    <p>I'm experimenting with BitTornado-0.3.17 to distribute a file to several machines (*nix). I ran into couple of problems while doing so. Here is what I have done so far.</p> <ol> <li>Download BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz from <a href="http://download2.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz" rel="nofollow">http://download2.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz</a> and untar it.</li> <li>Created a torrent file and started tracker following instructions in the README file.</li> <li>Started a seeder </li> </ol> <blockquote> <pre><code>./btdownloadheadless.py ../BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz.torrent --saveas ../BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz </code></pre> <blockquote> <pre><code>saving: BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz (0.2 MB) percent done: 0.0 time left: Download Succeeded! download to: /home/srikanth/BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz download rate: upload rate: 0.0 kB/s share rating: 0.000 (0.0 MB up / 0.0 MB down) seed status: 0 seen recently, plus 0.000 distributed copies peer status: 0 seen now, 0.0% done at 0.0 kB/s </code></pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <ol> <li><p>Now we have a seeder. I start a peer on another machine to download BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz.</p> <p>./btdownloadheadless.py BitTornado-0.3.17.tar.gz.torrent</p></li> </ol> <p>At this point I do not observer my peer to download data from seeder. However if I kill my seeder and start again, the peer immediately downloads from the seeder. Why is it happening this way? The first time seeder reports tracker, tracker should be aware of the seeder and share that information to newly joined peer. Its happening only when I start seeder after peer joins the network. </p> <p>Has anyone used BitTornado to distribute files programmatically (not using GUI tools at all.) ?</p> <p>Thanks :-)</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Here is what happened a few days later. I dig into tracker logs and figure that seeder is binding itself onto a private ip address interface and reporting it. It is causing other clients to not reach seeder. hence no download. So I passed --ip options to it, which made it to report the tracker the machine's public ip address to which it bound. Even then for some reason i couldn't get client to download from seeder. However I got it working by starting client first and seeder last. This worked for me consistently. I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work the other way. So, I'm starting clients first and then starting seeder.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
