I have a serious bug to report...

Whenever i start Halite, it uses the CPU extensively and consumes huge amounts of memory for some reason (see the images)
Moreover, i don't get the GUI at all.... not minimized, in the taskbar... nothing !

Halite is still opening an additional Port on the uPnP router, and failing to release it when closed.

FiOS Westell router/gateway.  Windows VISTA Ultimate.

It opens the one I manually select, but also opens one at random.



The two beginning "5" are the manual selection.  The one beginning "4" is opened by Halite, seemingly without being set.

On shut down, neither is released.

Downloads very fast, but there is fragmentation issue.
Downloaded a big 5.5 GB file. "Allocation mode" was set to "Full Allocation".
But the resulting file get more than 15000 fragments, which took more than 1 hour to defragment.
The system is Windows XP Professional SP3. I am using the 7z version without installation.

how is it possible??



ps: i have a question: why does the number of seeds appear only for torrents in download and not for the finished ones?

I set the "active seeds hard limit" to 3 and I disabled "don't count slow torrents", but it isn't working again.




and which is the difference between "seeding" and "completed"?

First off, just tried halite a few days ago and love it.  Thank You.

I've found a couple of very minor bugs.  The first is that when using the file view on a torrent it will not sort the files by size.  It seems like it wants to, and for a split second I can see the list sorted as requested, but it immediately switches back to being sorted by name.

The second is it creates folders and downloads files for things that are marked as "don't download" before the torrent is ever started.  Most of the files downloaded are small, but occasionally a 2GB file is downloaded despite being marked not to.

Here's another one:



..happened when I tried to remove torrent and data for two torrents simultaneously.
None of them had a long filename.

(WinXP Pro SP3)

I've been getting this error for a while with almost all of the torrents:

2010-Apr-22 09:41:58.817825 None, OS reported error for file 'S:/( TORRENTS )/***.flac'; *** file (S:/( TORRENTS )/***.flac) error: The system cannot read from the specified device ([b]Translated[/b])

2010-Apr-22 09:41:59 None, state() - in error

The error persists even after restarting Halite.

@ xacco: Did you check your HD for errors, recently? From the error, I can surmise this is some kind of writing-to-disk issue, so a check might come in handy to understand if it really is Halite's fault. An unsupported filesystem or simply data corruption might cause the above....can you please check?

I guess the best way to check the disc is through: Disc properties -> Tools -> Check errors.

Done and no errors found. Furthermore I have been using "bad utorrent" since these errors first appeared without problems. JDownloader doesn't seem to suffer from disc problems either.

Just in case you need the information: W7 (32bit) + NTFS

Will wait for a new version.

Thank you.

I got a pretty major and annoying one.  Due to it's nature, a screenshot really won't help.

First off, a torrent must be downloading or seeding.


Ok, basically if a torrent's data is on a drive that is not in the system at the time, those torrents listed will kind of freak out.  Their status will literally be blank, and you can't stop or pause them - you can only delete the torrent.  This is particularly bad if you had torrents downloading/seeding from your last session, because once you open Halite again, those torrents will get borked right away and you don't even have a chance to stop or pause them.


It would be REALLY great if they would just have a status of "drive missing" or something, and have the torrent be stopped.

EDIT: Got another one.  If you try to add a different torrent that uses the same name (NOT filename, but in-client name), it will either not add at all, or will add but start overwriting the other torrent's data files.  If you try to remove the second torrent, it will keep coming back.  If you try to remove the 1st torrent, then add the second, Halite will think you added the 1st torrent instead.

FIX: It turns out that in the "torrents" folder in the Halite directory, if you delete the torrent file that corresponds to the 1st torrent after removing it from Halite's in-program list, the 2nd torrent will be added successfully.

I got a bug here too. When I pause a torrent and try to resume the torrent with the ui button it won't start. But when I right click on the torrent to resume, it work. Have anyone else this problem?

Confirmed.
