Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

HI,

Thanks for that version, look good, since quite all linux pc run now on 64 bits OS, it will be great to have the x86 64 build but that's a good start at all.

I waiting the GUI and to can test the native 64 bits.

Thanks for all great work

Best Regards

Stars

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

I am encountering the following error when I run the program:

utserver: 1:ELF4Àt: not found
utserver: 2: 4: not found
utserver: 7: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string

Is it because I am 64 bit?

You need to include a colon between the setting name and its value.

Yes. You need to have 32-bit compatibility installed for this to work. Many distros do not come with it installed anymore.

i'm gonna be testing that after this download completes.

Also, if i change stuff in the webui, and then ctrl+c the process all of the changed settings seem to be gone when i start it again.

Linux client version will be proprietary? Or will be distributed under a license GPL\BSD?

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

first of all, many thanks for this great alpha release ! it's just awesome !
secondly, is there a list of bugs already known that would be fixed ?
and the last question, is there any schedule or roadmap for a stable version ?

thanks again ! great work, guys !

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

issues that i have noticed:

• config file does not seem to load, even if i put errors in it the webinterface always launches with zero settings. (webui port seems to stick though (which i set when i launched the webui earlier)).
• torrent > files list is there, but the % on the files is wrong (example torrent with one file, completed 100% but in files it says 94.2% done)
•  "4 of 210 connected (¿? in swarm)" wtf

othervise perfect, but yes well i need the settings to work for me to be able to use it properly...

Mostly everything appears to work great! Awesome job guys. The only issue that I have is the alternative listening port, it will not stay and if there is an error and the utserver closes I have to change the port from 8080 to my port.

@havox: You have to set that in utserver.conf if you want it to stay and you can ignore the checkbox.

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

I had luck running this version on Ubuntu 10.10 Beta x64, with no CPU load issues.

This is how i did it:
1. Extracted the .tar.gz file from http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux
2. Updated ia32-libs in Synaptics Package Manager.
3. Dubble-clicked the extracted ut-server file
4. Opened my web-browser and typed in http://192.168.0.2:8080/gui/
5. When asked for username/password, typed in admin/(blank)

µTorrent is running natively in Ubuntu 10.10 Beta x64.

Enjoy.

thx for making it!!

It's working really well. I love the web ui, I have never used it before.

Would this be able to run under Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS i386?

It's likely to be OK.  I'm running Ubuntu desktop 10.04 LTS i386 on two workstations I use to develop and test the product.  Nightly builds (including the ones released) are built and tested on an Ubuntu 9.10 image.

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

works so far great on a 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu x86_64 (i32 libs installed of course).
Excellent with memory usage, 46564 on my top, while 551M my qbittorrent with same torrents open.

web ui works great with chromium browser 5.0.375.127~r55887-0ubuntu0.10.04.1             

One request thoug. Can we have an option to change directories for torrents? Since I am migrating to utorrent server, I would like to have an option to seed old torrents that don't reside in the default directory listed in the settings.
Now I have to create symlinks

Apart from that, seem like a great job.
Cheers!

The functionality to choose directories exists in the API, but the WebUI hasn't quite been updated to use it.

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

Good day.
I would like to describe a small problem I had with the μtorrent server. Ok the reason it broke was... I.
I have a remotely mounted filesystem, where i had few ISOs that I needed to seed.
I soft linked the ISOs to the 'default' download path of μtorrent, and started the server.
After a couple of days I 'lost' the mount point due to a hardware problem.
I managed to unmount the partitions, and I stopped the torrents from μtorrent server. The problem was trying to shutdown the server (utserver). I pgrep'ed the process name, pkilled it, killed -9, killed his parent, tried sigdev and coredump, but I couldn't really kill the processes. I even tried to unlink the proc from the proc table. I wanted to kill it, as when I tried to run it again it wouldn't bind on the netport for the gui. (and probably wouldn't upload/download either)
I am not bitching or anything, after all its an alpha build and it runs under my responsibility, but I really had to reboot my workstation (and thus been mocked by all my windows users friends).
I didn't keep any 'logs' or strace/lsof logs as it was rather late, and I my choice was bed and not logs.
I promise next time I will be more thorough logging all the events, and traces, but I am not sure if you can/or have seen this behavior (staying alive as zombie till the end of times).
Now I am running it from within a screen, so if I run through the same issue, I have more options of loging and killing it.

I wrote this experience as its a discussion forum, and I am really happy to see the developers to actually post replies
So far I am really happy with the application, I see it running now straight for 3 days with total memory usage (shared and resisdent  at 517156 K) which really puts a smile on my face

great job once again,

I have a remotely mounted filesystem, where i had few ISOs that I needed to seed.

Thanks for the report.  I've been building the server product on a stable code line branch, but one that is a few months behind the code line trunk.  A couple of days ago, there was a point at which the frequently-unstable development trunk was stable (according to results of automated unit and system testing), so I created another branch from it.  The new branch should have better handling of unavailable mounts (as long as the OS recognizes the mounts are unavailable).  I expect to be releasing from that new branch pretty soon since it has been testing consistently well, although I'll first conduct a week-long stress test to see how the server built from the new branch performs under heavy load.

What were the memory usages you were seeing with other products (if any) under the same conditions?

Re: µTorrent Server 3.0 alpha build 27079 (for Linux) - x86

issue: unable to change priority on files within a torrent.

chrome canary (latest): FAIL (Google Chrome 7.0.524.0 (Official Build 59341) canary build)
chrome: WORKS (Google Chrome 6.0.472.59 (Official Build 59126))
firefox 3.6: WORKS

you might be using some feature in a wrong way, youtube had the same problem a few days ago where they were using some feature in a wrong way causing it not to work.

Bug: utserver don't work with non-latin path. if i try to run utserver from folder with cyrillic name - config & other files appears in upper-level folder. Also if i set "download dir" to cyrillic folder - downloads saves to utserver dir.
