deluge crash on windows

[markybob]

I have tried 6 other types of apps like yours . Deluge is hands down the best , fastest downloading , fastest seeding , easiest to configure , and all around user friendly . No bloated b.s. just what you need , no more no less .
So i am very sad to inform you that your reportcard says "does not play well with Windows"
i have tried every combination of settings , tweaks , isolation , running only by it self , no plugins no PG2 , no anti-virus ,
i even made my wife leave the room just incase.....
but no luck .
if crashes were money i would be rich , and now i have to let my wife back in....

we know....we're still very much a linux client. i've been working very hard on stabilizing on windows, though, and i'm making great progress. i believe that we'll soon be able to offer a stable windows client

deluge is a very potential bt client and looking fwd for a stable win ver... thks to you markybob for the bt client.

Just to report in I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium, yes it is a horrible OS, but on the bright side Deluge seems to run relatively normal with no crashes! Granted there are a few slight quirks but that can be said of any program running on vista. Oh, and it isn't running in compatibility mode or administrator mode.

The latest versions of Deluge are way superior that the first versions that I've tried. The first versions contained tons of bugs.. some causing crashes and some just visual bugs. Now the problems are very few but the client still crashes! I want to get rid of utorrent, bitcomet and azureus.. although I'm using them from time to time.. if I load ~30-40 torrents to azureus it eats from my system ~120mb or ram!! fck

Anyway I have set up the half-limit connections to 50 but I already patched my windows.. so it should work fine, I've disable DHT and all others are enabled.


P.S. Especially annoying is when is crashes.. after that it checks all the files ..and it's Slow.. dead slow on that part(don't know why utorrent is very but very fast on that part.. to check the files even if there are lots of gb, for deluge if I see a torrent e.g. 3gb I say f*ck and propably remove it because the others just wait for their turn)

[Ah, finally here "Windows XP SP2" I'll never move to the power-Hungry Vista..unless all new applications wont run on XP..which I think it will be the next step of M$ (as they did with Win98 not many years ago) - Power isn't an issue I'm sitting on AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (2.6GHz overclocked at 3.00GHz with water) and 2GB of ram]

Just now I've got.. hmm 5-6 crashes grrr, although it's the fastest bt client I've ever tried behind nat, it needs lots of efforts to become rock-solid stable at least to a point as their competitors

I know its a linux client but I guess there are some issues there too(maybe not so many, but nothing is perfect) - Keep doing what you do, if you make it stable enough you'll be a big threat to the other clients


P.S. Until now I realise if you have one torrent the deluge is very much rock-solid, try running 30 torrents at once.. it's solid like water in your hand I use deluge first of all because it's open source and secondly because it's fast, my second choice is utorrent but when they sold out their program to bit torrent company.. I don't know if I can trust it anymore.. especially if we cannot see the source code

i have been using Deluge for couple of months now...

seems this is one of the only client that is not yet block/throttled by my ISP

well, during the initial version it does crash a lot...

after found a 'trick' to it , it is now hardly/or never crash...

solution was just to clean install a fresh deluge client (not install windows) and remember to install IPV6 protocol in WinXP

however there is still a bug where I cannot add new torrent file after the client has been set running >1 min...

solution to it was to quit deluge and double click the .torrent file....

have to do this with almost all the file... a lil bit annoying but it is now stable and i max out my d/l speed (512kbps package) at 52KB/s....

okay, crash..

so what? i mean seriously, so what?

I found out that even after deluge crashes with the C++ error thing, download still works. I mean, it does work. Proven.

If u dont believe me, open ur task manager >> network after C++ error appears, but dont click ok on that error (clicking ok will close deluge).
Then, let the network meter runs for a while, and try clicking ok to close the error message. You will see that the network meter plummet to the floor, well, ur know what i mean.

Anyway, the next time u open deluge (say u had C++ error overnite), it might still show that ur downloads are half way. Not to worry, pause that download, quit deluge normally and relaunch deluge. Re-run the download, do a force recheck, and walla..

Just to remind you guys that if you encountered VC++ Exception & you're using Windows other than Vista, it is most likely caused by IPv6. Just install IPv6 stack should help this issue.

My crashing seems pretty random at best.

Occasionally I can make it through a full 24 hrs without crashing,

however - it typically will crash a feww times per day.

the crash is always msvcrt.dll

setting that may apply:

Half-open connections set to 50 in tcpip.sys
advanced progress bar is on
torrent notification is on
IPv6 is installed

system:
3GB DDR2 5400
Core 2 E6400
WinXP SP2

I'm going to turn opff the advanced progress bar and torrent notify to see if that helps.. I was crashing often before installing IPv6, its seems to have had little effect either way.

hmm, there seems to be a direct relationship between the frequency of crashes and the number of active torrents I have going..


more torrents = more crashes
