krutok Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I recently changed a big bunch of files from [Force Start] to [start] and correctly some of the files with high enough seed ratio started to go into [Finished]. They did so in groups, but after about a minute all the torrents that would change had changed.Some torrents with enough ratio, however, still stayed in [start] even though they technically should go into [Finished], since that is the behavior I have always observed. I have checked so that no specific per-torrent settings are in effect.I suspect that it MIGHT be that they will change state if someone starts downloading the files, since it is very well possible that nobody has tried to download them at all. This would even be an explanation making it a feature and not a bug, although a pretty useless feature But once again, it could be suspected that actual uploading of a seeded file fires some event that checks if the state transition should take place.

thelittlefire Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 What do you mean "technically should go Finished"? What are your Queue Settings? With no per-torrent settings, it goes by default. Are the torrents past matching the default 1.5 ratio and 90 minute seed times? You can tell this at-a-glance by seeing if # column has * or not.Next time, unless you're sure about what's happening I'd recommend not using Found Bugs... especially on something mundane.

krutok Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 It does not have a *, i.e. it should not be "seeding". It should go to finished, as did the rest of the finished torrents. It has gone past any relevant default marks (1.02 ratio, 0 minutes), and there is no per-torrent settings. The lack of a * confirms this of course.As I also stated it is in "Seeding" mode, but I have not seen anyone actually download from that specific torrent, and that MIGHT be the reason it hasn't/didn't change.

thelittlefire Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Your queue settings are 102%? and you set limit to 0 when stopped? What are your queue settings.... please answer this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krutok Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Max active: 20Max downloads: 20EDIT: Yes 102% and 0 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Well it works OK here :/ General tab would have been more use than Peers. Next time, use Alt-PrntScr Then you won't have to censor your desktop/taskbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krutok Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 It pretty much always works and has worked ok here too... and it also seems that people have been downloading the file intermittently. So whatever the "problem" is, to find it, one would have to see the governing source code and find the possibility of this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 If you can't find a way for it to NOT detect 102%, there's no bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krutok Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Am I talking to a wall, or perhaps an egg? See above posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Apologies, if you can't find a way to REPRODUCE it not detecting 102% Edit:The fact that you saw immediate success when re-enlisting the queue, means you caused certain effects through some specific set of actions which for (an unknown reason?) is not 100% true. See http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=47907 for a similar case of a "bug" but which does not have rhyme or reason. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I just reproduced the same bug here. It instantly stops once a peer connects, though. But if there are none, it stays "started", even though it should be stopped anyway.Edit: hmm. I can't actually reproduce this consistently, even on the same torrents. But the bug does seem to exist.
