Honeyfrog Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 In 1.7.5, the piece-to-be-sent marker for initial-seeding is resetting when uTorrent is closed. This means that, upon re-launching an incomplete torrent, I'll be re-sending pieces that hidden peers in the swarm already have -- and that could be gigs' worth.Please fix this post-haste. In fact, I'll take a 1.7.6 patch right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 It's not uTorrent's fault that users aren't sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeyfrog Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 What's that got to do with the bug?You could have a bug that eliminates the functionality of initial-seeding entirely, and make the exact same retort.--//--(Ten days later...)...Err, was this going to be fixed next version, or is it a permanent "new feature" now? :/ Just looking for confirmation.(Anecdote: A friend and I were dual initial-seeding a multi-gig torrent from scratch, with him doing the first half and me the last half. We arranged this by having him first appear, to me, as a peer with half the torrent, which caused my client's position marker to adjust forward to send mid-torrent pieces out to other peers. He then stopped, added the rest of the files, rechecked, and began initial-seeding from piece #0. Since he was a full seed, he stayed hidden from my client while I continued seeding from #5000+. I needed to restart my machine a bit later, while he had also had his client or computer temporarily turned off, and my client re-set to piece #0, causing me to waste a almost a day retreading a lot of the same turf before I noticed the problem. -- I don't know which version this reset bug manifest, but I know that older version didn't have it. Anecdote #2: Similar situation wherein I kick-start a torrent by regular-seeding at maximum UL to a "known friendly" peer who's marked the first file in the torrent high-priority; later, I restart my machine while he is absent, but before he's had time to fully retrade his accumulation to later-arriving peers...and end up retreading again.)
