Incorrect reporting of Download Progress

[Cas]

Twice now I have had problems with torrents that have been downloading slowly reporting different progress percentage to the actual amount on data downloaded for the file.

The issue with the latest torrent, 1.5Gb total size: Shows in status, Downloaded: 500Mb (300Mb) but only 9% progress. I forced a recheck at which point it reported progress to be 0%. To fix this I removed the torrent leaving the data, added it again at which point Deluge checked it and reported the more accurate 27% progress and continued to download.

I have not seen this for a while but turbozinc post on my thread in the forum that he was experiencing the same with 1.2.2. It seems to affects torrents over 1GB in size

Am I right if I say that this happens if you stop deluge-daemon prior to pause a torrent? I wouldn't be wrong, but I noticed this issue when I reboot the machine and the daemon was stopped during poweroff operations. Again, I don't want to confuse things, as I am sure that this happens with torrentflux, but I think I have seen the same with deluge. Hope it helps, and I am not adding much more confusion.

What filesystem is in use for these downloads?

[maxadamo]

Ok. I used xfs and now ext4 and most probably I was wrong (I said that I was unsure). Linux uses sparse files and this kind of problem, may happen only in windows. Right?

Has this been confirmed to still be an issue with the latest master?

if this issue comes from version 1.2.1, and we come accross version 1.2.3, it won't be a stopper (or a milestone) for version 1.3.0 (as it wasn't a stopper for 1.2.3). Furthermore, if you are knocking the ticket issuer, and you're not getting any answer what can we do? My two cent: forget it (for now) and give 1.3.0 packaged to the masses ^_ cheers. Massimiliano

This is not a Windows issue. I am experiencing this problem with 1.23 on a seedbox with simfs. The server is runing Ubuntu 8.04 so I can't use the up-to-date PPA binaries, so I compiled this from source. I was also getting it with 1.21. I haven't compiled 1.30 yet so I don't know if its still a current problem.
