Webseed leaks and causes 100s of GB of traffic #581
Comments
Does this behavior happen with the same torrent/webseed or does the same torrent/webseed sometimes work and sometimes not? If it is the first can you link to such a problematic torrent/webseed? |
No, because deleting the torrent and the file from the harddisk always fixes the problem. I guess the problem is, that qbittorrent does not drop the problematic part and recharges it - somehow. Because just deleting the torrent, but leaving the partial file on disk, does not fix it. |
Most probably this is a libtorrent problem. As far as I know qbt doesn't do anything fancy with the webseeds. This is handle by libtorrent. |
I create them by myself. Guess I need to explain this: I use the onlinetvrecorder.com. You get your recordings as files and can download them via http oder torrent. But not all series have seeders, so I manually add the webseed-link to a torrent to become the initial seeder. I created a litte example. Don't worry, as the onlinetvrecorder encrypts the files, it's absolutly legal. It's an episode of "Little House on the Prairie". I downloaded the torrent and inserted the http-webseed. But as it comes from a mirror, it will only be available for a few hours.Name: Unsere_kleine_Farm_13.04.14_04-45_kabel1_50_TVOON_DE.mpg.avi.otrkey GENERAL Name: Unsere_kleine_Farm_13.04.14_04-45_kabel1_50_TVOON_DE.mpg.avi.otrkey TRACKERS Tier #1 Tier #2 WEBSEEDS FILES Unsere_kleine_Farm_13.04.14_04-45_kabel1_50_TVOON_DE.mpg.avi.otrkey (527.3 MB) Link to the torrent-file: http://wwu.dyndns.info/privat/Unsere_kleine_Farm_13.04.14_04-45_kabel1_50_TVOON_DE.mpg.avi.otrkey.torrent Try it out - but as I said: Most time it will work. |
This issue would be better addressed at http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/entry as qBittorrent is just an GUI and does not handle BitTorrent networking. |
So why is this bug only in V3.1.0alpha then? The libtorrent-rastabar6 wasn't updated by the repo, I think? |
Your libtorrent version must have changed? In any case, qBittorrent does not handle communication with Web seeds so I cannot see how it would be responsible for such behavior. |
It's not in the repo, so why should it have changed? Anyway, I reported it here: http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/detail?id=463 |
@MPW1412 what version of libtorrent are you using? (help->about->libraries) |
I have these ones installed, guess it's the first one: dpkg -l |grep -i libtorrent I think it's from ubuntu's repo. |
Just so you know, latest stable libtorrent-rasterbar version is 0.16.9 and not 0.15.10... |
Is there a repo for it somewhere? For Ubuntu 12.04 I can just find repos with 15.x. |
I don't run Ubuntu, but take a look here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/libtorrent-rasterbar7 for just the library, or http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/raring/libtorrent-rasterbar for docs, python bindings, etc., too. |
lib torrent bug |
Hello,
I noticed that there is a webseed download leak in V 3.1.0alpha. It happens quite often (around 1/20), that when I download a file via http-webseed, that qbittorrent has some hashing problems. It redownloads the same part again and again and causes lots of dropped traffic. In my case up to 50 or 60 GB sometimes until I noticed it and stoped it manually.
There should be two things fixed:
1.) If more than 100 or 200 MB of traffic for one torrent was droppend, eliminate the webseed. Just as it would happen with a torrent peer that uploads useless parts aswell.
2.) All the webseeds, that caused these problems, could be loaded perfectly via wget or any browser. After the download was completed, I could easyly import them with the torrent file to qbittorrent in order to seed them. So the torrent file was not corrupted either and there must be an issue around the validating of downloaded data via webseed.
Until 3.0 qbittorent did not have this leak!
Bye
MPW
