I encountered this with an attempted install of 10.04 LTS from XP SP3. Some items of note: - This failed very soon into the download attempt - I'm hanging off a connection that blocks all bittorrent traffic - C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso is a zero-byte file at the time of the error It appears that after btdownloader fails, we don't catch the error and fallback to a basic http get, instead we log: "DEBUG TaskList: ### Finished download". Here's the tail of the log: [...] 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: ### Finished get_metalink 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: New task download 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: ### Running download... 05-02 11:21 DEBUG btdownloader: downloading http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent > C:\ubuntu\install\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso 05-02 11:21 ERROR TaskList: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 229, in listen_forever File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 221, in listen_forever File "\lib\bittorrent\Rerequester.py", line 96, in fail File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Problem connecting to tracker - Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 197, in __call__ File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 79, in download File "\lib\bittorrent\download.py", line 303, in download File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 256, in listen_forever File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 229, in listen_forever File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 221, in listen_forever File "\lib\bittorrent\Rerequester.py", line 96, in fail File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Problem connecting to tracker - 05-02 11:21 ERROR TaskList: Non fatal error Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 229, in listen_forever File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\bittorrent\RawServer.py", line 221, in listen_forever File "\lib\bittorrent\Rerequester.py", line 96, in fail File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\btdownloader.py", line 70, in error_callback DownloadError: Problem connecting to tracker - in task download 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: ### Finished download 05-02 11:21 ERROR TaskList: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 197, in __call__ File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 493, in get_iso File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 348, in download_iso OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: # Cancelling tasklist 05-02 11:21 DEBUG TaskList: # Finished tasklist 05-02 11:21 ERROR root: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso' Traceback (most recent call last): File "\lib\wubi\application.py", line 56, in run File "\lib\wubi\application.py", line 130, in select_task File "\lib\wubi\application.py", line 156, in run_installer File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\tasklist.py", line 197, in __call__ File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 493, in get_iso File "\lib\wubi\backends\common\backend.py", line 348, in download_iso OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\ubuntu\\install\\ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso'
