I can suspend seeding by right clicking on the icon in the system tray. But when I try to restart seeding by right clicking on that icon nothing happens. I then restore ktorrent in its window and right click "Start" or "Force Start". Nothing happens. I kill ktorrent and restart it and it is not seeding. If I then right click "Start" or "Force Start" nothing happens. The app never crashes, but it never resumes seeding. My first attempt to fix it was to replace the entire ~/.local/share/ktorrent/ folder with a backup. But that didn't work. Next I restored from a backup the ~/.config/ktorrentrc file and ktorrent worked as desired. In the following "diff" command, I named the file that doesn't work ktorrent.problems and the one that works kept its proper name. Using "meld" shows that the lines referring to suspend are in the section called [QueueManager], and the line describing the state is in the section called [TrackerView]. I've added the section names to the output of "diff". [ed@arch /working]# diff ktorrentrc.problems ~/.config/ktorrentrc 42,43c42 [QueueManager] < suspended=true < suspended_torrents=99016b8d8b5a44c64955dbd337259b3b18430fc4 --- > suspended=false 66c65 [TrackerView] < state=AAAA/wAAAAAAAAABAAAAAQAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA3UAAAAGAQEAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAgQAAAAAAAAAGAAABgQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAD6AA= --- > state=AAAA/wAAAAAAAAABAAAAAQAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABEUAAAAGAQEAAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAgQAAAAAAAAAGAAABgQAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAAAZAAAAAEAAAAAAAABNAAAAAEAAAAAAAAD6AA= So evidently ktorrent is not changing the state of the torrent when I try to do so using the system tray icon. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. has happened both times I tried it, as described above in details. 2. 3. as mentioned, restoring the ~/.config/ktorrentrc from a backup enables ktorrent to work again correctly. By the way, I am almost positive this happened the first time using ktorrent 4.x and the system tray icon. The 5.0 version just hit the repository yesterday. today's configuration plasmashell --version plasmashell 5.6.2 ktorrent --version ktorrent 5.0.1 uname -sr Linux 4.5.0-1-ARCH A note regarding severity as requested below: I don't know if this rates as normal or minor. The workaround is easy if the user figures out what file to restore and has a backup or, possibly, edits the ktorrentrc file. I didn't try editing the file. But that doesn't seem like something you would want most users to have to do.
Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version? If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!
I cannot reproduce the problem. It seems to be solved. I was able to suspend torrents from the system tray icon by checking "Suspend Torrents." I was able to resume torrents by removing the checkmark. I am not using Arch Linux right now, so the situation is not exactly the same as before.
