[Libtorrent-devel] libTorrent 0.6.2 and rTorrent 0.2.2 released

[Jari Petter Sundell]

* Fixed a bug that caused an exception to be thrown when downloading
torrents that had a file with length zero.

* Initial hash checking of torrents now do read-ahead based on bytes, not
chunks. Also it gives up control after every chunk that is checked, which
increases the responsiveness of the client during the hash checking.

* Implemented a new generic throttle system. Throttling of download is
done with capital A,S,D,Z,X,C, while upload throttle uses the old
non-capital keys.

The throttle code is completely new so there might bugs lurking there.
There is no dynamic limit on how many peers the client downloads from, so
setting the download throttle too low with too many peers will propably
cause them to time out. Though this should not happen unless you are
downloading at less than 10-20 b/s from a peer.
