Auto-resume of torrents paused by tracker errors
I've noticed over the last few days that the nightlies have changed in the way that they handle tracker errors.
Transmission used to display the error, but the torrent would remain active, and would eventually resume downloading/uploading a few minutes later when the tracker error was resolved.
The latest nightlies don't do this, instead, they seem to pause the torrent when they encounter a tracker error, and don't resume it, even if the tracker error had been resolved many hours ago.
This ends up quite inconvenient when I leave torrents downloading unattended for long periods of time, just to come back and find that my torrents have been stopped.
Any input guys?

Still a problem
I don't know if this exactly the same problem but my router periodically restarts itself and Transmission pauses the downloads saying tracker error but does not resume them even though the connection is only down for at most a minute. It would be cool if it kept reattempting connection.
*correction
It doesn't pause them they just don't carry on downloading and need to be manually paused and resumed
Re: Still a problem
I have exactly the same problem. I think that incorporate an auto-pause/auto-resume in a certain hour defined by user would result. My router restarts twice a day...Davidr wrote:I don't know if this exactly the same problem but my router periodically restarts itself and Transmission pauses the downloads saying tracker error but does not resume them even though the connection is only down for at most a minute.

I have the exact same problem as DavidR. Please fix it at the earliest. Its unfortunate that such a problem exists.

Re: Auto-resume of torrents paused by tracker errors
if they have not done it in a year, what will they do now?

the person you are talking to is one of the "they" you are talking about ; )ChrisCairns wrote:if they have not done it in a year, what will they do now?
If this thread is one year old means that not much people want it, or it is mostly already fixed
Also the respone of livings124 (please send a patch) is because they don't like it when people think they can demand them to quickly do something because they want it quick. So it is logic to say if you want it that quick make a patch yourself [it is open source so you can make something yourself that helps it]. They do it for free and for helping other people, they don't like people demanding things ; )
