[SOLVED] Chunks Plugin only shows F Chunks, always.

[simur612]

Hello,

im running ruTorrent 3.4 (latest SVN from right now) with rTorrent: 0.8.9/0.12.9 (on a headless ubuntu server)

Im used from Azureus (yes im that old...) to see in the Chunk screen how the Chunks are spread over the peers.

Now in ruTorrent i only see F in the Chunks, and always the last Chunk have a 8 in it written! What makes me think something is wrong.

F should on only be written if more than 15 Peers are connected with that Chunk, and i see that there are more than 40 Peers with less than 100% connected, so that cant be all F´s

See here for a typical Chunk list: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide (scroll down to "The Chunks seen screen")

I looked into the Code and found in the CSS file that there would be Items for all values (0-F) but they never show up


Could somebody confirm this or do i have something wrong?

This is a two different things - what rtorrent show to you in console, and what it pass to ruTorrent with XMLRPC API.
'F' means - you have all data for this chunk. '0' means - you haven't this chunk yet. '8' is means - you have ~ 50% data of this chunk. Etc.
You may see '8' at the last chunk because file data is less than chunk.
Count of peers hasn't relation to the chunks picture in ruTorrent.

oh

are there plans to implement the rtorrent chunk view into rutorrent?

for downloading the current view is ok, but for seeding this is not helpful...


Is the data available from the XMLRPC API or would it even first needs to be implemented into the rtorrent client?

All data, which available via rtorrent's XMLRPC API you already may see at the plugin's tab. I can't show anything more.
If rtorrent's author add new methods with full chunks info, then i will redesign plugin.

That'll likely not work over xmlrpc, since the binary string won't result in valid xml (must be base64 encoded or similar).​

So they changed it to hex: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/commit/020de10f38210a07a567aeebbe385a4faaf4b517


i added this also on the issue: http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/issues/detail?id=713#c2

ok, rutorrent svn 2035 and rtorrent 5bed4f0, libtorrent 88f8359 straight from github.

The Chunks screen now looks a bit different, but no change in the behavior

Do i need to activate this somewhere?

If you have rtorrent with proper version, then you must see a select at the top/right corner of the 'chunks' tab.

oh shame over me!!!

YES, there is the Dropdown!

Perfect

Thanks for this, now i can run 100% only on rutorrent
