  • when we have the whole torrent, there's no point talking to peers that also have the whole torrent and keep reconnecting to them.
  • per-file stats
  • [x (partial)] per-peer stats
  • use some concurrent hashmap e.g. flurry or dashmap
  • tracing instead of logging. Debugging peers: RUST_LOG=[{peer=.*}]=debug test-log for tests
  • reopen read only is bugged
  • initializing/checking
    • blocks the whole process. Need to break it up. On slower devices (rpi) just hangs for a good while
    • checking torrents should be visible right away
  • server persistence
    • it would be nice to restart the server and keep the state
  • torrent actions
    • pause/unpause
    • remove including from disk
  • DHT
    • bootstrapping is lame

    • many nodes in "Unknown" status, do smth about it

    • for torrents with a few seeds might be cool to re-query DHT once in a while.

    • don't leak memory when deleting torrents (i.e. remove torrent information (seen peers etc) once the torrent is deleted)

    • Routing table - is it balanced properly?

    • Don't query Bad nodes

    • [-] Buckets that have not been changed in 15 minutes should be "refreshed." (per RFC)

      • Did it, but it's flawed: starts repeating the same queries again as neighboring refreshes don't know about the other ones, and DHT returns the same nodes again and again.
    • it's sending many requests now way too fast, locks up Mac OS UI annoyingly

    • store peers sent to us with "announce_peer"

    • announced peers should be persisted

    • After the search is exhausted, the client then inserts the peer contact information for itself onto the responding nodes with IDs closest to the infohash of the torrent.

      To do this, a

    • Ensure that if we query the "returned" nodes, they are even closer to our request than the responding node id was.

incoming peers:

  • error managing peer: expected extended handshake, but got Bitfield(<94 bytes>)
  • do not announce when merely listing the torrent

someday:

  • cancellation from the client-side for the lib (i.e. stop the torrent manager)

  • favicons for Web UI

refactor:

  • session persistence: should add torrents even if we haven't resolved it yet

  • where are peers stored

  • http api pause/unpause etc

  • when a live torrent fails writing to disk, it should transition to error state

  • something is wrong when unpausing - can't finish. Recalculate needed/have from chunk tracker.

  • silence this: WARN torrent{id=0}:external_peer_adder: librqbit::spawn_utils: finished with error: no longer live

  • start from error state should be possible from UI

  • checking is very slow on raspberry checked. nothing much can be done here. Even if raspberry's own libssl.so is used it's still super slow (sha1)

  • .rqbit-session.json file has 0 bytes when disk full. I guess fs::rename does this when disk is full? at least on linux. Couldn't repro on MacOS
