Something wrong with file priorities

[spry]

Seems that something is wrong with file priorities. Situation: Torrent with 6 files of 350megs each. 20 full seeds and 5 leechers, one of them is me. 1 file is High, 1 file is Normal, others are Low. And first, one of low downloaded first, and High and Normal somewhere in the middle. Can you check that? For some reason, these priorities are not very reliable, 50%/50% it works.

Oh, version r7025

spry: was the low file that got downloaded first adjacent to one of the high-priority files?

[spry]

Order of files in torrent with priorities: #1 file-3 low #2 file-4 low #3 file-5 low #4 file-6 low #5 file-1 high #6 file-2 normal

If thats what you mean, due to I had to look in vocabulary to find out what "adjacent" means :)

And which of those were the ones that actually downloaded?

[livings124]

nvm, just realized those numbers at the order

[spry]

"#4 file-6 low" arrived first

[spry]

file-6 means like some_archive.part6

[charles]

so, the low-priority file that started downloading first is adjacent to a high-priority file. It's counterintuitive, but IMO there's nothing wrong with that... when you set a file to a high priority, all its BitTorrent? pieces become high priority, even if those pieces are shared by adjacent low-priority files.

Piece Size: 4194304 or otherwize ~4Mb, so I don't think that those 2 files have a lot of shared pieces..

Spry: is this still an issue in 1.41b2?

Without any more feedback or other users reporting this, I'm going to assume either it was a non-issue or fixed in r7242.
