Unsnubbing doesn't seem to work

[BenoitKnecht]

Hi,

This issue has been reported in Debian [1], originally on rtorrent 0.8.6, but it seems to affect 0.8.9 too. I'll just quote from the original bug report:

(about 0.8.6)

Toggling peer snubbing off with * seems to leave that peer permanently
choked, even when it wakes up and starts feeding me data.

The only way I can find to bring the connection back to life is to kick
off the peer and let it reconnect.

libtorrent11 0.12.6-2, BTW.

(about 0.8.9)

As of Version: 0.8.9-2 with libtorrent14 Version: 0.12.9-3 it's still
there. (I'm running sid rather than wheezy; I figure for this purpose
that's not a problem.)

4 peers, each receiving 20 k/s, were snubbed for a second, then
immediately unsnubbed, and their rates have gone to 0 and stayed there.
If I kick them off, they reconnect and start transferring again.

Any idea what's causing this?

Cheers,

Benoît Knecht

Does this still happen with the latest version from github?

[BenoitKnecht]

Yes, it does. I've asked the original submitter of the bug to try the github version, and they still see the same behavior. Details are at http://bugs.debian.org/572367.
