Hi all,
Issue is basically summarized in my title but here are some screenshots to show what I mean:

The uploaded amount shown by uTorrent:

Uploaded according to my profile:

My bandwidth report for just my computer:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The download amount is far from correct too, have you downloaded public torrents?

qkrwogud · « **Reply #2 on:** July 04, 2013, 10:14:06 PM »

Yes, those are a bunch of Nyaatorrents

Did you add the BBT tracker URL to the Nyaa torrents, or did you download the respective torrents from BBT and force re-check?

Whatever the case may be, delete all trackers besides BakaBT's from the torrents you're seeding here.

I downloaded them from BBT while I did not have an account.
Once logged in, I selected the torrent and pointed it into where it has already downloaded.
It then did a check of the files and went straight to seeding.
BBT seems to have picked up that I am seeding as it shows in my profile, but the quantity does not seem to reflect correctly.

I've just checked about 5 of them, there are no other trackers listed.

Delete the BBT trackers that have a month in their name, like July.

I've checked a bunch and they are all this single entry: http://tracker.bakabt.me:2710/[tracker ID]/announce.php

Huh I'm stumped then. No idea why your upload isn't reflected correctly.

I appreciate you trying at least, thanks

It looks like you downloaded all your files while you were logged out/did not have an account, since none of your torrents have any stats for download on your profile. Did you remove the torrent from your client and then redownload the .TORRENT file while logged in or did you simply modify the tracker URL?

To me, it looks like you modified the tracker URL to seed on your account. If that's the case, then some of the uploaded data will have come from BEFORE you changed the tracker URL.

I did see the FAQ related to this and I think I followed it correctly. I deleted the torrent out of uTorrent, redownloaded the torrent while logged in and pointed it to the existing directory. It did a check, then went into seeding mode.
I then went to my profile and checked that the torrent is now listed.

Then the only reason I think think of that would cause this is your client losing connection to the tracker (whether being terminated unexpectedly, losing internet, tracker down, timeout, etc.) and hence the update getting lost :\ But that really shouldn't cause gigabytes of difference...

Well I'm actually connected to my computer remotely and I've been watching the torrents, I haven't noticed any connectivity issues.
I also have this constantly running so if there was any dips I would pick up on it:

This is also not showing any drops:

Although I did notice it says 'not allowed' the same way for all the torrents as seen below, not sure if this is normal:

It's perfectly normal.

Bozobub · « **Reply #16 on:** July 05, 2013, 10:34:05 AM »

Those "not allowed" texts are simply hallmarks of any private torrent.

Ah, I see. Still trying to work out my problem though

My bandwidth report shows I've uploaded 91GB today, some will be public torrents but I don't think even 5% of this is reflected in my BBT stats...

qkrwogud · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2013, 01:03:08 AM »

I'm still having this problem if anyone has any further suggestions..
I've tried isolating the connection and turning off any other torrents/uploads and only had BBT torrents running.
Comparing the bandwidth usage, very little is being reflected.

Usually, if you have public torrents running (and by public I mean non-BakaBT), most of your traffic will go to them, because that's where all the leechers are. Out of around 600 torrents I have going, about 50 are public, and my upload traffic is probably around 50% BakaBT and 50% public.

Stick with just BakaBT torrents for a while and monitor how they're doing. You should probably reset your client's stats by removing and re-adding the torrents.
