uTorrent 2.0 in wine, multiple issues

[mamruoc]

Hello,

I have got som error when upgrading to utorrent 2.0:

* auto-load not working, it only auto-load upon startup

* I get not valid file when uploading files using WebUI

* not possible to change properties of all files in a label (select label).

Anyone have any suggestion?

What wine version are you using?

* I get not valid file when uploading files using WebUI

Confirmed wine bug.

[mamruoc]

That forced to use WebDav and auto-load, which ended up not working.

You still haven't answered me about what wine version.

The wine bugtracker entry for the bug

Sorry, didn't see the posting over the qoute.

user@torrent:~$ wine --version

wine-1.1.38

user@torrent:~$ dpkg -l | grep wine

ii wine1.2 1.1.38-0ubuntu1 Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Libra

ii wine1.2-gecko 1.0.0-0ubuntu3 Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Web Browser)

You answer a lot better than most. For that I salute you. Most of the time we just get "Latest version" or "Newest from repositories," both of which usually mean 1.0.1 (which is older than dirt now).

Autoloading from a folder while uTorrent is running relies partly on the underlying filesystem relaying what amounts to a "File has arrived" message long (last I checked).

How long after placing the file in the autoload folder are you waiting before you declare it not working?

Oki, maybe this is a multiple samba mount/webdav problem?

I have a kvm instance with webdav, rw mount of a specific share, which another kvm instance (torrent) also mounts for picking up the upload. Maybe samba is not sending the correct notice to the file system.

user@torrent:/mnt/downloads/torrents/new$ ls -l

total 17

-rwxr----- 1 user user 15632 2010-02-08 10:58 XXX.torrent

user@torrent:/mnt/downloads/torrents/new$ date

I tried to touch, then sync:

user@torrent:/mnt/downloads/torrents/new$ ls -l

total 17

-rwxr----- 1 user user 15632 2010-02-08 12:38 XXX.torrent

user@torrent:/mnt/downloads/torrents/new$ date

Nothing happens...

Maybe samba is not sending the correct notice to the file system.

This is actually a problem on windows as well. Network shares in general don't work well for autoload folders, regardless of windows vs linux.

Have you tried with a local location instead of a samba mount?

[mamruoc]

Test in progress... :-)

Oki,

creating a local folder for auto-load an a cron job for moving torrents to it solved the problem.

Samba mounts seems to be the problem.

So, the remaining problem is probably WebUI implemantion feature request?

[Greg Hazel]

Out of curiosity, does the Samba mount have write permissions for the .torrent files?

[mamruoc]

Yes, full rewrite access, this to make is possible to delete the file after auto-loading and makes it easier for me know that uTorrent has loaded the file. WebUI doesn't have 100% good log out in the interface.
