Subject: creates empty file duplicates in incoming after originals removed
Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 11:40:58 -0800
Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 2.5.28-2
Severity: normal

After files are removed from the incoming directory mldonkey-server
creates empty versions of them in the incoming directory. These file
creations happen every few minutes. This behaviour happens across
server invocations. I primarily use the bittorrent protocol with
mldonkey and have not verified that this behaviour happens with other
protocols.

I suspect this is related to mldonkey-server trying share chunks of 
completed files and not checking to see if the file still exists.
Some sort of 'touch' occurs and a ghost file is created.

This is annoying because the incoming directory is constantly populated
with the ghosts of files from ages past.

Update of bug #12875 (project mldonkey):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #2:

you should remove the .torrent from torrents/seeded and then issue the
command reshare_torrents (the core will print "BT-Tracker return: stopped
NAME" in the log) and then you can remove the file.

I'm not sure if the empty files still can occur for other networks such as
edonkey, but i think they don't (just issue reshare after removing the
file).

However it would be nice if the core could be notified by file-changes and do
this automatically... (opening a new wishlist-bug for that)

According to upstream BTS this is not a bug:

you should remove the .torrent from torrents/seeded and then issue the
command reshare_torrents (the core will print "BT-Tracker return:
stopped NAME" in the log) and then you can remove the file.

I'm not sure if the empty files still can occur for other networks such
as edonkey, but i think they don't (just issue reshare after removing the
file).

However it would be nice if the core could be notified by file-changes
and do this automatically... (opening a new wishlist-bug for that)

I'm therefore closing this bug.

Cheers,

Samuel.
