Share ratio not working properly at all.

(1/5) > >>

I've been having this problem for months but now it's much worse and this happens only with BakaBT's tracker. All of my other trackers don't have this issue. I looked through the entire wiki and nothing in it has a solution that has worked for this. I even changed my firewall client and downgraded and then upgraded uTorrent but nothing has changed. First, my upload share ratio on BBT is always off by being behind .38 % at all times since late last fall. For example, let's say I download a 1GB file and upload 1:1 ratio. BakaBT will only have recorded .620MB of that 1GB as being uploaded. That's not much of a problem until I start downloading very large files.

However, now it's much much worse.  Currently seeding Legend of the Galactic Heroes torrent that's 29.8GB large. As I downloaded it, I watched my share ratio shrink from 8.300 to 7.760 or so.  I have since uploaded 16GB of that file and been seeding/uploading more GB via other torrent files and am now only at 7.844? Another torrent, Cross Game should be at 7.47GB upload (as reported by uTorrent) but is only listed as 7.12 GB as well. What is wrong with my share ratio? It seems to have a mind of it's own.

HeartVivian:
I feel like the inconsistency is probably due to the downtime the server undergoes on a daily basis to backup its files which occurs usually around 6 pm PST. During which, those uploading will be at a disadvantage while those downloading are at an advantage since the tracker during the downtime is not updating. It's not a major issue since it's not for a long period of time however over  long period of time the inconsistency, as you have seen, will appear in the amount uTorrent says you upload and how much BakaBT tracks.

Ah. Didn't think of that. I have noticed the survey dropping almost every night like you pointed out but thought once it went up, it would auto correct the ratios. Didn't realize it just ends up as lost data. I guess nothing can be done. Thanks.

Causes I can think of:
1. Seeding and quitting the client during downtime. Keeping the client up until the tracker is up again should prevent this, though.
2. Force-closing the client.
3. Something else obstructing the communication between the tracker and your client.

From what people have mentioned, about 10-20% discrepancy seems not to be too uncommon, although I don't seem to experience it.

It's definitely not any of that. Until I tried to solve the issue, my PC has been on and seeding 24/7. I wish I could figure what could be obstructing things because my other tracks are fine.

EDIT: I'm not getting any upload credit for the Legend Of The Galactic Heroes torrent at all. 29.1 GB uploaded and no difference in what BBT says from last night. May I request a mod to manually fix my ratio?
