Will seeding the same torrent with two different clients mess anything up?

[pityrules]

I know this is kinda strange...but I am switching clients from utorrent to Deluge as a trial, just for my Bakabt files (no matter what I do, my uploading rates with utorrent are a fraction of my friends' even though we are using the same client and same private trackers) but at some point I might accidentally be seeding the same file with both torrent clients.  e.g. I am seeding music files with utorrent but there might be some anime still in there too. I was wondering if this happens,  is it akin to cheating or anything bad that will affect my account? I don't plan on seeding the same bakabt files with two clients but it might happen a couple of times. I thought I would avoid captain hindsight syndrome and ask here Cheers

There is a chance you'll be autobanned.

Uh... Maybe your friend has better internet than you do.

And yes, you would be banned most likely.

Nope we are on the same connection too I am jealous of his upload rates as I introduced him to this site. I think it has to do with me trying to manage 2000 or so active torrents at a time, although I thought I read posts here where people claimed to have thousands of active torrents with no trouble. Maybe they were just bragging though, or have better computers, or something. 

Thanks for answering, I will be diligent about the transfer then. I am glad I asked!

You could have your torrent client set up to only accept a certain number of connections, or he may have a better router that allows more connections. Though the prior seems more likely. Heck, you could even have your client throttled.

I should have given more details from the get-go, I forgot how helpful people are here.

No throttling from our ISP, and we live in a small town and get our internet connection from some dude who sells his wireless so we are likely on the same router etc.  And I set up his torrent client (utorrent) for him with the same settings. I have been trying to tweak my settings for a couple of months to match his speeds but no luck, that's why I decided it must be the number of torrents so I wanted to try one client for music and another for anime. Perhaps I should spend more time on Google/utorrent forums to see how to optimise utorrent for seeding....there are a wide variety of suggestions to be found, including some here. I'll start with the connections - I probably have them set too high    I'll make an edit if anything in particular helps, I know seeding issues have been already been addressed extensively here.

Well from what I hear uTorrent is kind of a shitty client nowadays anyways so moving to Deluge isn't really a bad call. Overall rTorrent/ruTorrent is better for long term seeding. Deluge is best for burst seeding. It's a very aggressive seeder but doesn't perform as good with large swarms (e.g. if you have more than a few hundred torrents), which rTorrent excels at.

edit: Oh and uh, it could be what you're seeding. You could be seeding stuff people generally don't want and there are a lot of seeders for while your friend may be seeding popular stuff.

rtorrent, you say? I might as well check it out, seeing that I am already playing around with torrent clients. So far utorrent has more advanced options but lacks an easy way to relocate completed media after it has finished, and the new release (3.3) is quite buggy with its force rechecking (and of course all that bloatware). Deluge seems like a more basic client from what I can tell but with fewer options for configuration. I have the basics down as far as factors that affect seeding (and yes, there are many, not all of which I control!) but I have been obsessed with this for a while now Wish me luck and as ever, I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

EDIT - this sounds cheesy but I am honestly touched by the friendliness and help here, and I happen (for once) to have a few extra bucks..I've never donated before....but it looks like donations are closed this month?

Welcome to linux :)

They close when they reach the required amount of donations to keep the servers running, and since people are pretty generous here, you'll have to be quick.

My paypal account's always open. lol kidding.

There's actually a thread here with a big debate about what the best torrent client is, you may wanna check it out: http://forums.bakabt.me/index.php?topic=8245.0

Just keep in mind it's from 2007 and some things may no longer relevant (like uTorrent not sucking).

Don't count on donating. My estimate is that there's less than a 1% chance that donations are open at any one time.

Windows client with the most features?  Vuze/Azureus (with the Mainline DHT plugin).  I still, however, use uTorrent 2.2.1.

Do not fall into the trap of "newer is always better".  Quite often, newer versions are terrible.
