I'm "Really confused about something..." aswell...
« on: July 16, 2010, 08:39:57 AM »
Greetings!
I'm Mangina, also called Jim in real life.

To start with, I'd like to quote Moe_ which in his thread "Really confused about something..." wrote the following;
"2.54 GB     2.11 GB     2.14 GB

So in my profile, it says the file size is 2.54 gb. I uploaded 2.11 gb and downloaded 2.14 gb. Shouldn't it be downloaded 2.54 gb.... I mean my torrent is 100 percent completed, so i don't understand why i didn't download the full file according to my profile."
(Quote ends here)

Background
(How I found BakaBT)
I'm new on this site and found it by downloading a torrent on an external torrent-site, which appeared to have lots of Seeds, but when the download started, it was extremly slow and I was wondering why.. thus I checked the tracker list and saw that the bakabt tracker had some error and so, I registered here and downloaded the torrent and then I got a new bakabt tracker, which was working and all was fine.

What I've done
I downloaded all of the content of the torrent ([a-S] Fate Stay Night 1080p)... afterwards I gave it some thought and realized that I maybe shouldn't be seeding to peoples outside this community, thus I removed all other trackers from the tracker list. (I'm using myTorrent, or as some people also call it... uTorrent 2.02, the letter which most peopel take for an u is actually the greek letter "my")

What I think
I think this community seem to be pretty nice and I'd like to stay here, so I read through the rules of the site and checked out a lot of information on the Wiki-pages.

My reason of writing all of this... (The ... problem?)
Time to reflect back upon the quote of Moe_
Okay, here's the thing... the torrent "[a-S] Fate Stay Night 1080p" as I've downloaded and currently is seeding got the following stats on my userpage here on bakabt;

    Size:     Uploaded:   Downloaded:
13.50 GB     3.65 GB        0 KB

Seeing this draws me to the conclusion that I downloaded all of the content of the torrent from the external seeders, which I clearly doubt.

To sum it all up... I've downloaded a torrent and I suspect that I've got the wrong DL/UL statistics on my userpage here on bakabt.
NOTE that I've removed all of the external trackers and only kept the bakabt tracker in the torrent now and won't ever seed a torrent from here to other trackers again!
I just wanted to tell this, so I wouldn't be a suspect of "stat-hacking", since I have no intention of doing so.

P.S. If you guys don't see that this thread fits in here, then I appologize... the rules are quite strict and the Wiki is enormous, but still extremly good, making it a bit hard for a newcommer like me to know where to search for help after trying the Wiki + Rules + forum search function. D.S.

You've just re-written the same thing with a bit of extra pointless information.
Again I state:
"
Because, again, sometimes the tracker goes down and doesn't record everything that happens. It's normal to be missing a little bit up and down from time to time. Don't stress it and Read the Wiki.
"
Refer to what Bluchan says here too...
http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=25125.0
Exactly what I've said.

And again
http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=25080.0

AND AGAIN
http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=24724.0

And this is why it's said to Read the Wiki and forums. As all the information you require is generally there. =_=;

Also, instead of re-posting, use the "modify" button. >_>

Thanks a lot mate ^^
Seems like I missed out that part of the Wiki... and that I mixed up the FAQ to be part of the Wiki when I wrote the oprevious post.
I didn't know that I doublepost'ed until I had done it... I slipped on the touchpad, but it wasn't on the "post" button, but something wierd must've happened  at that time and created that extra unfinished post, sorry for that :(

Also... I thought I should write the thread to clarify that I don't want to be taken for a stat-hacker, rather than wondering why my stats are like this... sorry for that misunderstanding aswell :(

All 1080p torrents were freeleech last I checked. So they don't count in the downloaded portion. They instead show up as freeleched content and is not counted into your ratio.
