"Announce Updating..." when a private network goes down

[saggy00]

I have read about this bug report, however i have found what happens. Fisrt of all im talking about transmission-daemon 2.12 on ubuntu 10.10 i386

I have a lot of torrents (100+) that are "connected" with a private network(its not connected to the internet). For some reasons this network goes down and suddenly transmission tries to re-announce a huge ammount of torrents but with no luck. This affects the other torrents (internet trackers) and the daemon stucks for ever(even when i load a new torrent).

If i remove(not remove and delete) the torrents, restart the deamon and load ONLY the internet torrents, everything works fine.But when i load the torrents of the private network that is down, same thing happens again. When the private network is up, all works FINE.

Is there an easy way for a developer who doesn't have a private network to test this behavior?

Is this still an issue in 2.30 beta 4?

The announce code has gone through a lot of reworking in 2.2x and the 2.30 betas.

Yes jordan the problem still exists in version 2.22(which im currently using). Im waiting for you to release the 3.30 stable version. Please let me know if you want to help you with something.

...it would be better to fix this *before* 2.30 rather than after. Why not try the beta?

From my experience the problem is that when you stop a torrent it tries to find the tracker in order to add the traffic data. If i configure the init script and add the "--paused" parameter and restart the daemon, then if i activate only the internet torrents it works fine. But the rest(from private network) torrents needs no to start at all. I beleive i helped you. Give me some time to compile the daemon.

Ohh and something irrelevant. Why dont you guys create a tracker in c++ because the php are a bit slow.It would be great because the xbtt is not a very active project. You could add udp support, compact mode, ipv6 and stuff.

Same on the 3.30b4. I hope you fix it. Email me if you want anything
