How to properly seed torrents & maintain a session

[tatsuhiro-t]

How did you add torrent download via rpc? There are possible scinarios: (1) the http link to .torrent file, (2) torrent file upload (3) magnet link.

By the way, if I can't connect to trackers via udp, does it mean I'm not connected to as many peers as I could be?

It is because aria2 does not support udp tracker.

I noticed that "check-unverified" in your config but there is no such option in aria2. aria2 ignores these lines so it is not the cause of this issue though.

Could you check that console output of aria2 by running it in foreground (not daemon mode)? If it is seeding something, it shows "SEED" there.

I add magnet links and .torrent via simple link (without downloading them first and uploading a file to aria). There is output for all the jobs in the console.

I'll check pure rpc for all the jobs, because webui is throwing some errors.

[farnoy]

I'm confused, the RPC returns 5 jobs with proper data, but earlier, before this problem, webui showed 2 jobs for every torrent (one for metadata, one for actual download). Right now I can see only metadata jobs in webui, so there's probably a problem on it's side.

[tatsuhiro-t]

I think uploading torrent only shows one actual download, without metadata.

So you saw aria2 was working fine and seeding all downloads but somehow you didn't show all of them in webui?

[farnoy]

Yes, it seeds fine but only the metadata is visible in the webui.

[farnoy]

I've set -j 200 and I see more output in the webui now, but still only metadata is visible, even though it shows seeding in the CLI.

[farnoy]

Ok it was a webui problem, it was fixed in the upstream.

Good, let's close this issue.
