[Libtorrent-devel] unfinished torrents closing when disk space is tight.

[Gabor Hudiczius]

Hi,

it's not a bug, it's a feature :)
rtorrent has a hardcoded event, what stops torrents, when free space is
below 500M
there are a few things you can do about it:
-free up some space ^^
-check the rtorrent/src/main.cc for the line "schedule =
low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=500M\n", and remove/change it, then
recompile
-override the event in your rtorrent.rc file, with a similar one, like
"schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=10M" (without the quotes
- this one will stop torrent, when free space is below 10M)

Regards,
Gabor Hudiczius

Hi, I've been using rtorrent for quite a while now, and I love it.  But
I've been having problems with 0.7.8 (it's the debian build if that
matters).  It seems like whenever space starts getting tight any
unfinished torrents just close themselves after a couple seconds. 

Right now I have about 450mb left and any torrent I try to download
closes, whether it's bigger or smaller than 450.  It even closes
torrents that are 100% complete for one file and have all the other
files set to "off" (so these shouldn't be downloading anything). 
Torrents that have completed have no problems at all.  Ktorrent has no
problem downloading.

If I free up some space so... now I have 2.2 GB.  I'll start a
torrent... and it's been over an hour with no problems.  This seems like
a bug to me.  If I can provide any information to help you track this
down and fix it let me know.  Thanks a lot for a great app.
