Seeders / Peers Stats reported as 0 on Some Private Trackers (RuTracker for example) #480

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Deluge 1.3.6 Client GUI under Xubuntu 13.04 64 bit
2. download then Seed to a private tracker (RuTracker for example)
3. After download deluge reports 0 seeds and 0 peers which do not match the 
tracker stats.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
correct number of seeds and peers, not zero.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
deluge 1.3.6, xubuntu 13.04 64 bit

Please provide any additional information below.
This has been a long going issue with some private trackers. Deluge devs say it 
is a libtorrent problem.

which fields specifically are 0?

libtorrent provides 3 different sources for these counters.

int list_peers;
int list_seeds;
int num_complete;
int num_incomplete;
int num_seeds;
int num_peers;

If this does not turn out to be a mistake in deluge, using the wrong field or 
having misunderstood what they mean, it would be great if you could provide a 
response from the tracker (can be captured with wireshark) just to confirm that 
the tracker does in fact report counters > 0, and which ones.

Both the number of seeders and peers report 0 even when a peer is connected and 
downloading. That peer then completes and becomes another seeder but the number 
of seeders stays at 0.

I think this is an issue with some private trackers only. Check the screenshot 
attached. The top 2 seeding items for mame sets are on the pleasuredome private 
tracker which is ok but the bottom ST no-intro set is on Rutracker which is the 
problem.

uTorrent under windows reports all stats correctly so maybe they work out the 
stats differently ?

Same issue with Ru Tracker so maybe not a bug but reporting method is different 
?

I am not a dev so no idea how utorrent or other windows clients work the stats 
out.

That screenshot of deluge is not all that relevant for libtorrent 
unfortunately. It's relevant for a bug report against Deluge, not libtorrent. 
The output from libtorrent is 6 numbers (the ones I mentioned earlier):

int list_peers;
int list_seeds;
int num_complete;
int num_incomplete;
int num_seeds;
int num_peers;

These are documented here:

http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/manual.html#torrent-status

In order to figure out if this is a bug (in libtorrent) or not, it is necessary 
to know which ones of those numbers are 0, and why they would be expected to 
not be zero. A wireshark dump of one tracker announce would be appropriate for 
instance.

I would expect a deluge developer to file this bug and to be able to provide 
this information. I would not expect an end-user of deluge to know the internal 
of deluge enough to be able to answer this question.

The screenshot shows:

Seeders: num_seeds (num_complete)
Peers: num_peers-num_seeds (num_incomplete)

Sorry should have added that if num_complete or num_incomplete is -1 then the 
value, in braces, is not shown, this means the counters are as follows:

num_complete = -1
num_incomplete = -1
num_peers = 0
num_seeds = 0
