I am sorry if this is a repeat topic but I searched for it and looked at the wiki and none of this was there... I need to get my ratio up so I found some files that I had downloaded from Aarin fantasy a long time ago, that were also on BT so I decided to seed them but when I look at my stats it is saying that I downloaded them from BT.  And it has dropped my ratio so what am I to do, I cant stop seeding them because the download data is on my ratio... I have also been charged more than double the downloaded data on the torrents that I am seeding that I did not download from BT just am seeding on BT... it says that I have downloaded 884kb and the torrent size is only 405kb.  and the other one says that I have downloaded 512kb and the file size is only 246kb.  What am I to do. Please help me...

What do you want the stats to say? I don't see any problems with the torrent. You have seeded around 50% already and the "Infinity" symbol is present. Meaning you have the original files (with original filenames) and are busy as a bee seeding.

You're above 0.5 which is fine.

I guess I should have said which files were giving me the trouble... for that I am sorry. The two torrents that I am having the trouble with are Enzai and sensitive pornograph which I did not download off of BT but I am being charged double the download data for...  Neither of these two torrents have the infinity symbol next to them like the others that I downloaded off site and am seeding.  I do not know what is going on but I just thought that I would put it here since I could not find it any where else on the site.

To quote you:
What am I to do.

Looking closer? You downloaded 512 kB of 246 MB and 884 kB of a 405 MB. You are probably missing something though I can't explain why you'd have downloaded such small numbers of relatively big files...

Solution: Tough luck! You seed them now since the tracker registered them as being downloaded and stopping seeding them would move them to leeched or just stop seeding.

For crying out loud - once you have seeded it more then 1000 times you'll get the Inf sign...

Such small discrepancies between torrents of same material usually indicate missing/corrupt pieces in one of them. Cutetoad, If possible for you to make, I'd be interested in a crc check of those two, now that you're seeding them here.

As you've said you've downloaded them from Aarinfantasy's tracker, the files being old uploads here, and the fact the files don't include crcs in filenames ...wouldn't be too surprised if the ones here have some pieces missing/corrupt.

Or simply do a little test; Stop those two (seeding the BakaBT ones), download the .torrents from Aarinfantasy again and point them to the files, and do a force recheck on them in your client. If they check 100%, good. If not...

As for the crc check, AniDB gives these;
Sensitive Pornograph: 454934b1
Enzai avi1: de846071
Enzai avi2: 8ea6b295
...if the files are fine, they should give those values

Edit; There IS a problem with episode 2 of Enzai on BakaBT, it gives crc F6CBAD53, while the Aarinfantasy files both correspond to the above correct hash values...

Edit2; Sensitive Pornograph does give correct crc when checked so that one's fine

Report them so we can keep track of them.

Already sent Koyori a note about it. I'd wait first for the uploader to act...
