<p>The <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#pop_alert()">pop_alert()</a> function on <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#session">session</a> is the interface for retrieving
alerts, warnings, messages and errors from libtorrent. If no alerts have
been posted by libtorrent <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#pop_alert()">pop_alert()</a> will return a default initialized
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">std::auto_ptr</span></tt> object. If there is an <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> in libtorrent's queue, the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a>
from the front of the queue is popped and returned.
You can then use the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> object and query</p>
<p>By default, only errors are reported. <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#set_alert_mask()">set_alert_mask()</a> can be
used to specify which kinds of events should be reported. The <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> mask
is comprised by bits from the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#category_t">category_t</a> enum.</p>
<p>Every <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> belongs to one or more category. There is a small cost involved in posting alerts. Only
alerts that belong to an enabled category are posted. Setting the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> bitmask to 0 will disable
all alerts (except those that are non-discardable).</p>
<p>There are other <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> base classes that some alerts derive from, all the
alerts that are generated for a specific torrent are derived from <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#torrent_alert">torrent_alert</a>,
and tracker events derive from <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#tracker_alert">tracker_alert</a>.</p>

exceeds the max disk byte queue setting (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_settings::max_queued_disk_bytes</span></tt>).
This might restrict the download rate, by not queuing up enough write jobs
to the disk I/O thread. When this <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a> is posted, peer connections are
temporarily stopped from downloading, until the queued disk bytes have fallen
below the limit again. Unless your <tt class="docutils literal">max_queued_disk_bytes</tt> setting is already

<td>This is posted when libtorrent would like to send more requests to a peer,
but it's limited by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_settings::max_out_request_queue</span></tt>. The queue length
libtorrent is trying to achieve is determined by the download rate and the
assumed round-trip-time (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_settings::request_queue_time</span></tt>). The assumed
rount-trip-time is not limited to just the network RTT, but also the remote disk
access time and message handling time. It defaults to 3 seconds. The target number
of outstanding requests is set to fill the bandwidth-delay product (assumed RTT
times download rate divided by number of bytes per request). When this <a class="reference external" href="reference-Alerts.html#alert">alert</a>
is posted, there is a risk that the number of outstanding requests is too low
and limits the download rate. You might want to increase the <tt class="docutils literal">max_out_request_queue</tt>
setting.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>upload_limit_too_low</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>This warning is posted when the amount of TCP/IP overhead is greater than the
upload rate limit. When this happens, the TCP/IP overhead is caused by a much
faster download rate, triggering TCP ACK packets. These packets eat into the
rate limit specified to libtorrent. When the overhead traffic is greater than
the rate limit, libtorrent will not be able to send any actual payload, such
as piece requests. This means the download rate will suffer, and new requests
can be sent again. There will be an equilibrium where the download rate, on
average, is about 20 times the upload rate limit. If you want to maximize the
download rate, increase the upload rate limit above 5% of your download capacity.</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>download_limit_too_low</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>This is the same warning as <tt class="docutils literal">upload_limit_too_low</tt> but referring to the download
limit instead of upload. This suggests that your download rate limit is mcuh lower
than your upload capacity. Your upload rate will suffer. To maximize upload rate,
make sure your download rate limit is above 5% of your upload capacity.</td>

but our send buffer is empty, waiting to be refilled from the disk.
This either means the disk is slower than the network connection
or that our send buffer watermark is too small, because we can
send it all before the disk gets back to us.
The number of bytes that we keep outstanding, requested from the disk, is calculated
as follows:</p>

<td>If the disk write queue ever grows larger than half of the cache size, this warning
is posted. The disk write queue eats into the total disk cache and leaves very little
left for the actual cache. This causes the disk cache to oscillate in evicting large
portions of the cache before allowing peers to download any more, onto the disk write
queue. Either lower <tt class="docutils literal">max_queued_disk_bytes</tt> or increase <tt class="docutils literal">cache_size</tt>.</td>
