enhanced-ctorrent stops download when SSH session closed :-(

[karlunge]

i have no problems with downloading.
but i mostly download old stuff / tv-series / ... from specialized trackers...

if you think you are banned try:
-P xxxx
this will fake the peer-id i suppose
a list of peer-ids you can find here:
http://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification#peer_id

i haven't tested it yet, but i think it works...

concerning -C 0 cache option:
i only have 32MB of RAM on my wl500gx. i don't want to fill up the whole RAM with cache. i have mostly up to 10 torrent in seeding mode and 3 in leeching mode.

http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=6161
i've also read from some Fritz-Box-Users who are disabling the cache because of performance reasons.
but i didn't really checked it.

i'm satisfied with my results, so i had no reason to change the parameters.

the only sad thing: i have to reboot the asus from time to time (about 1-2 times a week), because it is hanging.

maybe you should reboot your router to gain the same performance like 1st DL.

Majoka, all the processes started on Linux are started in tree like fashion. If you cut off a branch (close a program), all the sub-branches are cut off as well (all the programs started from or by the closed program are terminated as well). That is the reason ctorrent was killed when you logged off - you killed the dropbear session that started ctorrent.

What you do with the detach command in screen is, that you move the branch directly to the trunk, so it is not terminated, when the screen program or the dropbear session is closed.

Alternatively you can use the "nohup" command. Just prepend it to your regullar command line:
("nohup enhanced-ctorrent ...<what-ever-options-go-here>").
This starts the ctorrent client in background right away... And all the output is redirected to a file named nohup.out

Hi

i will try that peer-id fake option :-) I have downloaded the WTC
movie on my PC in 3h 30min. ROUTER could not download even a bit over the whole night. Do you guys know how can i QUIT enhanced-ctorrent with a normal command because if i press q nothing happens. I have to close the session/reboot router or power off, somthing like a normal quit would be good.

Hello majoka,

for quitting enhanced-ctorrent just Ctrl-C ONE time. then it is normally connecting to to the tracker and finishing work.

if it takes to long, press Ctrl-C again. This will quit ctorrent instant but untidy.


BTW. i have no Problems, with torrents taking more time on the router than on my PC because

1. i save Processortime and Networktraffic on my computer, so i can use it for my stuff.
2. router is running all the time - PC only on day (Noise)
3. router is consuming much less power than my PC
4. i have time - i don't have to have things instantly...

Hallo & thx.

I found a big problem!
My router is accesible from outside (WAN). If i type my IP address in IE browser
i m promted for a name & password with a host name Asus WL500Gp but the access from wan is disabled in the router settings. Can it be the work of this SSH deamon ? How can is disable this ?? Pls help.

my router is accessable too from internet - but i want that. so i can control my downloads from outside (i.e. from work).

in your case i would try:
1. to enable the WAN-LAN-Filter and DROP all connections to 192.168.1.1 or at least all connections to the Ports 22 (ssh) 23 (telnet) 80 (http)
OR
2. enable NAT and forward Port 22/23/80 to a non-existing IP-Adress in your LAN

i have not tried it - but it should work.

greetings
