Color Codes for Current Progress Indicator?

Postby ppan » Tue Dec 18, 2012 8:17 pm

Are the color codes for the "Current Progress" indicator documented somewhere?
(I have seen White, Black, Blue, Green, Red & Purple segments; I think that the Blue and Green are corresponding to downloaded blocks from Server 1 & 2)

Some of the colors are the color of your server set in the server options. If you have multiple servers, you can see what server the data came from from the color.

1 - Black - Download data missing.

2 - Red - Download Data Failed.

There are a couple other colors but, basically black and red are the important ones.

I am still a bit confused about the colors. Please correct/complement

A. The Progress Bar for the whole Group
WHITE= Not yet downloaded (?)
GREEN= PAR Processing ?
PURPLE= ?

B. The Progress Bar for individual Files (may have different colors for each block)
WHITE= (solid white) Not yet downloaded (?)
GRAY= (often, but not always, solid gray) ??
BLACK= Download data missing
RED= Download Data Failed
BLUE/GREEN/ etc = Data From respective Server downloaded OK.

Also, I am not sure that I understand the difference between "Download data missing" & "Download Data Failed". Wouldn't the server try to get the data and if it is not there it would be called "Download Data Failed" (red)?

"Download Missing" means you don't have the header data needed to download a chunk of the file. It's missing.

"Download Failed" means it had the data but, the server then returned an error when it was asked or the data.

Thanks! I had originally asked for this since I couldn't find it in the documentation.
