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,
