A torrent is still showing up as leeching.
« on: December 17, 2009, 04:14:37 PM »
I download ZZ Gundam probably 6 months ago now, and it is still showing up on the leeching tab when I go look at what I have seeding (on the website). I have since moved the original file and I'm concerned that it may be hurting my ratio. What should I try?

It's not hurting your ratio. It seems your BT client is reporting that you have that torrent still active. I am assume that your client is still looking at the .torrent file somewhere. If you delete that file, you should be fine. What client are you using?

Don't worry about it, your stats won't change even if the torrent is still showing up on your account as currently leeching.
That's known to happen when the client forcibly terminates the connection, the tracker is slow to update in that case - the stats remain showing in now leeching/seeding tab, but no data is actually being transferred.

Well that takes some worry off, my ratio is .118, so I was making sure nothing would be messing with it.

Starting the .torrent again, and then removing it once you scrape the tracker, should take care of it.
