stuck upload slots

[ratpenat]

Sometimes, especially after periods of high activity with many peers, some upload slots get stuck. With no activity whatsoever and no peer connections on the active view, the upload slot info at the bottom shows for instance [U 14/60]. This phantom upload slots don't get released and a client restart is required.

[ratpenat]

The cause of this are rtorrent clients that did download a torrent partially (setting some files to off priority because they are not interested in them):

• rtorrent keeps the connection to seeders when a partial download is completed, wasting upload slots.
• in a rtorrent to rtorrent communication, both peers waste slots. The partial seeder as described before and the full seeder gives a slot to the partial seeder and doesn't release it even if there is no action going on.

Maybe this is related to this bug (?):

• finished event doesn't get triggered when couple of files are set to off

[chros73]

All you need to do is to fire up this command if a download is partially finished:
d.disconnect.seeders=

This issue relates to: #144 (rtorrent 0.9.3/0.13.3: Issues with "partially" downloaded torrent. Never finishes, completion percentage)

And to cron it…

rtcontrol --from incomplete xfer=0 partial_done=100 --exec disconnect.seeders

Hi,
could you help me with config.py file? A tried add "partial_done" to rtcontrol fields but...

bonk1990@HTPC ~/rtorrent $ rtcontrol --from incomplete xfer=0 partial_done=100 --exec disconnect.seeders

You can add 1 more new line like this with the value is_partially_done (instead of "partial_done"):
yield engine.OnDemandField(int, "is_partially_done", "is partially done", matcher=matching.FloatFilter)

[bonk1990]

I'm sorry, but I'm new to this and definitely need more help.
bonk1990@HTPC ~ $ rtcontrol --from incomplete xfer=0 partial_done=100 --exec disconnect.seeders
in return
ERROR Bad command u'disconnect.seeders', probably missing a '=' (need more than 1 value to unpack)

I tried:
bonk1990@HTPC ~ $ rtcontrol --from incomplete xfer=0 partial_done=100 --exec disconnect.seeders=
but in return seeds will be disconnected only for one second. After that seeds will be up (new one)

BTW, this is the wrong project, an issue tracker is not a support platform, and you hijacked another person's ticket.
