Queue manager problem...

Sat Mar 10, 2007 10:40 pm
I have Ktorrent version 2.1.?? installed on Mandriva 2007.0 PP from official update rpm.

It was recently installed. It works great, but queue manager seems not working correctly.

More exactly I set "Maximum downloads: 2" in the ktorrent settings for queue manager. I have a list of 10 downloads. 2 downloading and 8 in "queued" state. After download #1 is finished the first "queued" should start. It doesn't. After download #2 is finished I observe 8 queued downloads and none of them started. Opening the queue manager and then closing it results in starting the first 2 downloads form the queue. The rest 6 maintains the queued state - OK.

Am I missing an option somewhere, or it is a BUG ?

PS: I don't know the exact version of Ktorrent. The ktorrnet -v command returns version 2.1

This should be an expected behavior. I'm wondering why it doesn't start?!
I'll need a way to reproduce this behavior....

Are you familiar with using GDB?

No, I know nothing about GDB, but I saw that ktorrent has a --debug option. I can make some tests and post the debug output if it helps. Or, you could direct me to some webpage to read about GDB becouse I have not a clue what it is :roll:

Well, it's really weird.

There's a single function which causes queue to get ordered and needed torrents started/stopped. This function is called each time you click OK in QueueDialog and each time torrent is finished, stopped, removed etc...
You're experiencing the correct behavior when you open QueueDialog and then close it (click ok) so the function is working correctly, but the problem is that somehow it doesn't get called when your torrents finish downloading.

I really don't know why... Simple debugging would probably help but I'm not to good at explaining how you can do it...

Could you try to completely remove KTorrent from your system and then do a full reinstall, if possible - try to compile from source?

I'll try some reinstalls. Right now I'm busy with other things, but in a few days I'll be back...

Hai! I'm experiencing this exact problem. I'm running KT 2.1.4 with KDE 3.5.6 on FreeBSD (compiled from source).

BigJim could you try the latest SVN version or 2.2beta1?

Hi. The "BigJim" post was mine, but not from my account, so apologies for that.

I tried the FreeBSD "ktorrent-devel" port which KT tells me is version 2.2dev. The source tarball is dated 20070311. This version is still showing the same queue manager behaviour for me.

I've made some changes recently, could you try some newer SVN version - the latest would be best.

Hello again. I've tried a couple of versions from svn (including the latest) but they both fail to compile on FreeBSD (in a similar fashion). I'm guessing that the FreeBSD ports make some modifications or pass in FreeBSD-specific options to configure or make that I'll have to replicate. I'll have a poke around this weekend and see I I can't get it to compile.
