CtorrentGui V2.4 released

Just to let you know, i have just uploaded V2.4 of CtorrentGui.

It's now in the upload queue on the depot. I have now fixed the system freeze when starting the program.

so it works and we can download torrent files with the amiga?? :)

@nubechecorre

No promises. You just have to try and see. also check the info on the icon. I haven't done anything else than fixing the freeze.

@Antique

Just tested, it works well, download OK.
Thank you Pal

@zzd10h

you were actually able to start a torrent and download a file? could you share the torrent you tried? the new ctorrent build starts up just fine, reads in the torrent fine, but -- like before -- times out on every tracker without fail.

i'm sure i'm doing something wrong, since all the torrents i've tried and didn't work on my amiga work just fine on my linux boxes, but i have no idea what it is. if anyone can actually use ctorrent successfully, let me know. maybe we can debug my setup together? pretty please?

No joy making this work here. Like Eliyahu, hope it is something simple.

@eliyahu
Yes it works,
I tried the same torrent with ctorrent and with qtweb, both worked.

PM sent to you.

@eliyahu

Could you be more specific about torrents didn't work ?
when you launch ctorrent (or the guictorrent) do you have an error at startup ?
A message like ""error, initial meta info failed." appears for some torrents and not for others ?
If that occurs, it is normal, this is a known bug and it was corrected in an old patch.

And to prove that it works really for me.

here is 2 torrents downloading with ctorrent and QtWeb.

If you want to try the linux distro torrent showed in this picture,

The other torrent that you see (masked) on QtWeb is not a Linux distro...

Antique :
it seems that the upload bandwith is not very accurate (see compared with the NetDock info window)
And for you, it works, true ?

@zzd10h

hallelujah! it works, well, at least with the ubuntu torrent you pointed me to. and i know, screenshot or didn't happen:

Great for Linux distro but for the other one that I sent you by PM ?

@zzd10h

that one i got the "error, initial meta info failed. Broken?" requester, and then ctorrent died.

Strange, for me this torrent too works...

Where can be the difference ?

French ISP ? Very slow Internet bandwith (200kB/s max for me) ?

umm people I think youll find this happens because the torrent file
you download is compressed. Try double clicking it in DirOpus and then
copy this file over the original, then select it.

I always had to do this with torrents from UG for example

the odd one still didnt work but I lived with it because it hardly ever happened

sometimes there is a download as txt file too which should work

Quote:
That makes no sense, double clicking for me just shows the files hex numbers. Not sure what you're doing to get a second file.

@sundown

I confirm what Slayer wrote.
Sometimes, the torrent file is compressed. Use unarc to decompact and use the bin file.
However, I haven't found this kind of torrent file for ages.

Don't know what the problem is, but it is not that the torrents are compressed here. They are not. I can download with my Macs, so not a huge issue for me.... just one of those things to nag me about why it doesn't work on my Miggy.

@sundown

i guess i have my double click action to list
the contents of an archive ( its configurable) its just a little bit
quicker than using unarc I suppose

and also the file would need to be compressed, i have to admitt however
my stance is rather limited anyway since Ive really only ever used one
torrent site

@yescop

Forgot to add the patch.
It's also possible to change port with the tooltype LISTENPORT. Not sure if it can help though.
