Title: I got high download rate for nothing
Post by: keik on December 08, 2008, 10:17:18 PM
Today morning mu D was 14.35 GB right now it's 15.08. It is very odd because last thing I dl'ed was first ep of Future boy Conan and then I started seeding (when I stoped downloading my downlad status was 14.35 GB). I don't use my tracker on multiple machines / many IP nor attache it to other not related torrents. I know that those aren't 1:1 relialable statistics but 0.7 GB when I wasn't downloading is just weird to me especially atm when I'm working on my ratio  :-\ (note: my web connection is slow so it's uneasy to me to upload lot)

(note2: I was looking on forum for this but I couldn't find it so I'm asking)

Someone may be using your passkey, get a new one on the tracker user page. This means you'll need to redownload any existing torrents you're seeding since they use your current passkey.

700mb isn't alot. Another scenario is when you originally checked, the tracker hadn't been updated yet.

Also quite true. If your client doesn't perform a graceful shutdown (and you exit without stopping the torrents) then this could occur. I myself find that the stats update nearly instantly.

With my 38 kbps upload speed max 700 MB isn't few but I do agree that it's neither much. I think that in worse scenario I will put lil effort and donate few bucks :P anyways I'll keep my eye on it for now.

Thanks for help

Or just seed a bonus torrent for a few days and earn the one gig back.
