GeoIP-database cannot be loaded

[ghost]

qBittorrent: v3.3.6 Qt: 5.7.0 libtorrent: 1.0.9.0 boost: 1.61.0 OS version: Win10 x64 Build 14393 (version 1607) 10.0.14393

On a fresh installation of qBittorrent on the system mentioned above, the log gives me following message:

03.08.2016 17:20 - Couldn't load GeoIP database. Reason: Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.

(translated: The system cannot find the path specified.)

and later...

03.08.2016 17:42 - Couldn't load GeoIP database. Reason: Unsupported database file size.

This results in the error of not resolving the peer countries, leaving the tab "Country" in the peers tab blank.

GeoIP is activated along with resolving the peer's host names. Neither restarting, nor deactivating and re-activating the setting fixes the problem. Reverting back to qBittorrent v3.3.5, then to v3.3.4 did not fix the problem either -- the same message appears in the log.

I have the same issue, it started to appear recently

qBittorrent: v3.3.4 Qt: 5.6.0 libtorrent: 1.0.8.0 boost: 1.60.0 OS version: Win7 [Version 6.1.7601]

Cant replicate with a fresh install of 3.3.6 :C

~~If you're affected by this you can just redownload the country database and put it in appdata/local/qbittorent/GeoIP https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/~~

~~You want the "Country" database download from the page i linked. Direct link is here: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-Country.mmdb.gz You'll need to extract it as its gzipped so you'll need a utility like 7zip.~~

Doesnt load, unsupported database file size

I have the same issue since i installed qBittorrent.

qBittorrent v3.3.6 Qt: 5.7.0 libtorrent: 1.0.9.0 boost: 1.61.0 OS version: Win10 64bit

Maybe the GeoIP database updated and qBittorrent just has some problem with compatibility?

[SagePtr]

src\base\net\private\geoipdatabase.cpp:

43: const int MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10485760; // 10MB

100: if (file.size() > MAX_FILE_SIZE) {
101:     error = tr("Unsupported database file size.");
102:     return 0;
103: }

But now GeoLite2-Country.mmdb is ~19 Mb. You should increase this const or remove it entirely. Because IPv4 pool is over, ip block distribution among countries is heavily fragmented and fragmentation grows and grows.

See #5648, which is linked above. It's being worked on, to be fixed in the next version. :)

5648 is merged now.
