BakaBt incorrectly labeling my Uploads???

[LeijonaSisu]

I've been seeding some files for the past few days. uTorrent says here that I have uploaded 11.1GB on '[FFF] Medaka Box [10bit] [1280x720]':



but on my profile info page BakaBT says I have only uploaded 5.21GB:



This is just 1 example of the stats on BakaBT not being displayed correctly. Almost all of the torrents I am seeding are not having their total uploaded amount displayed correctly on BakaBT. So why exactly are my stats not showing properly?

And before someone directs me to this thread: http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=35666.0
and suggests that I got the file from somewhere else, and that I am seeding to somewhere else. That's not it, because the only tracker listed in all of my torrents (I only seed BakaBT torrents on this PC) is 'Bakabt.me' with DHT etc. and everything else disabled.

Suggest you wait a while. Tracker seems slow at times, and I've seen some traffic lost at times. Not enough to be a problem in the long turn, though.

Hey thanks for the reply.

I've already waited just over 3 days for the stats to be reflected properly and it hasn't changed at all. The stats haven't moved from that 5GB in the last 3 days.

How long should I have to wait for the tracker to update my stats?

Thanks again.

Updates are hourly, but lost upload cannot be recovered.
When stats differ the reasons can be various, from tracker downtime to ISP shaping traffic.
Best case scenario is that it happened to be a one time issue and you lost 5 GB of upload, worst case that your traffic is shaped, and you are dropping packets when sending them to bakabt.

It's often the case that download stat is lost the same way, so in the end it balances out. Not sure if yours is such a case though. Looking at your stats, it doesn't seem to be, except on one or two torrents.

You're not the first to have reported this issue. It's not at all uncommon. There isn't really anything anyone can do about it, though.

Thanks a lot for the replies guys. I have a 100/100 fiber optic connection. So trust me it's not packet loss at all. I've got accounts on other private trackers and I've never had any problems at all. Ping test rates my connection an A+. No packet loss, 1ms of jitter etc. We also don't have traffic shaping in Finland. Thankgod, I remember those horrors back when I lived in Australia.

If there's nothing I can do about it, then I'll just accept that fact. I still get a few GBs if I leave my computer on overnight. At the rate I watch Anime it's not a big deal as long as I can get a few GB a day, even if I don't seem to be getting the entire lot.

I'll just do lots of reseeding, download from somewhere else and upload to BakaBT to keep my ratio clean. I don't like having a ratio under 2.0

Thanks for trying to help guys, I thought there might be an easy explanation but I guess not :/

it also might be possible you downloaded the torrent when you were not logged in, therefore the torrent you are seeding is not actually seeded under your account. You can try logging in and redownloading the torrent file and seed. There is a difference between downloading the torrent file while logged in and not. Registered user tracker shd be tracker.bakabt.me, unregistered users tracker will be XXX.bakabt.me, for this month it's august.bakabt.me

I might be wrong, but still worth a try

That won't result in the situation here. The only way this could happen as a result of initially publicly seeding is if he manually changed the tracker URL, because he has tracked a lot more data on his client than the site has recorded. If he ever removed the torrent, his client would start counting again from zero when he re-adds it, thus eliminating any discrepancy. I'm pretty sure OP is not so stupid that he would change the tracker URL and then complain he's seeded a lot more than is recorded.

Note to OP: stat reporting is more prone to packet loss when you're using bandwidth heavily; for instance, if you leech a lot of torrents at the same time. I've had stats incorrectly reported before when I added 30+ torrents to my queue at once.

[frozenflame]

yea, as u said it is possible the tracker have been changed manually thats why the statistics are still there.
who knows he might have done it while sleep walking? just joking :X

[LeijonaSisu]

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I think in the end it was down to the fact that I was seeding from 2 different machines. Even though I read that you can do that, just as long as there isn't 2 of the same torrents uploading. It still might have thrown something off.

ergo. One of my cookies could have expired and part of my uploads may not have counted. As far as I can tell now, it looks like all of my stats are holding up. Ratio is 10.2 which is where it should be and I've done half a TB in about a week which is pretty much how my connection goes.

Thanks a lot for the support and the thought food. I think I worked it out.

... Cookies are not even relevant to your stats.
