lftp torrent set variables are missing

[ChrisCheney]

When trying to download torrents using lftp-4.9.2-1.fc33.x86_64 on Fedora 33 I get the following error:

lftp -c "set ssl:verify-certificate no; set torrent:stop-on-ratio 0; set torrent:seed-max-time 0; torrent https://files.kde.org/neon/images/user/20201203-0947/neon-user-20201203-0947.iso.torrent"
torrent:stop-on-ratio: no such variable. Use `set -a' to look at all variables.
torrent:seed-max-time: no such variable. Use `set -a' to look at all variables.
neon-user-20201203-0947.iso: Validation: 4569/6480 (70%) 545.56M/s eta:1s    

Running 'set -a' shows no torrent related variables.

set ssl:use-sni yes
set ssl:verify-certificate yes
set xfer:auto-rename no
set xfer:backup-suffix ~%Y%m%d%H%M%S~

Add “module cmd-torrent” command at the beginning.

Thanks that worked. 👍

The lftp torrent feature appears to mostly work without using the module command so then appears buggy as noted earlier, so the discoverability of needing to use module could be improved.

Maybe when using the torrent command have lftp mention that its module should be loaded if it wasn't?

It might also be helpful to add to the lftp man page when you need to use the module command. While the man page does cover both 'torrent' and 'module' commands it doesn't mention that the torrent command needs the command module cmd-torrent. It looks like this might also apply to the 'mirror' and 'sleep' commands as well.

Thanks! Chris

You are correct, it’s a misfeature that settings are only available after loading the module. The command “torrent” itself triggers automatic module loading.
