transfer speeds dropping to 0

Description

using the nightly 1.11+ (5520) [happens with all versions back to 0.9], every time T makes a scheduled announce to the tracker, all torrent transfer rates drop to 0 until the announce has 'finished' ie... when starting a new torrent.

this doesnt seem to happen when using the manual 'update tracker' button...

  • Milestone changed from 1.12 to None Set

don't set milestones unless you plan to submit a fix

I can't reproduce this. Methods I tried:

  • adding a new torrent
  • pausing + restarting a torrent
  • watching the inspector's "tracker" tab and observing scheduled reannounce

I need more information on how to reproduce this before I can investigate it more. I'd close this as "needinfo" if trac had that option, but the closest match is "invalid"

maybe its system dependent? It is definitely still happening on my system; 1GHz G4 iBook

a little more info: if you start/restart a torrent which hasn't previously had an announce during the current session it occurs. if the torrent has already had an announce, the error doesn't occur as exaggerated (ie speeds will drop, but not to zero)?

I haven't seen this behavior. However working from the theory that we're somehow overloading the router by sending out a scrape for too many torrents too close to one another, I've increased the randomization interval from 60 seconds to 120 seconds in svn trunk. Give that a try and see if it makes any difference.

this still seems to happen in the latest nightly: r5718

the bug is more pronounced on PirateBay? torrent files

I *still* can't duplicate this. :(

I don't want this ticket to lie around in limbo forever, so I'm closing it for now. Please reopen this ticket if the behavior persists in the pre-1.40 nightly builds.
