    d0c 54v4g3 - 2004-10-31

    Hi everyone,

    As promised for this weekend here is the latest build of the tweaked version of g3:

    http://preducer.org/g3torrent

    All the latest features are listed on the page above with a link to the binary at the bottom of the page (thanks for the hosting again preducer). 

    I'm actually already working on the next version as I type...  This version will concentrate on the super seeding function and increased support for the Asian language.  I will try and add anything else I can from the todo list when I get the time.

    If anyone finds any bugs please make sure to mention that it is tweaked version 0.3 when you are posting.

    Much thanks to all of the beta testers that helped with this version.

    d0c

        Hey growery,

        A bug! NOOO!  Heh... well there was bound to be one or two.  ;-)   What I need to know is what you were doing when you got this bug and if you can repeat it...

        As for releasing the source - I was hoping that germz would merge the changes into the next official version and release the source that way.  If this doesn't happen I will release the source on the tweaked download page.

          Ah... I found it... my bad - It's a unicode problem with the double click on a non-enlish named file.  If you drag and drop the file into g3 for now and I will update the build as soon as I can.

      about his tweak thing, why don't you start our own project to make this, would be great, if the creator of g3 agree.

        "creator" doesn't have to agree to a start of a new project based on this source.
        as a matter of fact he has no say in anything that is going on w/ the source becuase he released it under MIT license.

      an old rc1 bug still present
      on double click on torrent loaded in g3
      the first time it opens the popup details window
      if the window is closed on double click nothing happens anymore

      the idea for an income folder icon shortcut is great btw ;)
      keep up the good job d0c

        Hey aretecte,

        I'll get right on it - expect a fix in the next release (hopefully sometime in the next week or so).  If you can think of any other bugs that I've missed from the original RC1 can you post them here.

        Thanks man

      Can you please tell me in which files it counts the num of errors connecting and decides to stop the torrent?

      Thanks.

        Hi growery,

        I'm not sure exactly what you mean.  Can you expand on your question more?

      Does this version support the Compact Protocol yet (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BitTorrent/message/5503)?

      I am getting more and more trackers complaining about this.

       
      • d0c 54v4g3

        d0c 54v4g3 - 2004-11-01

        Hi Russo,

        Do you have any URL's for the trackers complaining about g3 not having the compact tracker protocol?  Once I have a known tracker that gives g3 this error I can work on a fix for it.

        Thanks

        d0c

      Hey doc,

      first do a search in this forum about compact protocol, some questions have already been asked in the past.

      I'm talking about the source files.

      Which of those files controls and counts the errors that the client receives when it tries to connect to the tracker and then stop them.

      If you get error from the tracker 5 times torrent is stopped.

        d0c 54v4g3 - 2004-11-01

        Hi growery,

        that type of error is controlled/counted within g3torrent.py in the 'OnError' method.

        If you want to know anything else can you start a new thread in the forums as this is off topic for this thread.

        Thanks

      sure thing d0c
      heres a small recap of all the bugs that i found in g3
      some of them might have been resolved already

      ####
      just noticed that 'on completion options' keep reseting themselves
      it happens after certain period of time on all active torrents
      hence i think its not a torrent error but it is program dependent
      ####

      ####
      the program window disappeared
      the process is running fine, the traffic is made but the program window vanished
      now it would be fine if the icon in tray was still there to bring it back up
      but when program is maximised that icon vanishes too
      the only way to bring it up again without loosing the jobs
      is to add a new torrent...
      maybe it would be better if that tray icon stays there all the time
      ####

      ####
      i cant seem to get rid of the last nameless column 
      in any of the windows - it seems to be fixed
      to some large size above 150 pixels...hence horizontal sliders everywhere for no reason
      yet no horisontal slider in messages tab where its most needed
      ####

      ####
      applying options to selected multiple torrents in the list doesnt work
      usually it applies the options only to one of the torrents selected
      for example multiple pause>resume does not work  
      select a few working torrents and pause them
      then resume them all - only one resumes 
      have to stop them and loose all the connections to resume them
      ####

      and heres a recap of all the suggestions/requests that i made
      you are a guy who likes to have many detailed options
      i like that too so you might find something interesting here:

      ####
      can we have Reverse DNS and Show Flags independent from each other?
      i prefer to see the real ip and the flag
      while now if i turn off reverse dns i loose the flags too
      and if i turn the flags on i loose the real ip
      ####

