Hi Everyone. First off i just want to say I like Ktorrent its awesome. I've had some problems with crashes in the past and was able to fix them. The problem I'm having now is that Ktorrent seems to cleanly shut its self down automatically. I can not find any crash events/logs that I am able to spot. I currently running Suse 10.2, I've turned off all power saving options including screen saver. If anyone can help me find a log to post for review that would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Version ?

Version 2.21 running on
Suse 10.2 x64 os
2 gigs of ram

I'm not sure what to look for to even find out why this would happen. If there is a log/place to find errors for this I would post them for you. Any help is and would be greatly appriciated.

You could try running it under gdb :

gdb `which ktorrent`
run --nofork

Let it run until it disappears, then in gdb type :
bt

And post the output here

it was running well for a couple of days without error, then I added some downloads and it happened again. here is the output of the terminal screen:
(gdb) run --nofork
Starting program: /opt/kde3/bin/ktorrent --nofork

This bug is already fixed, if you don't need the zeroconf plugin, unload.

Make sure that the capacity of the home partition on your Hard Disk is not being exceeded, if it has then after few minutes Ktorrent will shut down, when partitioning your Hard Disk, make sure you allocate the maximum possible space for the home partition.
The only Linux distro that can handle this problem is OpenSuse, it will not allow further downloading or will issue warning that what you are going to down load exceed that capacity of the partition.
The best option is to reinstall, than do bug fixing.My solution was to use a USB disk, with 250 GB, and down load to it. But there is problem, you need to get the older type USB enclosure, as the latest chip on these USBs only reads, doesn't write, that is, you can copy and past to linux but not other way round.
Another way is to create a folder on the DESKTOP, just give it a name like DOWNLOADS etc, then go to Ktorrent setup, click on General then tick the check box, that say: "AUTOMATICALLY save Downloads to:" Brows , pick the desktop, then the folder created, and everything will go there, you can then right click on the folde, click properties, and it will show the available space for downloading, but you have to do this when you first installed the Ktorrent, otherwise the information wont indicated the true amount of downloads that are on the home partition, as some of it has gone into the Ktorrent's default folder. As well, in the setup, Click downloads, and on the forth line from top, start downloads on low diskspace, make sure you pick Don't start.
We tested this on PClinxOS, Fedora, MEPIS and Suse, using a 20GB Hard Disk, after the capacity was exceeded, the first two, did exactly what is mentioned in first post here, but the MEPIS one just went berserk, it no longer accepted the name and pass word among other unpredictable somersaults. Suse managed to prevent excess down loading. and issued warning messages.
