prod Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 A while back some of my torrent files got erased and I'm slowly rebuilding them (fortunately utorrent saves the hash internally ). However, I noticed this behaviour. It's marking all the torrents that don't work as Completed. Expected behaviour would either be a separate "Error" category, or under inactive/all.

Firon Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Which build are you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prod Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 12323. Note that I blanked out the torrent names. It has always worked like this (not something that broke recently). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 They were completed.. then you made them error.Until such time as there are actual categories for things like Queued/Paused/Error it keeps the most recent event, not state. Think of an event as in the event=start/stop/completed sent to trackers, and the state of your torrent being what are you doing to it... pause/queue/error.BTW, additional categories have been requested before, with http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=353475#p353475 being the most-recent slightly-related.

prod Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Except they were never finished. I added the torrent, then the torrent got deleted before I even started the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 There is a parameter uTorrent marks when you complete a download. It was completed, sorry to tell you. You didn't skip all files at one time did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prod Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 To put it flatly, you're wrong. I have 1500+ torrents in that error state, and there is no way i started even 1% of them.EDIT: To confirm, just have some torrent files you haven't started at 0%. Delete the torrent file, close and restart utorrent and they'll show up in the completed list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 It's not so much that it's *errored* torrents that show up as completed. It's torrents that µTorrent can't find the .torrent file for. Simple test: get in the state you want using your procedure. Fair enough, it gets marked as Completed. Now place the .torrent file where µTorrent expects it to be and restart -- it's marked as Downloading still. I'm not sure which behavior is more correct, but there isn't really anything saying that all errored torrents are *incomplete* either (as opposed to complete). More generally, I think some edge cases (like torrent error states and associated behaviors around them) might be worth looking at. For example, it's odd that µTorrent assumes that any torrent that was once missing the .torrent file, and suddenly regains it, should be placed in first slot in the queue -- I'm not so sure that's wise (or wanted). In the end, the torrent remains in the errored state until you manually start it. Since that's the case, µTorrent might as well not remove the queue number for the torrent even if its .torrent file is missing. If µTorrent runs into it during the queue procession, just skip any errored torrents. That way, you won't have to deal with assuming a torrent is complete just because the .torrent file is missing (if it has a queue #, obviously, it isn't complete).

prod Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 As you say, it's a specific type of erroneous torrent that is showing up as complete. I would prefer they weren't mixed in with my completed list. If an "error" list isn't added, I'd prefer they weren't classified at all (they already show up in the "all" listing).
