"Download Now" menu item bug

Postby flitox » 14 Jun 2012 16:41

hello,

i'm facing another oddity with it, every files i've started to download do not reappear in the download list (despite not being finished) when restarting shareaza.
the files are still in the incomplete folder but the part file is saved as .sav.

if i remember correctly, the only time it had happened to me before was when shareaza was not terminate properly. here all files i've added has acted this way and shareaza was closed normally.

I think you have problem hardware (damaged memory, overheat or HDD bad blocks)...

which had appeared as soon as i've installed 2.6???

the only files that had that behavior are the new ones i added, no problem with the old ones
2 were xx% done and one was still at 0% (and no data received)

and as i said the only time i had those sd files saved as sav was at time when shareaza crashed, not when shutting normally and correctly

Downloads disappear in 2.6.0.0

Postby branko-r » 16 Jun 2012 19:20

Just like the subject says: you start downloading the file, and the next time you start Shareaza, it's gone. It is not displayed in the Transfer window, but it's still there in the incomplete files folder!

How is this possible? I'll have to say I'm more than a little bit pissed now, this is not something one would expect after a year of waiting for the new version.

And that's not all: GUI freezing for 5 minutes or so is also super-annoying. It could happen in 2.5.x too, but was pretty tame in comparison.

I'm going back to 2.5.5.0, my guess is that all those started downloads will magically "appear".

Well... My guess is as follows:
- certain files in the incomplete files folder got corrupted somehow
- hence, they were ignored
- if one starts downloading the same file again, the corrupted files only get overwritten once the first byte is downloaded
- therefore, if one closes Shareaza before the first byte is downloaded and then opens it again, it will appear as if the download is gone

It's much worse than that. I've even cancelled all the downloads (interestingly, those files which were "invisible" in the transfer window yet still present in the incomplete files folder remained in this folder after the cancellation of all downloads) and then started a couple of downloads again. No luck, however: as soon as Shareaza is closed and opened again, there are no files in the Transfers window at all!

Any ideas?

hehe looks like i'm not alone with this!! (my post viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1339)

1st you cant go back to previous version without losing all your download, not because they disappear but because they are incompatible with the old version. it has been like that for a long time now with shareaza.

as you said, the files aren't lost despite not showing on the download window. it just that they ain't saved as .sd files but .sav files. but if you delete the .sav so the file is .sd again and then you start shareaza, your download will be seen again in the download window

simply start a new download and close shareaza before it finishes!! even if the files did received data for it, it works (at least here).
on the other hand, adding a file but it is in pending state (download/search ofr peer not started cause you outnumber the number of allowed download), the file is, in the incomplete folder saved as .sd (now exactly as .partial.sd)

what i have notice:
when i put the file in the queue, in the incomplete folder i get the normal .partial + a strange .partial.sav file
but after closing shareaza things remain the same.

if i change the extention of the .partial.sav file into .partial.sd, the file is seen again in the list and never got back to a .sav when closing shareaza

not on topic, but when did the .sd files became named .partial.sd??

sorry don't know how to make magnet link but i've just tried with that file
sha1_D7ZVWCPLISIFT7MMU2NA34SPLLEKPA3C

and again no .sd file in the incomplete folder but a .sav file

i must add that all these files were inserted in the download list using the 'download now' option when right clicking on them, since i got a list of download bigger than the number of active downloading files.

Indeed, there are incomplete .partial.sav files, and all one has to do is to rename them to .partial.sd, as suggested above. These downloads do not seem to be corrupted, they reappear within Shareaza and resume in a normal way. Thanks again!

Just "{hash}.sd".

It was very interesting bug. Bad code was inside Shareaza since 2010 but has been "sleeping" all the time and waiting for recent optimization in 2.6.0.0. Code has start working by "Download Now" menu item only and only for regular file downloads, torrent-files not affected. Fixed in r9171.
