Bug Description

After upgrading to 2.0.3+dfsg1-0ubuntu1 ktorrent thinks there is only 22min left of a torrent with 3.2Gb still to download and similar for other torrents.

The previous version was guessing somewhere over 15 days

I cannot confirm this bug... I have 3 torrents going right now (around 1GB each) and just started 2 Ubuntu RC ISO's, and all 5 torrents are showing accurate time estimations.

Perhaps it only happens on downloads that are larger than 4GB?

the torrent in question has gradually gone up to nearly 5hours which is still very optimistic considering it hasn't downloaded anything since starting

another >4G torrent with 2.5Gb left is guessing 8hrs, while the rest have goten to reasonable accuracy, i wonder if you might be thinking in the right direction

i know these are just guesses but they are unrealistic compared to previous ones

If it only happens on large downloads, I think this is an upstream issue. I find it hard to believe that the +dsfg1-0ubuntu1 revision caused the problem, since the only change is that the GeoIP database (that puts those country flags beside the peers) was dropped due to a non-free license.

it does seem strange, but the largest of those torrents has been downloading for weeks using 2.0.2 then 2.0.3 and it was only with today's update that this started happening

Hey Kenny, is this still an issue? I was just combing through the KDE bug database on KTorrent and couldn't find anything dead on, but did locate 2 things when combined would be close. It seems one was fixed upstream about 2 weeks prior to you reporting this. It was a fix to the time left scheme using a rotating calculation algorithm.
