Another strange one I noticed with a newly granted torrent: this user.
Total torrent size is 6.01 GB, this user has downloaded 160 MB (less than 1 episode) and has up till now uploaded 6.63 GB.
All current leechers are at 22% complete, which corresponds with my own upload.
Now, his other stats seem to be ok at first glance, so I guess it could be his torrent client is acting wonky and reporting incorrect stats for this particular torrent...

That's probably someone who downloaded something off a public tracker and added it here, where some pieces of the download failed the hash check and therefore had to be redownloaded. The stats don't update properly in these situations.
Edit: If you're suggesting that the fact that all other peers are at 22% means that the above isn't possible, then perhaps, but he may have been offline when you checked that.

Since bits are different from your usual metric system in that bits are discrete, a millibit doesn't make sense because you can't have partial bits. A bit is a bit.
Thus, it's not unusual to see the term mb to refer to megabit (though, what the heck is a megabit-second? Speed isn't like power).
That said, an OC-24 line is intense - over 1gbps - and would probably cost millions per month for a residential place. It's also about 2x a usual ISP's line for a regional area, which is OC-12, and half of an ISP's usual backbone line, which is OC-48. Most computers don't even have the proper hardware to use anything over 1gbps, and even then, your transfer speeds are limited by hard disk write/read speeds, unless you have a huge number of hard drives operating in RAID and striped parallel... it's ridiculous how much it would cost.

What, you don't know anyone who can download 8 QUINTILLION bytes at hundreds of gigs a second? Where have you been?
Oh, wait, this isn't "ask a stupid question"...to quote Gilda Radner on SNL..."NEVER MIND!!"
