the Upload/Download Bandwidth on the "General" Tab, and the Maximum Upload/Download Rate on the "Downloads" Tab in the preferences?

The ones in 'General' tab are used for painting bandwidth bars on system tray. They don't affect your download/upload.

I still have the old Preferences file if you want me to try to recreate the Startup problem.

It would be nice if you could post that file here or send it to me or George.

Here it is, if there is some way to upload it to you or George, just let me know.

I have two questions related to a dead ktorrent:

1. My ktorrent has also started crashing on startup and its no longer useable. I've deleted the config file reported in the previous message, but that did not help. I have a backtrace:

I am using kubuntu edgy.

2. As a stopgap measure, I have moved my torrent data to another machine, and I'd like to start a new version of ktorrent there. Unfortunately, I have no torrent files to move over along with my data. Instead of saving the torrent files and opening them in ktorrent, I just clicked on them on the web sites and had ktorrent open them. Where has ktorrent saved them?

thanks.

bumping:

What version are you using ?

I am using KTorrent 2.0.3 on KDE 3.5.5 and Kubuntu 6.10.

Things seem to work better by abandoning 2.0.3 and moving to 2.1-rc1.

a new problem: i had successfully migrated to 2.10rc1 and things were working well enough. then i ran the script to install Peer Guardian. The script took quite a bit of time to execute, but it completed successfully.

Now I can't restart ktorrent. When I attempt to run ktorrent, the process appears to crash on startup. when starting the app there isn't much that happens visually to let the user know what is happening -- i only see a little bouncing icon when i attempt to start ktorrent, but the icon quickly disappears. there is otherwise no trace that ktorrent even attempted to load.

looking at the output of the top command, ktorrent continues to eat up clock time and memory, but nothing is happening at the user interface.

when i attempt to run ktorrent fromthe console window, i get the exact same error reported previously about input device 166.

I am using ktorrent 2,1-r1 on Kubuntu Edgy 6.10. any insights would be appreciated.

Here is the debug output from starting Ktorrent at the console window:
