Bittorrent can't load fastresume data

[gleadhach]

Hi there guys and gals.

I am noticing that bittorrent is checking files when it starts and have found this to be in the activity log:

[2007-06-09 15:38:57]  -- BitTorrent started -- 
[2007-06-09 15:38:59] "Fedora-7-i386" : Could not load fastresume data: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1180638857.0' Will perform full hash check.

I am only seeding the torrent, like I have done with previous Fedora Core torrents, but I have never encountered this before, previously the seeding would start immediately when bittorrent starts up. Any suggestions as to what is causing this?

Anyone? (shamelessly bumping this back to the front page).

I got the same problem. It is very annoying. seems something wrong with Python.

I installed Transmission, seems to be working okay, still doesn't answer what the problem is with bittorrent though.

Here is a hack to solve this problem:

change file /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/Storage.py
modify line 216

str(os.path.getmtime(filename)) + '\n')

to

str(int(os.path.getmtime(filename))) + '\n')

remove the binaries
rm /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/Storage.pyo
rm /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/Storage.pyc

Had to use this again today.. Still works! Just edit the file and restart bittorrent and no more errors!

Thanks!!
