Not reporting upload amount to tracker on close; and sorting.

Post by Rastaman »

Getting hit and runs on my private trackers due to not updating the tracker correctly. Using version 3.3.16

Example:
Tracker reannounce is defaulted to 30 minutes by website. If you have fast download and upload and finish both up/down before this 30 minute reannounce no upload is counted at all, only download. If you wait the full 30 minutes for it to update the tracker on its own it works fine. If you manually force reannouce through the tracker tab yourself nothing happens. If you Pause the torrent (ie Stop) it does not send a graceful stop and update the tracker at all.

Sorting:
Done category should secondary sort by name. Pics explains it:

utorrent does both of these things just fine, hope we can get these here as well. Thank you for reading :)

Bump!

Have you posted this at qBitTorrent's github issues page?
...found at:

There may already be a similar or identical issue reported, so please look for them.

But doesn't seem like devs care.

Seems to be a problem with private trackers that use multiple announce URLs. That's really all my testing can get out of this, otherwise the client works fine on single trackers or public trackers.

At least someone else collaborated the problems, so there's more hope of it getting solved.

Did some more testing and noticed some things, maybe this will help

The 3 trackers on the private site are all listed as 0. This causes the status to eventually turn to "not working" with a "dupe, access denied" error

Image

Here's a public tracker with multiple announces that works just fine.

As mentioned before utorrent works just fine on the private site. Looks like it removes 2 of the announces and just sticks with 1

The obvious answer would be to just remove 2 of them manually in Qbittorrent before starting it but it still errors to dupe, access denied after the first announce. Not sure why utorrent does this smarter

qBitTorrent may be announcing to ALL trackers in 1 tier, and the private trackers refuse to hand out peer+seed ip lists because that violates the multi-tracker specifications of the BitTorrent protocol as well as that particular tracker's update rules.

Not sure what any of that means :P

But qbt only connects to 1 tracker at the start, works good for 30 minutes. The other 2 trackers sit on "not connected yet" status which I assume is fine. Then after 30 minutes it's time to announce to the tracker again and that's when all hell breaks loose and all 3 go to not working and errors out with dupe access denied

I even went and enabled all 3 announces to run simultaneously on utorrent, and that still runs without a problem and still reports everything correctly no matter how many minutes/hours it runs.

Ok, that sounds like qBitTorrent is messed up in ways other than "working as designed"!

Newest build on Github fixes bad upload reporting! Sorting is still not very intelligent but at least the big thing is fixed :P
