Deluge fails to get 100%

Post by mintz »

Hi.

I recently upgraded to the 1.2.1 build of Deluge with libtorrent and Deluge built from source on Ubuntu 8.04. I am trying to download a torrent which contains 62 files and is nearly 50gb in size but I am unable to get any single file (except a text file of a few kilobytes) to retrieve 100%. Everything gets to 99.xx% and then stops. There are enough seeders for this to not be a problem with the swarm. If I do a re-check only about 25-50% of each file passes the check. This seems to be a problem with Deluge because in frustration I went back to using Transmission and was able to get the files 100%. It seems to be that the files are not getting properly downloaded rather than a full download not being reported because when I compared the binary files (at 99.xx%) with completed files downloaded using Transmission there were differences in the files. I can pm someone with details of the the torrent which is causing the problem if required.

Regards

There is definitely a problem here.

With the torrent mentioned in the previous post I had to use Transmission in the end. I'm now experiencing the same problem with another torrent. There are one or two details that I left off my previous post that might help track down what the problem is.

Both torrents are big (50gb+). In both cases I didn't want to download all of the files at once because I don't have enough remaining disk space. In the current case I selected to download just one of the files and it has been stuck for 18 hours on 95.66%. There are five seeders.

I have been able to download other torrents without a problem but I have two similar torrents where I am getting the same problem.

Okay I left this running for another 24 hours and it picked up only about 3% more of the file ~98.65%. I then deleted the torrent (but not the data) and re-added the same torrent. The check detected about 98%, and then quickly downloaded and completed the file.

So, deleting the torrent and re-adding fixed the problem.
