Have you restarted joal after modifing the config?
I did that, yeah.
Ticking in the box, it won't seed when there are no peers too.
Can you send me an email at : joal.contact@gmail.com
and tell me which OS you are on? I'll tell you what to do next.
I did yesterday, what do I do next?
I'm answering you by mail right now ;)
Do you think we could change this by adding bad hashes? Randomly generated maybe up to 2% depending on torrent size? 1 GB may have like 8 mb failed hashes, 200 GB may have round 34 MB has failed
In JavaScript (math.Random)?
(I'm talking in terms of failing to download?)
I'm sorry but i'm not sure what you're asking about. JOAL is not downloading anything it just "seed". Where do you want to add random download error?
Many clients report the amount of downloaded data that failed a hash check and was discarded separate from real download, e.g. the "corrupt" parameter in uTorrent and qBittorrent. Spidtest and me were talking about this in another thread (see https://www.sb-innovation.de/showthread.php?p=349527 onwards) and he pointed out that always reporting 0 corrupt bytes, as all mods and tools are currently hardcoded to do, could be a detection vector (if an unlikely one). So the ability to report a non-zero amount of corrupt data would look more realistic in comparison.
With that said, if that is implemented, care must be taken to see exactly how clients report corrupt data (byte per byte, multiple of piece size or multiple of 16384) and do it identically, lest this feature increase your chances of getting caught.
Ok, i see.
Sadly, this would required a huge refactor to be implemented properly, i don't think that i would ever make it.
Hey,
I appreciate the work!
I am also having trouble with torrents disappearing, even those with peers. 0 set as the Min/Max for uploading and "Keep seeding..." enabled.
Running on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon (4.0.8) in a virtual box vm.
Any advice on identifying why this is happening?
Hi ungodly :) thanks for your support.
This may happen if joal fails to contact the tracker too many times in a row. Are you sure these torents still exists on the tracker? And are you sure that the client you have selected in joal is alowed by your tracker?
Yes and yes.
IPTorrent, Deluge (1.3.15)
I restart my vm and re-add the torrents and its fine. Tracker shows torrents as seeding. Issue is that they eventually disappear.
Also note, I am running the latest PIA VPN client.
hello.
i have install the joal desktop v 2.0 and i added torrent file.
now its running but upload speed is 0.
using qbittorent 4.1.5 and "keep seeding..." is on.
what is the problem?
thanks.

I can see two cases then :
- The torrent disapear in the 10 seconds after that you've added it. This case would required more investigations to find out what's going on.
- The torrents randomly disapears after a random amount of time and they most likely disappear all at once (or with a short delay one after another). This means that either the tracker is down and joal can't announce for multiple times in a raw. The VPN tunnel has dropped the connection and joal cannot announce either. It sometimes happen with my VPN as well.
Yep makes sense. As a safety measure joal disable upload if there is 0 seeders OR 0 leechers on a torrent (the two digits on the left of the torrent bar). In your case both are 0. If you want to generate some seed traffic use newer or more active torrents.
The Option "keep seeding..." is to instruct JOAL to keep a torrent when there are zero peers (otherwise it will automatically delete it. It's usefull if you want to earn bonus point.
i downloaded another torrent file with seeders and yet no upload speed.
"keep seeding..." is on.
i tryed to set it off but the torrent disapear.

Hi,
As i said
Joal will generate seed only if there are seeders AND leechers.Quote:
As a safety measure joal disable upload if there is 0 seeders OR 0 leechers on a torrent
If you were to generate seed on a torrent with no leechers (people who download) it would be suspicious
If you were to generate seed on a torrent where you are the only one who share (the seeder) but nobody can actually download because joal is used to send fake data, it would be also suspicious.
Joal only generate seed when you are "hidden in the crowd".
Can I please have torrent client for - qbittorrent-4.1.6
man JOAL is awesome, thx
@anthony-joal - I would like to change the speeds of a few torrents from all the torrents i have added to joal desktop. I'm unable to do this. Is it possible to change the speed settings of each torrent in joal?
@anthony-joal - My internet connection is not stable and it disconnects/reconnects often. Idk why but something happens and the torrents stop seeding in joal. Joal will still be running but when i check the tracker it shows i'm seeding nothing. Do you know why this happens? On mratio the torrents start re-announcing when i reconnect to the internet.