      ####
      Downloading Profiles:  
      say you download from three sites and they all have different policy
      about downloads, times, sharing etc
      how about having downloading profiles
      that you can preconfigure with their 'on completion' settings, choker, rate and connection settings
      and instead of setting each file manualy
      you can just rightclick - set profile>1 or 2 or whatever
      or instead of numbers we could even have profile names
      heck - if on grabbing a torrent from the brouser
      the program can grab referers url
      all this can be done fully automatically
      ####

      ####
      emulePlus just got super sleek flags  
      they look really nice
      any chance for changing the current g3 flags with these?
      ####

      ####
      Horisontal Scroll Bar In Messages Tab:  
      not much of a hassle i hope - i just want to be able
      to scroll to see the whole error message instead of
      maximising and restoring the whole program window all the time 
      some scroll bars would be good for the details tab too
      because when the window is below 640x480 it all
      starts to disappear overlaped one behind the orther
      ####

      ####
      Autocheck for new version
      ####

      ####
      can we have a manual scrape option
      so that we could know at any moment how many seeders there are left while we are seeding?
      any chance of displaying them with their ips in the status pane?
      ####

      ####
      all adsl and cable people have the same problem
      their connection is shared
      and in peek hours its sometimes 
      half of what it is the rest of the time 
      so heres an idea - a complex scheduler
      that would change a few connection settings
      for all working torrents at certain days and hours 
      the connection settings are the most sensitive to it
      and the max connections can overload your pipe
      very easily if they are not set according 
      to the current speed you have
      therefore at peak hours the settings i have
      choke my connection overloading it
      and i correct them manualy to reach 
      the optimal speed again 
      but that can be automated and the speeds would
      stay at max full time just by scheduling it :)
      i just thought that if we can have a scheduler
      that keeps settings per torrent would be enough to achieve that
      ####

      ####
      remove - all options in submenu:
      lets cut the clicks to 2 - rightclick>select in submenu 
      right now we have 5 clicks: rightclick>[popup]select remove>select option>apply to all>ok
      all we need is 3 submenu options for remove:
      - .torrent
      - file
      - both
      ####

      ####
      now if you manage to add a 'toggle icon bar' too it would be fantastic :) 
      talking about the icons...i think it would be better to have
      a 'toggle tab pane' icon next to the 'toggle splitter' icon 
      one more thing - how about leaving the tray icon
      to stay in tray even in maximised program window?
      just taking a look at those traffic bars would replace the graph window that we can toggle out now 
      if you decide to keep the tray icon on it would be great if you
      add speed controls to it in right click drop down menu like it is in emule plus
      im sure this would help all the net gamers a lot
      with easy control of their traffic
      heres what the menu is like in emule plus 
      http://mathias.rousseau.free.fr/peer_to_peer/tutoriaux/emule_plus/images/task_bar_menu.gif
      ####

      ####
      heres an idea - how about putting all the info from the tab pane
      in that 'progress dialog' that shows up on double click on a specific listed torrent? 
      it has already the status info there - you could just add the details, graph and messages tabs to it
      this way all the messages stay together for each torrent
      and we can monitor its specific traffic in its own traffic bar
      now it wont be just a 'progress dialog' but a real 'details' window :) 
      since this window goes to tray too
      it would make it easier for people used to other bt clients
      with similar window system
      when they switch to g3 ;)
      ####

      ####
      a few small feature requests:

      tray icon:
      - the icon to stay in tray even in maximised program window
      - traffic bars color control
      - tooltip control - could display speeds, completion percents, time left, friendly ips online popup

      main window:
      - icon control - to choose what icons to show or to turn off the whole icons bar
      - advanced/simple view - the lower window frame is not always needed
      - arrangement control of the order of the columns
      - files arrangement / priority to be column controlled too [ie click on size to make bigger/smaller download first]
      - messages background color control - server errors, file errors, bans...

      overall:
      - keyboard shortcut commands / command lines
      - automatic local network ip binding
      - total speed control menu item on tray - use full speed / leave for other applications - this also can be set to autodetect when computer/connection is idle

      also when i add a new torrent with many files i dont necessarily want every time to choose in that popup window the file order preference

      one other thig - since now we have frindly/banned ips it would be good to have a ban message sent to the banned ip and a custom message to send at will to friendly ips [ie 'i will reboot - brb in 10']
      ####

      keep up the good work! :)
