quickest way to shutdown a session

Gil Hirsch — 2008-11-29T18:09:56

currently we're running something like this: for (int i = 0; i < index; i++) removeTorrent(deleteList[i], true); if (enableDHT) saveDHTState(); where removeTorrent also saves its fastresume data. it appears that this can take quite a bit of time (~10-20 seconds), and was wandering if there's a quicker (but still clean) way to shut libtorrent sessions. thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Problem creating a torrent.

Ibai — 2008-11-28T16:14:12

Hi folks, I made a little client using libtorrent 0.14 and boost 1.35. But whin I generate a torrent file, y afterwards change the file name, renaming it to the info_hash() got by the torrent_info. But when I inicialize the torrent info, it crashes. Here is a piece of code, where it crashes: std::cerr << "...torrent creado..."; if(boost::filesystem::exists(p)) std::cerr << "\nexiste\n"; else std::cerr << "\n NO existe\n"; //libtorrent::torrent_info *ti = new libtorrent::torrent_info(p); libtorrent::torrent_info ti(p); But then, I get this output: ...torrent creado... existe *** glibc detected *** /root/suite/proba/cliente_torrent: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x000000000067e310 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0x7ffb4c05aaad] /lib/libc.so.6[0x7ffb4c05cd3

Qt compilation

rolf ngondo — 2008-11-26T18:05:25

Hi all! Intending to run my libtorrent based app on a MacOS, my company choosed Qt to build the project (the app has a GUI). To try building the app with Qt, I didn't work on MacOS yet. I am on my windows XP PC on which I build my libtorrent based app whic works fine. I built a simple Qt Mainwindow app. I built it fine. Then I added the libtorrent package, and there the build fails. I made what is supposed to be done when including external library but it doesn't work. So if anyone has an idea on building libtorrent with Qt, I need your help. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

BitTorrent Protocol

I know it is a little offtopic, but maybe you can help me. Anyone know where I can find the details of the whole BitTorrent protocol? Cause on the BitTorrent site I didn't find anything. The only site I know is http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification but don't know if t is enough.

Linking Problems

Pete Collins — 2008-11-19T18:01:23

Hi, I'm developing a client statically linking to libtorrent and on Mac I keep getting linking errors. I am able to get this to successfully link on win32 ... /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: boost::system::get_system_category() boost::system::get_generic_category() collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I have tried compiling my libtorrent many different ways ... My most recent attempt was adding the defines "CXXFLAGS=-DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_STATIC_LINK=1". I am using configure to build since building libtorrent w/ bjam fails on OSX for me ... I tried using boost libs 1.36 and am now using 1.37 and always get this error. In the past the only way I could get it to work was by dynamically linking to boost-system and statically linking to the rest. I need my lib to statically link to libtorrent and the all required boost libs ... Any ideas to resolve? Much appreciated. I can also get dynamic linking working just not static. Thanks --pete

Mainline put() and get() interfaces

Vjekoslav Brajkovic — 2008-11-16T23:12:35

Dear libtorrent developers, My name is Vjekoslav, and I am one of the people working on Adeona Projects (http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/) here at University of Washington. Adeona is a device tracking software that utilizes DHT as storage component. Current implementation relays upon OpenDHT, however we are experiencing all sorts of issues with it and are considering other alternatives. As far as my understanding goes, there are only two implementations written in C/C++ that interact with either Mainline or Vuze DHT. Namely those are libtorrent-rasterbar and libtorrent-rtorrent. Since your version of libttorent library uses Boost, we are *very* interested in using it as gateway to interact with Mainline. Nonetheless, looking at your code I was not able to find any references to put()/get() API calls. So my question is: a) Does libtorrent provide storage interface (put/get) for accessing Mainline DHT. b) In the case it does not, how much code modification would it involve in order make it suite our needs.

Files stuck at hashing (waiting)

Michael Schneider — 2008-11-14T09:21:42

Hi again, I have another problem with v0.14 of libtorrent. Sometimes - I don't know under which circumstances because I don't do anything special - the torrents I added will be stuck at status Hashing (waiting) - one or two might hash fine but then the process seems to stop. If I stop and resume them then they will actually receive peers but they won't be added to download and the files won't download/upload. I noticed that after merging the change Arvid suggested here: http://code.rasterbar.com/libtorrent/changeset/2920 so it could be related but that's only a guess... v0.14 also stops some of my downloads sometimes due to a "filesystem limitation" (message is German, I translated it) though there is no real reason (Vista, NTFS, 4GB downloads - should work fine and did under v0.13.1) and no more information.

Sessions and torrents

Sephiroth — 2008-11-12T21:24:31

Hello I have some doubts about the functioning of the a session. I understood that a session can have many torrent added, so (if a torrent contain a single file) I can download more file at the same time. But how can I check the torrent_info and torrent_status of the different files? I ahve to declare a new one for every torrent I add? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Piece Priority and Progress

Sephiroth — 2008-11-12T11:49:48

Hello I have one simple question. I set to 0 the priority of all my pieces but the (i.e.) first ten (whose priority is set to 1). In this case, the value of torrent_status.progress is the downloading percentual relative to the whole file or just to the little part formed by the pieces with priority set to 1?

web peer slow/choked on RC0.14

Gil Hirsch — 2008-11-09T23:27:12

I've recently moved to RC0.14, and it seems that downloads with HTTP peers are now slowed down compared to latest RC0.13. Some more info: I'm testing against a torrent with a single http source/seed. On RC0.13 it would download at maximum speed supported by the HTTP server, while on RC0.14 it will prevent it from going beyond ~250kb/sec, and will jump up and down between that upper limit and a lower 102kb/sec. it looks like it's being choked, although no limit has been set. any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/

Problems with boost != 1.34

Michael Schneider — 2008-11-06T08:48:45

Hello again! I am building a static lib of libtorrent and using it in my app under windows (vista, ultimate, x86). This worked fine with v0.13.1 and the Boost libraries v1.34.1... however, after upgrading to libtorrent v0.14 I experienced a non-traceable crash some seconds after creating a session (no stack trace, memory address 0000000) so I decided to upgrade to Boost v1.36 which I thought might fix the issue. After compiling my library the linking process of my application fails with a lot of "already defined" errors (already define in libcpmt.lib or msvcrtp lib) - I tried to exclude the mentioned libs from the link process but then there are other errors (symbol/function not defined). I am German and translating the messages so they may be inaccurate but you hopefully understand them anyways. Well, now I dunno what to do except to downgrade again which I don't want to do because of the new features and fixes in v0.14. Did anyone succeed to build the new version under Windows? Best regards, Michael --
