Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: torrentflux
When using torrentflux to download a file over 4GB the main screen displays the
correct size but the 'directory' screen shows a wrong size. It is a known
limitation of PHP that filesizes over 2GB are causing strange things. The
torrentflux package (version 2.1 seems to be included in Ubuntu 7.04 but I
checked the 2.3 package on sourceforge and the same filesize code is still
there). The sollution (that i found) is to make the following modifications:
in the file functions.php change the function file_size($file) to the following:
======
$size = (float) exec("ls -l ". escapeshellarg( $file ) ." | awk '{print
$5}'");
======
i.e. remove the check whether filesize($file) reports a problem and remove the
escaped double quotes for the exec command (as the escapeshellarg($file) will
encase the string in single quotes already) (note thet this "escapeshellarg()"
is not present in the 2.1 or 2.3 sourceforge package)
Also change the dir.php file as follows:
Search for "$arStat[7] =" (without the double quotes obviously)
Change the following line:
=========
$arStat[7] = ( $arStat[7] == 0 )? file_size( $dirName . $entry ) :
$arStat[7];
=========
to read as follows:
=========
$arStat[7] = file_size( $dirName . $entry );
=========
i.e remove the check whether lstat($file) has reported a problem on the
filesize (stored in $arStat[7]) and just use the file_size() function always.
I noticed this when trying to download the "ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso"
file from the torrentflux page that torrentflux had grabbed for me (i
could only see and download the size that was above 4GB (i.e. about
200MB instead of about 4296MB))
