<p>The disk buffer holder acts like a <tt class="docutils literal">scoped_ptr</tt> that frees a disk buffer
when it's destructed, unless it's released. <tt class="docutils literal">release</tt> returns the disk
buffer and transferres ownership and responsibility to free it to the caller.</p>
<p>A disk buffer is freed by passing it to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_impl::free_disk_buffer()</span></tt>.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal">buffer()</tt> returns the pointer without transferring responsibility. If
this buffer has been released, <tt class="docutils literal">buffer()</tt> will return 0.</p>

bandwidth as they can consume, even if there's is more quota. Other

<p>Peers whose Torrent has a higher priority will take precedence when
distributing unchoke slots. This is a strict prioritization where

</div>
<div class="note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>It is typically a good idea to save resume data whenever a torrent
is completed or paused. In those cases you don't need to pause the
torrent or the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#session">session</a>, since the torrent will do no more writing to
its files. If you save resume data for torrents when they are
paused, you can accelerate the shutdown process by not saving resume
data again for paused torrents. Completed torrents should have their
resume data saved when they complete and on exit, since their
statistics might be updated.</p>
<blockquote class="last">
In full allocation mode the reume data is never invalidated by
subsequent writes to the files, since pieces won't move around. This
means that you don't need to pause before writing resume data in full
or sparse mode. If you don't, however, any data written to disk after
you saved resume data and before the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Session.html#session">session</a> closed is lost.</blockquote>
</div>
<p>It also means that if the resume data is out dated, libtorrent will
not re-check the files, but assume that it is fairly recent. The
assumption is that it's better to loose a little bit than to re-check
the entire file.</p>
<p>It is still a good idea to save resume data periodically during

<p>These functions are used to set and get the prioritiy of individual
pieces. By default all pieces have priority 1. That means that the
random rarest first algorithm is effectively active for all pieces.
You may however change the priority of individual pieces. There are 8
different priority levels:</p>
<blockquote>
<ol class="arabic simple" start="0">
<li>piece is not downloaded at all</li>
<li>normal priority. Download order is dependent on availability</li>
<li>higher than normal priority. Pieces are preferred over pieces with
the same availability, but not over pieces with lower availability</li>
<li>pieces are as likely to be picked as partial pieces.</li>
<li>pieces are preferred over partial pieces, but not over pieces with

<li><em>currently the same as 4</em></li>
<li>piece is as likely to be picked as any piece with availability 1</li>
<li>maximum priority, availability is disregarded, the piece is

<p>The constructor that takes an info-hash will initialize the info-hash to the given value,
but leave all other fields empty. This is used internally when downloading torrents without
the metadata. The metadata will be created by libtorrent as soon as it has been downloaded
from the swarm.</p>
<p>The constructor that takes a <a class="reference external" href="reference-Bencoding.html#lazy_entry">lazy_entry</a> will create a <a class="reference external" href="reference-Core.html#torrent_info">torrent_info</a> object from the
information found in the given torrent_file. The <a class="reference external" href="reference-Bencoding.html#lazy_entry">lazy_entry</a> represents a tree node in
an bencoded file. To load an ordinary .torrent file
into a <a class="reference external" href="reference-Bencoding.html#lazy_entry">lazy_entry</a>, use <a class="reference external" href="reference-Bencoding.html#lazy_bdecode()">lazy_bdecode()</a>.</p>
<p>The version that takes a buffer pointer and a size will decode it as a .torrent file and
initialize the <a class="reference external" href="reference-Core.html#torrent_info">torrent_info</a> object for you.</p>
<p>The version that takes a filename will simply load the torrent file and decode it inside
the constructor, for convenience. This might not be the most suitable for applications that
want to be able to report detailed errors on what might go wrong.</p>
<p>The overloads that takes an <tt class="docutils literal">error_code const&amp;</tt> never throws if an error occur, they
will simply set the error code to describe what went wrong and not fully initialize the
<a class="reference external" href="reference-Core.html#torrent_info">torrent_info</a> object. The overloads that do not take the extra error_code parameter will
always throw if an error occurs. These overloads are not available when building without
