I now think it is a combination of things:
1. clients sometimes forget requests, they skip ahead.
2. rtorrent tries to reget those holes after a while (which seems to
work much better now)
3. super-seeder hide chunks they have served
If you combine those 3 it seem that rtorrent looses a source for the
chunk with the hole and if there aren't any other sources the block
will remain incomplete and stall the download till the superseeder
resets itself. At least that is what it looks like now.
I'm not sure what to do about this. It isn't really a bug in rtorrent
but we can't fix every other client out there.
Rtorrent could better remember that some client did have that chunk
and re-request it even if that client now says it isn't available
anymore. I.e. ignore the super-seeder hack. Unless the super-seeder
will NAK such requests.
