Package: rtorrent
Version: 0.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I noticed that when I restart rtorrent (and I think also when
rehashing) all the old peers are forgotten. Normaly this is no problem
as the tracker gives out new peers. But it becomes a problem when the
tracker no longer has the torrent or doesn't allow access (e.g. my IP
changed and the torrent is host based).
There are also tracker that stop handing out peers if the upload is
below the download and without any peers one can't get back on the
trackers good site and the file won't finish.
Thirdly there seem to be tracker that remember what peers they have
already told each client and only hand out new peers. If the file is
of little interest it can be a long while till someone new connects.
So in conclusion I think rtorrent should save the list of peers for
each torrent in its session dir.
MfG
Goswin
