*NEW* rtorrent 0.2.7 && libtorrent 0.6.7

just add this. 

[truthe]
Server = http://reikop.farvista.net/truthe/

packages were taken from http://starcrow.starzinger.net/~vidvandre/arch/

but i dislike having to check the site periodically for updates which i'm sure some people will sympathize with, so i put together this repository.

in my opinion, the fastest, most efficient bittorrent client made.

The server seems to be down. Bummer, I was looking forward to getting my rtorrent on.

Awesome. Newer versions would be nice, but just getting it installed is marvelous.

Re: *NEW* rtorrent 0.2.7 && libtorrent 0.6.7

its still marked as unstable. that doesnt count.
btw this issue with rtorrent & 2.6.19 kernel is very serious at least more serious than i ever suspected. it used to be only a few kbs found as bad. i just downloaded a 42mb torrent out of which 16mb (36%) was found bad. hope it gets fixed soon..

Mounting ext3 partitions with data=writeback seems to work for me.  It is also said to be the fastest data option wink

Re: *NEW* rtorrent 0.2.7 && libtorrent 0.6.7

This business with "bad chunks found on download completion blah blah" is a reported bug, right? It's not something wrong with my system?

Re: *NEW* rtorrent 0.2.7 && libtorrent 0.6.7

its a known issue

Failed chunks with kernel 2.6.19 ¶

Linux version 2.6.19 appears to have a bug in the synching of mmapped files, leading to large numbers of failed chunks when downloading a torrent. Using rTorrent with kernel 2.6.19 is not recommended, but if an earlier kernel version is not an option, make sure to enable the "check_hash" option and manually restart torrents until all chunks pass the hash check.

thx for the tip Leffe i'll try it

Re: *NEW* rtorrent 0.2.7 && libtorrent 0.6.7

So this isn't going to be fixed by upgrading rtorrent, but by getting a newer kernel? Damn.

Yes, and it happens on all filesystems, not just ext3.
Only ext3 with data=writeback is not affected.

yeah, the safest way is ext3 with data=journal (of course starting from 2.6.20 when that corruption bug is fixed) - the only filesystem that does metadata and data journaling.
Though it seems obviously slower, but there are reports from kernel devs (IIRC, Andrew Morton too) that it is faster than data=ordered in some cases (mail spools etc).

Anyway the safest way is ext3 on RAID5 with data=journal and with journal on separate RAID0+1  8)  lol

It still happens, just not as often and as much.
