Torrent completed... no it isnt'!

Post by Seoulite »

Hi,

Deluge 0.5.5 / Ubuntu 7.04

Twice today something odd has happened. I've exited Deluge (once when my PC crashed, the second time via File | Quit) and, on restarting later have discovered that several torrents which had finished downloading earlier have gone back to 80-90% and downloaded the last few MB all over again.

I'm a bit of a n00b, but I assume it's got something to do with the contents of $HOME/.config/deluge/torrentfiles However, I have no idea what!

This is obviously pretty frustrating with torrents with few or unreliable seeders.

Any help would be much appreciated - is this a bug?

Thanks!

Thanks. Being a n00b who just had to Google 'svn', can I check that I understand you correctly? The bug has already been spotted and fixed in the development version, which is stored in the Subversion version control system. Thus this will be fixed in the next release. Is that right?

Thanks again.

I had a look, but it says not for the 'light of heart' and that's me! I'll wait for the next official update instead, unless the bug starts to hit me all the time.
