Stacktrace on current devel head about tribler HOT 6 CLOSED

I can't seem to reproduce this. How did you get this error?

from tribler.

Just running latest devel HEAD I ran out of space before, so I deleted some stuff and restarted Tribler, a couple seconds after starting I got this.

from tribler.

This error is basically caused by two .torrent files resulting in the same swift_roothash, apperently with different infohashes.
We could modify RemoteTorrentHandler._write_to_collected to return None when os.path.exists(mfpath), and not update the db if None is returned.

maybe it was hashing two 0 byte files?

from tribler.

That might be an explanation. However, it should not write 0 byte files to disk. If a torrent was collected from the dht, it will only be written to disk if it is a valid torrent. If a torrent is collected true swift, then files should have been removed if it does not download the complete file.

Maybe add a debug line which prints the filesize to stderr.

I'm closing this now, I can't trigger it anymore.
