Stats problem
shaggy619:
Well I have watched six tracker updates and no timeouts. Porco Rosso which I started about 40 mins ago reported the correct upload and download after updating. Grenadier just updated and should have reported 41MB up and 2.23GB down but it stayed at 24MB up and 1.11GB down. I assuming that if it misses an update it will report the correct info next update? Or maybe those bytes are lost to the tracker forever. I guess I don't really care as it's not really hurting my share ratio that bad since it effects the download as well. O well.

During the past couple of days there were a few tracker downtimes of a couple of hours which might explain some of those inconsistencies.
True, it shouldn't account for such a massive upload loss since interruptions weren't that long.
Only thing that might explain it was what Arveene already mentioned, it is possible that the tracker times out and you are unable to connect and report your transfer, but still remain connected to other peers and seed...
Things I can suggest are - check your firewall/router configuration, check up on tracker status line every now and again and possibly enable encryption and set to forced in case your ISP is messing with you (although this would be a first time I heard of such ISP meddling).

Actually, recently I've been noticing more of these reports on the help forum. I think this might be the fifth or so report in the past, I dunno, month? And remember not everyone monitors their stats closely. I, for one, just leave my seeding box running and check it about once a week, so I don't expect to be submitting such a report.
I'm starting to think that maybe there is a bug somewhere. And, as noted, the differences are quite large, which is also consistent with other reports I remember seeing.
I think it'd be a good idea to at least take a look. There might be a problem, there might not be.
And shaggy619, don't double post; it's in the forum rules. If you want to say something and the last post on the thread is yours, edit your last post instead.

ISP caching perhaps? What's your location?
Some time ago there were a few posts about someone having trouble with Hong Kong isps caching torrents, which caused issues, however I can't find that specific threat. It was more of an issue of logging in as wrong user, but I suspect a badly configured cache implementation like that could have similar issues for actual torrent tracking...
Probably not in this case though as you're using vpn, unless it affects the vpn start-point.

Shit happens, to me and also to you.
I'm forgiving, how about you?

I remember that. I think Jarudin said it had to do with the ISP holding cookies and sharing them on the same network, which caused one user to randomly log into accounts of other users on the same ISP. Something like that. I didn't really understand it myself all that well. But I doubt that would cause issues with stat reporting; if anything it would cause too high of an amount to be reported (due to multiple users logged into the same account and using the same torrent file), which is the opposite case to what we are seeing here.

20%, maybe, if you're super lenient like I am, but if half of the amount you upload doesn't get credited, especially if this amounts to several gigs, I think maybe not so much. In his case, he's reporting a >75% loss, which is significantly more loss than you'd ever expect.
