filec.exe does not terminate on program exit

[smaragdus]

On program exit filec.exe process does not terminate- it continues to run in the background:

screen:

If I manually terminate filec.exe process and then restart File Centipede the program shows message that filec.exe is not running:

screen:

Clicking Launch button starts the process and the program runs fine.

This isn not a big deal but I expect when I exit a program all the associated processes to be terminated and when I start the program all the associated processes to be started automatically.

So in my opinion it would be better if:

• when File Centipede exits the program terminates filec.exe process automatically;
• when File Centipede starts the program restarts filec.exe process automatically;

This will mean that File Centipede exits clearly- no processes are running in the background after program exit and that File Centipede automatically initiates the needed process filec.exe on restart without the need to manually launch it.

This is designed on purpose, it keeps DHT network more stable, if every time run fileu then run filec, torrent engine will refresh DHT peers, join the DHT network, find active peers gonna take time, which means if you are downloading a magnet link, torrent engine search the magnet's torrent file from DHT peers will be slow, however, if you wish to close filec.exe process, you can make a .bat file like this:

path/filec.exe stop

filec.exe is also a command-line tool.

Thanks for the explanation and for the tip about the bat file. If you don't plan to add an option in settings for complete exit you may close that issue.

Actually I am now testing the program with HTTP/HTTPS downloads only. I may also test it with torrents but it is unlikely that I will dump my default torrent clients with which I seed thousands of torrents,

"thousands of torrents", you must be running a porn site, how about I give you a custom version?

No porn site- just many books from private trackers plus lots of music too.
