Hi,

I have a small question about downloading/uploading and being forced to use different IP's.
I'm currently studying at Univ and I have a room in the city my Univ is in. At weekends I'm at home.
I've read in the wiki that login/BakaBT does not like =/= IP's. So my question is: when I'm at Univ, can I
use the same account I use at home? If so when I upload things at Univ, will this also count towards my
ratio? So far I've only downloaded/uploaded at home.

Thanks in advance!

There should be no issue.

Your stats are identified through your unique tracker passkey in each torrent you download, not by IP.


For help please refer to the wiki and search the help forum!

PM is through my tracker profile only

That's great! Thanks for answering this quickly (^_^)
One more question, if I may. If I understand correctly I can transfer the torrent file + the downloaded files to another PC (netbook at Univ) and uploading will count towards my ratio (because of the tracker passkey)? If so, that would be great. Then I can also upload when taking classes ($_$)

Answers to your questions already in the FAQ, read it.

I'm afraid I don't understand those parts as I should :-/

I typed a lot of questions here, ignore the spoiler if the following statement is correct.

I might just have had a revelation here. So basically if I want to upload from another machine or another IP I just have to put the downloaded files from machine A to machine B, put the torrent file from machine A to machine B (which also moves the tracker with my key to the other machine?) and resume uploading?

The latter. You cannot seed the same torrent from two computers simultaneously.
