The webseed in question is downloading from an ubuntuone.com url. We ask for piece-sized ranges in a couple of different concurrent connections, and curl hints to the server that it's okay to gzip the response, or deflate it, or leave it raw. It looks like there's a bug in the server or in libcurl (or, somehow, Transmission) that's not compressing or decompressing these responses correctly -- we never get the right number of bytes in the response from libcurl. If we ask for the contents uncompressed, the download progresses towards completion.
As an aside, when testing this I noticed that deluge is a lot faster than Transmission on this torrent. In order for Transmission to reach parity here, webseed.c needs to know when it's appropriate to have more than 4 concurrent tasks and/or be able to request ranges > the torrent's piece size.
querying gconf2 each time the curl callack function is called is expensive, so query it once -- then again later, if the proxy settings change -- and remember the values in a local struct.
This is a little overlapping since the utp code can be closed more-or-less immediately, but the udp manager needs to stay open in order to process the udp tracker connection requests before sending out event=stopped. Moreover DNS resolver can be shut down after the UDP tracker is shutdown.
This commit adds a set of package-visible structs and functions to allow delegating announces and scrapes to different protocol handlers. (Examples: struct tr_announce_request, struct tr_announce_response, struct tr_scrape_request, struct tr_scrape_response.) HTTP is the only protocol handler currently implemented; however, this provides a clean API for other protocol handlers, and having this in trunk will help shake out any bugs in this refactoring.
In addition, logging via the TR_DEBUG_FD environment variable is vastly improved in the announcer module now.
This patch adds two new flags to the callback function -- did_connect and did_timeout -- that are calculated inside of web.c using information from libcurl. This allows the announcer to detect timeouts more accurately and also to distinguish between unresponsive peers (which get the preexisting "Tracker did not respond" error message) and unconnectable peers (which get a new error message, "Could not connect to tracker").
The Berne Convention says that the copyright year is moot, so instead of adding another year to each file as in previous years, I've removed the year altogether from the source code comments in libtransmission, gtk, qt, utils, daemon, and cli.
Juliusz's copyright notice in tr-dht and Johannes' copyright notice in tr-lpd have been left alone; it didn't seem appropriate to modify them.
