#1400 closed Enhancement (fixed)

tracker warnings confuse the queue

Reported by: jh Owned by: charles
Priority: Normal Milestone: 1.74
Component: Mac Client Version: 1.34

Description

If a tracker doesn't respond libtransmision set the http code to 0. This is an error state and that will make transmission to mark the torrent as inactive internally.

But if this torrent is an active torrent and there are connected peers, the torrent will continue to seed and download.

The problem is that since the torrent is marked inactive a new torrent from the queue will be activated and transmission is now over the legal limit of active torrents.

  • Component changed from Transmission to libtransmission
  • Owner set to charles
  • Type changed from Bug to Enhancement

I think the only way to fix this, especially in regards to the queue, is to differentiate "fatal" errors and warnings.

  • Milestone changed from None Set to 1.41
  • Status changed from new to assigned
  • Version changed from 1.34+ to 1.34

IMO this change is too low-level to put in as a last-minute before 1.40.

Note that the "inactive" part of this in the OP's message is not covered in the patch, since that's part of the mac client's code.
