Downloads stop - Need to restart daemon to resume

Post by apetiger »

My downloads stop (says downloading, but all torrents are at 0kb/s) after a while, and I need to restart the daemon to start them again. I am running 1.3.4 on archlinux. The problem was also there in 1.3.3.

Any suggestions? :)

I noticed this problem too. I think it was happening on mine because I automatically archive the downloads once completed onto my Drobo and seed from there. If there is a large torrent copying to my drobo there is no progress and it seems to block all the downloads (try manually moving something large across a slow connection like USB).

UPDATE:

Just checked the libtorrent api docs and it says that it will block the IO:

Code: Select all

move_storage()
void move_storage(boost::filesystem::path const& save_path) const;
void move_storage(boost::filesystem::wpath const& save_path) const;
Moves the file(s) that this torrent are currently seeding from or downloading to. If the given save_path is not located on the same drive as the original save path, The files will be copied to the new drive and removed from their original location. This will block all other disk IO, and other torrents download and upload rates may drop while copying the file.

Since disk IO is performed in a separate thread, this operation is also asynchronous. Once the operation completes, the storage_moved_alert is generated, with the new path as the message. If the move fails for some reason, storage_moved_failed_alert is generated instead, containing the error message.

I have noticed I lose my connection a few times a day. I only lose it for a few seconds, but It causes a lot of problems - disconnecting from irc, downloads in my web-browser stops etc... Maybe this is what is causing my deluge downloads to stop also? Is it possible to make it reconnect when it loses the connection or something?
