Autopush Problems
« on: December 11, 2009, 08:52:22 pm »
I'm having this problem with the Autopush feature when the scheduler is used. Basically, it doesn't work. My client starts with no limit when it should have a limit. I have to turn off scheduler and turn it back on. It seems to not register it as being pushed when the client starts, even though the icon is lit up. Perhaps it needs a short delay or something? Maybe I am the only one with this issue.

I'm using 0.31.3. I also have it push the connect and current version buttons. Perhaps this combination is causing problems, but I tried without the other two and scheduler still didn't work. I did notice what appeared to be another possible bug. My client auto connected without the auto connect autopush option selected. Perhaps there is another connection option elsewhere that effects this. I don't know.

On my client, these two things are bugs, but it might just be me.

It is nice that you can confirm at least one, so I know it is not just me. However, I still have a problem with it auto connecting even when it is not selected. I looked around and couldn't find another connected feature, so I don't know. My client connects on it's own and starts downloading from my queue, even when I tell it not to autopush the auto connect button.

the problem is not caused by the connect option, but the schedueler. the scheduler autoconnects, but since it doesn't limit correctly disable the scheduler and the client won't autoconnect.

Ah.. Not saying I like that the scheduler can connect the client as well, but it makes sense I suppose. I was treating the scheduler like it is in most other programs, a set limit for certain times. Like it can stop connections, but it doesn't automatically make them, it just limits them. I now see that this one can control connections as well, so it automatically assumes you want to be connected as long as the scheduler isn't set to otherwise. I think at one point I had the client disconnected and it reconnected itself later (Perhaps at the top of an hour). Since I use my scheduler to simply limit speed throughout the day, it makes sense to me that the scheduler should not control whether or not the client actually connects. Perhaps it should be a future toggle option, whether or not you want the scheduler to connect you. I like mine to just limit speeds, not to dictate when I want my client connected.

Better explanation... If it just limits speed, then you can tell it no bandwidth at certain periods of the day, then just leave it auto connected and it will download when you want it to. The way it appears set up now, the thing automatically assumes you always want to be connected, even when you don't. I don't always want to be connected, but I don't schedule it either. I like to use other clients as well and I don't share connections. Perhaps I am just confused because I haven't seen a scheduler that worked specifically like that. It limits both speed and when it thinks you should download, even when you don't tell it to download.

Either way, I guess who cares. Still glad that the scheduler bug is not just me. That was driving me insane because I sometimes like to open it and not even bother checking anything, so that was causing problems.

altbinz always disconnects if, it doesn't download anything except if u enable "stay connected while idle" in settings->connections

but when the connection button is highlighted unpaused downloads cause the client to automaticly connect again...

It seems that, since the scheduler can only control bandwidth properly if the connection button is pushed, it automaticly pushes it whenever its activated in order to work properly.

the scheduler is meant to be used either always or not at all. if for some period u want something else than what the scheduler is set to u can always override it manualy by disconnecting,pausing or raising/lowering limits. the limits will be reset after an hour but the pausing should stay.
