Huge speed drop at the end of a download
Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2010 3:38 pm
I observed that at the end of a file (e.g. few kB remaining) the download speed falls to ridiculous levels (1 to 5KBps) and sometimes it just stops.
This is not only because of the rareness of the last blocs since I observed this on private trackers where the normal speed is very high (5-8MBps) with a lot of seeders (100+).
It almost always happens but sometimes the speed don't fall "fast enough" to prevent the download to complete, and sometimes it takes a few minutes to do 99.95% and 30 minutes to complete the last 0.05% !
What can be done to prevent this to happen ? Is it a problem with libtorrent ?
