Package: mutella
Version: 0.4.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
When getting files with "get" mutella will hang if I ask for too many
files. If I only ever ask for two files at a time it seems to be OK, but
I can easily nake it hang asking for 3 or more files at once.
For example, if I do "list" and find a list of 100 files, if I go
through them like this:
get 1 2
get 3 4
get 5 6
get 7 8
I can add files to download till the download list is full (64 files?).
If however I try:
get 1 2 3
get 4 5 6
get 7 8 9
or
get 1 2 3 4 5
get 6 7 8 9 10
get 11 12 13 14 15
get 16 17 18 19 20
I will be able to do this a few time and add a few files, but eventually
the client will not return from one of the "get" commands.
If you press return the screen scrolls up one line but you do not get
your > prompt back. I have tried leaving it for a long period of time
(i.e. a day) and it does not come back.
The only way to get out is to ^C it.
If I do an strace -p <PID>
The parent process is sitting there polling and the other processes are
all silent:
$ strace -p 24211
getppid() = 24210
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0
getppid() = 24210
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0
getppid() = 24210
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0
getppid() = 24210
poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 1, 2000) = 0
getppid() = 24210
If I ^C and restart mutella some AUTOGETs have been added,
I'm not sure if this includes files from the last get request though.
I'm not sure if it happens because it gets to 64 files in the queue,
but this may be related.
If this IS the reason it would seem that the client *should* realise
that you have asked to add too many files to the queue, give it's
"failed to start download of <file>" error message, and refuse to queue
more than 64 files, but not freeze.
This has been happening with earlier versions as well.
