[Libtorrent-devel] torrent anounced but not able to download,

[Shehjar Tikoo]

Hi

The problem I am facing now is this.
The tracker gets the announce request.But a peer is not able to 
download.The btdownloadcurses tool hangs on the 'connecting to peer' 
message'

The problem is most probably occurring due to the extra file descriptor 
I have added to the fdset in select call.This FD is for a Unix Domain 
Socket that I am using for IPC with another process.But I do unset it 
when I call the torrent::work function.

I say that its probably this FD thats causing a problem since, the peer 
is able to download when I seed using another program that does the same 
seeding but without IPC facilities.But there could also be another reason.

I know this is a generic programming issue, but I was hoping if I could 
get some help about this here.

Below is the while loop of the daemon.

=====================
while(1) {
	FD_ZERO(&rset);
	FD_ZERO(&wset);
	FD_ZERO(&eset);
	
	//First mark fd sets from the libtorrent methods.
	torrent::mark(&rset, &wset, &eset, &torrent_max_fd);

	if(curlStack.is_busy())
		curlStack.fdset(&rset, &wset, 	&eset,curl_max_fd);
	
	maxfd = std::max(torrent_max_fd, curl_max_fd);
	
	//Then mark the unix domain sockets fd
	FD_SET(sockfd, &rset);
		

	if(sockfd > maxfd)
		maxfd = sockfd;

	timout = std::min(5000000 + torrent::get(torrent::TIME_CURRENT), 
torrent::get(torrent::TIME_SELECT));

	if(timout < 0)
		timout = 0;

	timeout.tv_sec = timout / 1000000;
	timeout.tv_usec = timout % 1000000;

		
	numfd = select(maxfd + 1, &rset, &wset, &eset, &timeout);

	if(FD_ISSET(sockfd, &rset)) {
		connfd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&seeder_sock, &sockaddr_len);
		if(connfd >= 0) {
			tmp = add_seed_list(connfd, downloads);
			close(connfd);
		}
	}
		
	//Clear the fd of the unix domain socket, since we now need to 	
	//let libtorrent do its work.
	FD_CLR(sockfd, &rset);
		
	try {
		torrent::work(&rset, &wset, &eset, numfd);
	}catch(std::exception e) {
		std::cout<<e.what();
	}

	curlStack.perform();
	}
