placoboy Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (It used to work until today with other torrents, I havent changed anything, just the build - syntax of the TV episode has not changed)I checked the RSS favorite and history. There was a match and the torrent was detected properly.So I should have the torrent in my torrent diectory and start downloading but I just found out that the torrent was not there and of course the d/l didnt start.I am using the latest build (431)Is it something with this build?What's going on?Thanks ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoicJester Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 it may have had a timeout or something. right now µTorrent adds the torrent to the history before opening the file, so if there's an error and the torrent isn't actually downloaded, it's still in your history.edit: there is in the todo list, look here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 It makes sense, difficult to know it is what happened - it could be nice to have a retry parameter in case something goes wrong the first time :-)Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoicJester Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 actually there's been a request to report errors like that to the logger. it's in the thread i linked to, but farther down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 You can "vote" for those features over there... ludde will probably not put them into the next 1.5 release, since he aims at stabilizing the current beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoicJester Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 i was under the impression that once something was moved to the todo forum, it would eventually be fixed or added to µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGato Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yes, that one is a nasty bug as you end missing some releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I am about to go back to an older build, it did it again.The RSS history shows the torrent download but no torrent and ... no download ...I have never had any issues with this tracker so I really wonder if this is a problem since b431 (using 432 right now)Without logging, it is really hard to tell if it is the client or the trackerIs anyone experiencing the same problem ?

Firon Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 And if you try to get it manually on the Releases tab, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I cant .. it has gone beyond the list end which is what 15 items, so it doesnt show up in the releases but only in history ... I had to do it manually from the tracker web site :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to do it manually from the tracker web site :-(Yes, that one is a nasty bug as you end missing some releases. And if you try to get it manually on the Releases tab, what happens?I don't want to quote all the above, but it shows me that the bug I posted (in the todo list now) it critical for the RSS downloader to become more reliable. People will loose "confidence" in it The main points to improve here are:* logging of any errors (if any, optional )* Showing correct data in history/releases (flag torrents ONLY if really DLed, or else mark with a different flag ) * auto re-download. It will come automatically once the history will be cleared from those not loaded torrents (or at least mark accordingly also in istory), since it will re-try the next time* and maybe: enable to "open" also from historyAll this - is already in my post in the todo list. So "vote" there... And @Firon- you/ludde might want to reconsider fixing the logic here *before* the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well I have to say I am quite pleased with uTorrent but that single glitch will make me give it up - this would be too bad, especially since it has worked fine for until build 431 ...Your efforts are appreciated PS Nice summary AND suggestions Rafi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I suspect I had a pb of cookies. The torrent would be detected by the RSS reader but would not be able to actually download it becasue of a wrong cookie.This something I would make more obvious in the RSS FAQ.

rafi Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Isn't it explained under the title 'Using feeds that require cookies" in the tutorial ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placoboy Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Well yeah :)But it did work in the past (my cookie setting WAS set up properly ..) and it is not that obvious. You have to think about it, that the cookie can change, and then verify.In addition, to be constructive, that side of uTorrent, logging RSS stuff is missing so ...- it would help improving RSS logging - remind with a sticky the cookie can change and has to be updated ...Anyway thanks for the feedback.

rafi Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thank YOU. And feel free to add your comments in the todo thread here (I'm collecting votes...). You can also write a paragraph on cookies, and email it to Firon, to add to the tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAStheLoD Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hello,I've got a similar problem. I've set up a filter (for the series 24..) and today when i switched on my computer (µTorrent is in auto start) it started downloading the ep. 5x11 ... but in the same feed there was ep. 5x12 too! And it showed up in the history, and when I clicked "?" uTorrent said, that 5x12 was opened aswell. But that's simply not true.. when I got home from school I'd to add it manually.My filter is "24*" and HDTV,PDTV,DSRip,TVRipHope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 My feed picked up and downloaded both... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 @PAStheLoD: make sure you have set "match always" for minimum inteval. It can be some problem with the feed timing out at that time ( ~an hour later...).My feed also picked them both up (EZTV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAStheLoD Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 First, I've suspected that setting, but it's on always match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
