Wanted Ctorrent Betatester[V2.3 out]

I'd like to have a couple more to test my (enhanced) ctorrent port dnh3.2. The latest one. I have one tester allready. I'd like to have atleast one with os4 classic. Since i don't have that myself. I am working on a gui but since it's taking quite longer to make than first expected i though i'd get this tested and release it and bring updates when the gui is working( better than now).

Have just uploaded V2.1.

Changes:

*Removed some printf output if pressing ok in the aslrequester without choosing
a file,or the .torrent was broken.
*Added pause button in prefs tab. Sets titlebar to 'paused' when active.
*Added support for big files :) Thanks to Jesus Fernandez(yescop) for fixing
that.

And thanks to mason for the icon.

Yes,the ratio doesn't work yet. Will fix that for next time, sorry.


IF people encounters any bugs/problems etc. Please report them.
Thanks

Hello,

Well I compiled it a few months ago and it works very well except for a bug described in the enhanced torrent site.
Sometimes, the download is completed but if the torrent is launched again, they tell us that the files are incomplete.
The solution is remove one line of code.

I post this message to know two things.
I don't release my version because first I don't succeed to replace the calls to sigaction (in sigint.cpp for example).
Second, with the version dhn 3.2, we can create files bigger than 2 Go (with fopen64, fwrite64 calls) but for the moment we don't have the sdk I right ?

If not, how did you manage it ?

To conclude, this version of ctorrent is very good, is working very well.

Advantage:
I use it (option -T) when I need to download files with names incompatible with amiga os4.

Disavantage:

Without sigaction, I must "strike" my key enter every minute so you can't sleep. If not the initialisation step is stopped.

During the download, I must do the same.
But here, I use a trick. I enter a 255 character (e) line and I can sleep for some time...

@Antique

I have OS4 Classic, so just let me know want you want me to do.

I have no experience of downloading torrents so you might have to baby me through it a bit, but I'm happy to have a go.

@Antique

I have OS4 classic too. I have vast experience downloading torrents

I can test if you're interested. PM me!

Cheers,

Dragster

@Antique

ill give it a workout if you need another A1 tester

@yescop

The sigaction is not needed. And i had the same problem with the key strokes,don't exatly remember the cause but have fixed that now. It's worked very well for me atleast. Working on implementing a reaction gui,which is taking time. Since i'm not so good at programming it's not going fast. But doing as good as i can.

@poweramiga,dragster & tiredoflife:

Pm me and we'll fix you up as testers.

@Antique

I'd be more than happy to test the CTorrent port for you if you want. On OS4 Classsic of course. Years ago, a person I knew on IRC did a ctorrent port, I managed to successfully setup the necessary MIME settings in IBrowse so it was all automated from the torrent sites I'd visit.

BTW, I live on Transmission (nice and clean) on my Macbook Pro, so I do the odd torrent :)

edit: Just realized. This is the first post I've done on these forums.

@krash

No wonder the place is slipping

Welcome, anyway.

Just an update shot. Progress is slow as always



Comments are welcome. Ideas etc too(maybe )

@Antique

MiniNova & ISOhunt RoXx0r

& any chance of making it look like THIS ?

ie: Incorporate the search engine within the app or at least have an option ?

@Outcast

Hmmm. No idea really. Never had any experience with that kinda things before. Probably not,but might try it sometime. But it would be a quite low pri at the moment.

@Antique

First finish the gui you have then if you have the time and you could try to make something more advanced :)

@Kicko

Yes,still working on that. It's my main goal. Have made some progress.
All text output should(hopefully) be redirected to the gui.

Just a tiny update on the project.

I have fixed 2 dsi's i have been getting starting the program. Can be started from an icon, And a asl requester pops up and lets you choose a torrent file for download.

Have done some work trying to get it more bullet proof. I will shortly start on the work to get the gui working(buttons etc).

@Antique
hi l also just used your program worked fine was cool to dl on the amiga so yeah , l too whould be glad to test for you.

@actungbaby44

Thank you. :)

I have nothing new to test right now,I'm rewriting something(simplifying text output) and will hpoefully soon start on the gui stuff. When i've done progress there i will need some testing Will post updates here,so you will know and then you can test for me.

@Antique

no thanks you thats really neat of you to do this program
l have dl lots torrents on my pc stargate atlantis etc
then l stream them to pxs3 , dl episdoe 17 series 4 with your program worked great dl fast also.
gui looks great , best torrent programs are simple ones.
best pc torrent program me and freind use is bit tornado

again thanks this what been hoping for on the amiga

@all

You're welcome to test for me. Can find me on irc(amigaworld,amigans). Has to be there since i can't access my hotmail account. Sorry for that. There are most likely several bugs i haven't found yet though

Cheers

@Antique

The last beta trashes the .torrent file when exiting gui while it still downloads. The .torrent file gets 144bytes and is unusable. Please fix this ASAP ;)

Another thing i discovered is that it gets the text "warn, connect to tracker failed: Connection timed out" in the output window rather then in the gui.

Another thing is that it shows too big filesize UP. I have 8mbit/1mbit so lets say 120KB is what i would be able to send UP. But i had speeds showing like 800KB hehe :)
