TTH Inconsistency, Status & Finished Downloads

Asked by Lzr

After upgrading from v0.699 to 0.706 I have some problems:

First I noticed that there was a new feature in town called segmented download. This is not a bad thing in itself, but I hated that evey tiny segment reported as the file being downloaded in the "finished download" view, thus making it impossible to keep track of the downloads by sifting through the downloads through dc++. So I turned it off!!

Now:
I'm getting TTH inconsistency status from quite a few users. This was not a problem util I did the upgrade. What also annoys me is that I'm unable to see which file this is. On earlier versions, I could see which file was quequed for download from a particular user. This is now gone. If I'm quick about it, I may catch a glimpse of which file this is, but this alone makes me want to downgrade.

The other thing that's really confusing is that I'm getting TTH inconsistency on files with only 1 source. How's that possible ? This must be some kind of bug.

That being said, I think 0.706 seems very stable. No more crashes... atleast no for me. But please make the looks and feels of it even more like v0.699.

Regards.
Lzr.

This is solved, won't be like this in the next release.

Will the inconsistency errors gone if you re-enable segmential downloads?

TTH inconsistencies can happen when a problem occurs during the transfer of the file; if the file you get in the end isn't exactly identical to the one that was used to generate the original TTH tree, then there's your inconsistency. that being said, they are fairly rare and i have never encountered any myself.

there are a number of other reports in this forum claiming the same problem (random TTH inconsistencies after an upgrade); are you continuing with DC++ 0.706 downloads started with DC++ 0.699?

this should be fixed in the next version; see related bug linked to this question.

Yes. Re-enabling segmented downloads is a workaround for the problem.

I was initially continuing the downloads after upgrading, but even after dleting the partial downloaded file it's a no go. Sorry about the late follow ups.

Unfortunately if you upgraded from 0.699 and resumed some downloads with 0.706, there can be a problem with them. If they finished check if they are ok. From 0.707 this problem is solved, so if you have more waiting downloads that started with 0.699, they will correctly resumed with 0.707...

I know this is a old thread, but I have just the same problem with the TTH inconsistency now with DC++ 0.75.
It is sofar only one user I have this problem with, but I have deleted all the files and redownloaded them from HIS own filelist and I still get this message. I´m in DMZ so no router can fuck it up and I´ve tried all the tips found in the help.
Segmented downloading is enabled.

Any solution?

what have you tried exactly? generally, doing a "/rebuild" and/or right-clicking the file in the DL queue and running a "Recheck" should fix any wrongs.

Probably the same problem as https://answers.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+question/80939 Tell the user to rebuild his hashdata and your problem will be gone.

I´ve tried to find other sources, remove the user and the files and re-add them to the que.
I´ve tried to write /rebuild in the chat, but I guess it does not help me so I send a message to the other user to write /rebuild to, but haven´t got any answer from him.. Tried now to check in "don´t download files that already are in que" but didn´t change the problem, it just looks like it tries to start downloading every minute but gets the same message again and again. :S I hope the /rebuild for him works.
Nice forum BTW! Thanks for the fast answers :)
