Webseed works with filenames not correctly

[alex73]

I created torrent-file with webseed. Webseed's address just an URL of my server, which redirects to the real file storage.

For example, webseed is ​http://alex73.../file1, which redirects to ​http://storage/zzz2 with 302 code.

Transmission downloads this file again and again and never stopped. Seems to problem with filename after redirection, because if I use the same name for redirected file, it transferred good.

Torrent file which never stopped

[cfpp2p]

!!! Confirmed !!!

also continues downloading even when torrent is STOPPED

downloading shows speed higher than maximum bandwidth???

.

continues downloading even when torrent is manually VERIFIED

downloading shows speed higher than maximum bandwidth

shortly thereafter transmission CRASHES...

cfpp2p, regarding the crash, can you get a crash report so that the development team can see what was happening when the crash occurred?

[alex73]

I didn't see any crashes. May be there are some records in log ? Where can I find transmission's log on MacOS ?

[livings124]

In Console.app, Show Log List and find at the Transmission crash log in there.

[alex73]

Thanks, livings124. I found only old crash log(not corresponded with this bug).

So, there are no any crash reports and nothing interesting in system.og for this bug in my box.

oops... I see that crash was not transmission but memory and virtual memory (swap) problem as below:

(and thttpd sever issue?)

never has transmission caused this for me otherwise.

I recreate torrent so no redirection (used redirected address directly) and still same result, so seems to be nothing to do with redirection. try these torrents...

also from direct http: ubuntuone.com/15o0mrBxlts12zbUo303gC

firefox downloads file: t1

ie explore downloads file: 15o0mrBxlts12zbUo303gC

wget from my linux box: 15o0mrBxlts12zbUo303gC

so what goes I don't know...

[alex73]

Yes, seems to the same issue when webseed contains link to some http file with other name name. For example, file can be named as "linux.iso", but webseed can be linked to "​http://myserver/linux-1.01.iso". It will produce the same issue.

[cfpp2p]

fixed in r13112

t1.torrent now stops OK and/or will download 100%

note pause/stop of webseed torrent can be slow as it seems a wait until each currently incomplete block is complete before so. This is also related to #1079

[alex73]

Hi, guys !

Thank you very much for fix it. Could you check also ​http://alex73.byethost14.com/tr/Ubuntu-11.04.torrent with 2.50 version(I didn't find nightly builds of transmission) ? It contains directory+redirecting.

WBR, Alex.

this downloaded a couple of 700 MB .iso from webseed only. worked like a charm. No problems whatsoever.

Transmission 2.42+ (13112)

alt-mac64.iso

desk-mac64.iso

Alex...

ALSO:

note that pause/stop of webseed torrent can be slow as it seems a wait until each currently incomplete block is complete before so. This is also related to #1079. The bigger the piece size the longer it may take, especially if there are a few incomplete pieces at once.

if you look at inspector

Ubuntu-11.04
Activity
Have:
1.34 GB of 1.35 GB (99.3%), 1.57 MB Unverified

when the Unverified reaches 0 pause/stop will occur, this can take a few minutes as there could be a few pieces yet to complete (4 MB pieces for this Ubuntu-11.04.torrent)

[cfpp2p]

Great job by the transmission developers! Tested with three levels deep redirection AND link to final file name not the same as what to download, worked perfectly. This is something some other clients can not do.

Bandwidth among concurrent torrents is shaped properly (although issue #1079 will still affect those webseeding), other clients somewhat lax on bandwidth limiting anyways.

so.... transmissionbt !!!!!!!!!!!!
