Yea, as the title says.

I know I have downloaded almost 50 Gig, but it barely shows 3?
I read the FAQ, I never quit BitTorrent when I lost the connection, but could my unstable connection be the cause?

Both Code Geass torrents are freeleech.
Only Ar tonelico Music Collection is counted as your download.

LastMelody · « **Reply #2 on:** June 17, 2013, 11:54:42 AM »

But still, the Ar is on 10 GB, I finished the download about 2-3 days ago...

Also, I have uploaded 15 GB in freeleech, is that not supposed to be on the counter?

Looks like you have one of the weirder cases of stats not updating properly. There have been some others, but most report seeding issues. Personally I sometimes have weird issues too, but only when I get a lot of stuff at once so that my down pipe is maxed out.

Also, think about what "freeleech" means. Leeching for free, right? Seeding isn't part of that definition.

So, this is one of those "live with it" things?
Oh well ^_^

Actually, if it was on 10GB, that would be more or less correct. But it looks like 3GB to me. This looks to me like your download and upload didn't get reported to the tracker.

That is what it looks like to me too, but I don't know anything about your system and/or what could be causing that ^_^

Two most probable culprits are your torrent client and your network connection/ISP.

LastMelody · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2013, 05:03:42 AM »

I use BitTorrent, you guys refer to it as "Official 6.*" right?
But yes, I also suspect my ISP

Al_Sleeper · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2013, 05:39:49 AM »

To be sure, try switching temporarily to some other torrent clinent, e.g. Vuze or Tixati, and don't forget to stop your BakaBT torrents in BitTorrent beforehand. uTorrent is not recommended because its latest build is quite buggy.

Think I discovered the problem:
---WIKI---
I downloaded public BakaBT torrents before creating an account here. How do I seed back those files so that it counts for my account?

The easiest way is to remove the public versions and re-download those .torrent files while you are logged in and target the destination folder to the previously downloaded content
---
I didn't remove the public version, I only added the trackers from the non-public to the public version, seeding and downloading on both trackers ^_^

Uh, make sure you know what you're doing when you modify trackers on BakaBT torrents. If in doubt, just redownload the files while logged in.

That also shouldn't cause a weird discrepancy like that. Both trackers should be receiving the same statistic updates.

LastMelody · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:45:37 PM »

Nono, I didn't modify the trackers, when I downloaded the file anew and opened it with BT, it asked me if I wanted to add the trackers from the file since I already had a file with the exact same content ^_^

...no wonder... So you added trackers to an existing torrent file after all, although indirectly

Start from zero.

Yeah, uh, don't do that. Clear out the old one and follow the reseeding guide.

LastMelody · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2013, 07:57:09 PM »

Don't wanna download it again, I can live with that, it was only one torrent after all ^_^

Freedom Kira · « **Reply #17 on:** June 22, 2013, 05:51:13 AM »

If you're still seeding to both trackers, remove the public one immediately.

LastMelody · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2013, 06:51:06 AM »

Don't know wich ones are the public ones, and I really don't want to download it anew :/

Freedom Kira · « **Reply #19 on:** June 23, 2013, 06:53:24 AM »

... You can easily figure out which one to remove, if you've been using torrents on the private tracker. Obviously you cut the one that doesn't match the other torrents' tracker URLs.
