Hello.
When downloading a torrent using the built in client things run smoothly but when I leave it downloading the page fails and I am left with the “aw snap” error message. I would clear the cache, but this isn’t exactly a web page. I have had this problem before with larger torrent files.
As of now I am trying to download something that is 13GB. I work for a game dev and we share our work using P2P as it is actually faster and has less strain on the servers.
I don’t know what percentage it is getting to before the page fails and tries to reload - although I don’t know if that is what it is trying to do. Is this the browser trying to purge memory to be less intensive?
I wish I could tell people how to reproduce it. But here is what I did. And this happens for me on my other machine.
- used magnet link in browser
- started torrent in web torrent
- switched tabs and watched BBC iPlayer
- noticed the tab read “aw snap”
What happens is I reload the page and start the download all over again. I cannot give you a picture of GIF as I don’t wanna wait for it to fail just to send a picture.
I expect it to download.
Always happens with anything over a certain size or certain amount of pieces.
