Hi, great job! It works very well on my nslu2 device, but I've experienced some problems using it with lighttpd + php. it Seems to refuse to analyze (maybe some limitations of php) enhanced-ctorrent BIG .stat files, as I can see, enhanced-ctorrent doesn't overwrite the "log"(.stat) file but simply adds new lines to it, increasing the filesize, the result on my webserver is that the dyn_progress.php refuses to load the $(torrent_file).stat, maybe the file is too big (when I've experienced this problem the log file is about 11MB). dyn_stopped.php has the same problem. I found a symply workaround that you can add to your project if you want, simply add this few lines to dyn_progress.php: (it makes on every dyn_progress.php loading a "tail" of current $(torrent_file).stat overwriting every old "tail" maked, with this workaround the filesize will not execeed few KB, so dyn_progress.php/dyn_stopped.php is able to load it)

if( isRunning(substr($file,0,strlen($file)-4)) ){^M
    $filenames=array();
    $filenames[] = substr( $file,0,strlen($file)-3 );
    foreach ($filenames as $val){
      $cmdtail="/usr/bin/tail ". $download_path . $val . "stat > ". $download_path . $val ."stat.tail";
      exec($cmdtail);
    }
    $stats[] = substr( $file,0,strlen($file)-3 ) ."stat.tail";
}

and this line to dyn_stopped.php :

if (substr(strtolower($file), -4)=="stat.tail")

Hope this solution can help someone,

Who want can download directly patched files (dyn_progress.php and dyn_stopped.php) from here: http://www.alexworld.it/files/torrential-fixedfiles.tar

I've also experienced that on slow device like my 'nslu2' after many hours seeding/downloading with enhanced-ctorrent when the log-file reaches very big size (about 1gb), the 'tail' of the .stat file begin very difficult, so I've thinked another possible workaround completely resetting the .stat file only when .stat file has excedeed a size of 50MB (you can edit it as you want). This will overwrite with no data the current .stat file and will print the current stats for the torrent file.

if( isRunning(substr($file,0,strlen($file)-4)) ){
$filenames=array();
$filenames[] = substr( $file,0,strlen($file)-3 );
foreach ($filenames as $val){
$fsize=exec("ls -s ".$download_path.$val."stat");
$fsize=explode(" ",$fsize);
if ($fsize[0]>52428800){
exec("echo >".$download_path.$val."stat");
sleep(8); // give time to ctorrent to re-populate .stat file
}
$cmdtail="/usr/bin/tail ". $download_path . $val . "stat > ". $download_path . $val ."stat.tail";
exec($cmdtail);
}
$stats[] = substr( $file,0,strlen($file)-3 ) ."stat.tail";
}

the above download link for tar-file is upgraded with new patches, if you don't want them, simply comment them out! :-)

Byebye,

I find that torrential is very slow...it's a problem of mine?

I use the server on a moded Maxtor Shared Storage II. It runs fine apart from the fact that once the .stat files get really big (after a few minutes) it slows down considerably apart from the space problem. The clearing facility in the script that deletes the .stat files after they get bigger than some MBs doesn't work, and not even external cron scripts do, since the Torrential scripts open the .stat files in create mode. I changed the create operator ">" to append ">>" in inc_functions.php and now both the internal as well as external clearing scripts ( echo > ${statfile}) work.

Experienced slowdowns as others have. In looking at the

"if ($fsize0?>52428800){"

it appears that the size is too large, at least it is for me on my nslu2 running unslung. I ran the ls -s manually and I believe it's outputting the file size in kb so if the statement is compared as above, it's 52 gig. It should be something like "if ($fsize0?>52429){"

I'm not experienced in php or linux for that matter, I can just say making this change worked for me, the .stat file resets at 50mb now.

Also, I have included the changes suggested by both Alessandro and tsouap, this is the only thing that I changed that's different. Working fine for me now. Don't know if unslung is reporting size differently than other releases.

Thanks guys - and sorry for being so late. all fixes are in the archive and svn

Hi, i installed everything as told.. i did this 2 times, because i messed a little bit with my slug..

i am wondering becouse all 2 times i get the same problem. i see the torrent, when i click on start, it says "starting torrent" and thats it.. nothing more happens.. the download progress does'nt start.. i have absolutly no clue...