@H265 hello,
When joal fails to announce multiple times in a raw it moves the torrents to the archive folder.
When th etorrtents does not appears on the tracker, are th torrents files still in joal-conf/torrents or have they been moved automatically to joal-conf/torrents/archived?
I don't really understand how AppImage works internally, it's just a convenient way of releasing Linux-ish version of Joal.
If you are looking for the torrents and the joal-core binary you wil find them in : ~/.config/JoalDesktop/joal-core/
Unfortunatelly there is no way to tweak the system to prevent joal from removing the torrents if it faisl to announce multiple times in a raw nor there is one to re-add the removed torrent automatically
Hello, Can I please have torrent client for - µTorrent 2.x?
Hello, I just installed JoalDesktop on my mac OS Catalina (1015)
The program opens correctly
When I go to my torrents downloads account to see my ratio I do not see any dramatic change.
The settings are 30/170/20 (seed simulator)
I use Deluge 1.3.15
Do I miss something ?
Again thanks you because I did not managed to install RatioMaster and I finally found JoalDesktop. Attachment 20243
Hi Anthony, Thank you so much for your efforts on building this tool. Especially given that we can use it for MAC, there aren't many that work with mac. As for your decision to keep the basic settings and simple to use its perfectly alright. One can't expect every tool to do everything for everyone. This is great work.
I have just 1 query. I know you have explicitly called out that original client and Joal shouldn't be running together. Would you advice the same thing even if the torrent files in Joal and Original client are different ?
The reason I ask this is everytime I need to download something for real, I would want to remember to stop and close Joal and then vice versa.
Eitherways, thanks again, I hope trackers don't detect it.
Likely yes, since even if the client you're using (and emulating in JOAL) uses an individual peer_id and key, the port number will differ.
Note that you can run both programs at the same; most trackers won't even notice, plus there are legitimate reasons to seed from multiple clients in the same computer. It's just not recommended, because as a cheater you want to blend in, not stand out.
I noticed an aberration when checking for active torrents on a tracker. There was duplicate entries on same torrent from different IPs. i.e. all of the torrents that I was seeding were showing twice. As soon as I realzed I stopped the seeding. I didn't notice it earlier. Not sure what must have happened.
An aberration :gew:
Any chances your IP simply changed in the middle of the session? I once wrote a script that runs in the background and warns you when that happens.
Attachment 16830
I doubt if my IP changed. After I resumed seeding it picked up correct IP and duplication was no longer visible.
Also I suppose, if IP changes, it would change for last few digits. This was a very different IP altogether.
The IP change link is Windows only :frown: Days of Windows were so nice.
Hi colousit thanks for your feedback :)
The double / seed is indeed weird. Anon's should be right, the tracker may have registered two differents IPs. I'd lik to mention that the IP can change completly between two attributions it's not just a matter of one or two digits nor it is of range (event if there is some kind of a range but....).
One can have 2.15.45.32 and claim another IP two sec latter an end up with 96.48.128.205.
This is such a ridiculously well made tool! I've been using the CLI version for a while now. I use it on my seedbox when I don't want to keep several 100 GB torrent files real-seeding and taking space. Good job!
This script should output all IPv4 address blocks owned by your ISP. It's simple enough to probably work on the Mac OS terminal too.
Code:#!/bin/sh
IP=$(wget -q -O - http://ipcheck1.jdownloader.org/)
AS=$(wget -q -O - https://ipinfo.io/$IP/org | cut -f 1 -d " ")
wget -q -O - https://stat.ripe.net/data/announced-prefixes/data.yaml?min_peers_seeing=0&resource=$AS | grep prefix\: | grep -v \:\: | awk '{print $3}'
Hello, my torrents are getting all archived after a while. I suppose it's because announcing is failing. My area has a lot of power surges and internet blackouts lately. Can you make an option in the app to change this behavior? This is relly frustrating.
Hello,
I'm curently rewriting the whole project in another language, the feature you asks is already implemented in this new version, torrents won't go away on errors out network failures, they'll be set a zero speed until a successfull announce occurs again.
But i'm not quite done yet, i expect the new version to be out in the next few months.
