Hi, I just joined not too long ago. I have three active torrents, all with DHT disabled (and DHT disabled in utorrent too). They show up in my profile, but transferred amount (up and down) has remained at 0. Any idea what might be causing this?

You Bittorrent app doesn't seem to be sending bandwidth data (up or down). Which app are you using?

utorrent 1.8b build 10198

[update] ok, stats are finally starting to show on my page, but it seems to be 24h behind. Is this normal?

[edit] everything's ok now, it's finally showing though it seems to have dropped a few megabytes worth of UL. Not a big deal in the long run, but those were a nerve-wracking 24hrs...

Hi everyone!

Please help me understanding, 'cause i started a week ago using lphant (never had anything to do with all the "torrents stuff" before..) and box and i just can't fix the ratio problem!

I downloaded from here only "full moon" (manga and series) for a total of 9GB but when i log in the Box says  kaname86 WARNED   - Ratio: 0.147 Up: 5.00 GB Down: 34.09 GB Active: ↑2 ↓0  +13...how can it be?  ???

Defsyfe told me "It seems that your client reported that it downloaded 33 gigs on this http://www.boxtorrents.com/details.php?id=24&dllist=1#seeders Torrent.

I'm not sure if it is because of you using a bad client sending bad info to the tracker or if it's because of a bad seed that was sending you bad pieces that your client didn't ban.
"

So, as the http repored before is the 9gb file i mentioned...can anyone tell me how to fix this?i'm bored of being warned, and there's no way i can upload 30 gb in one week with almost no requests for the one and only file i have on my pc! :'(

Create a new key in your profile page, and re-download the .torrent files (i.e. delete the old torrent tasks keeping the downloaded files, and load the new .torrent files with your new ID key). It is possible that someone found out your ID key and has been downloading using it, although it doesn't show in your task list.

That was not the case.

The torrent was either hash failing and kept redownloading or the client reported bad stats to the tracker.

I didn't read other pages of this thread so I'm not sure if you have told any reasons why you are using Iphant or something but I suggest you change your client to µTorrent or Azureus. I recommend µTorrent. :)

yep...actually i'm quite forced to keep lphant even if it's not satisfying, because i heard the other torrent clients go in conflict with emule, which i still need to use on my pc until i finish downloading the files i already started! :-\
anyway, misteriously since yesterday the warning is gone, even if my ratio is still 0,15 and the tracker says i downloaded 43gb!!!! ::) it definitely MUST be the client.... ;D

You need to change the client. Utorrent doesn't conflict with e-mule... I've never heard of it conflicting anyways... Btw, let me make this perfectly clear to you. If you don't change clients now you're going to get warned again. Your client is sending bad information to the tracker.

You can finish the other files with utorrent too ;) Just stop emule, copy the files over, load the torrent files in utorrent, point to the appropriate torrent directories and utorrent will hashcheck+resume the task for you.

Hi Guys.....

I got some more issues concerning my ratio....tell me if I'm wrong but the numbers don't Speak the truth

I downloaded the 6.91 GB file of  Gankutsuou

Series      Gankutsuou [KAA]
Conspiracy, Seinen, Thriller, KAA, GDH, Media Factory, TV Asahi, GONZO    6.91 GB    33    49    46.46 GB    6.91 GB    6.723    Dille    3 mins ago


and my Ratio was 22.??? but it went down to 17.37 and Hasn't Gone up?.....and the tracker is still going and no red marks on my Utorrent 1.75 Build

What's going On?  Could anyone say? and as you see I uploaded 46.46 GB BACK at 2 Mbits something is really wrong

Let's do a little math. Your stats now are up 403.15 and down 23.14 and a 17.42 ratio, before (going by your numbers) your stats were: 356.69 (403.15-46.46) up and 16.23 (23.14-6.91) down which gives a ratio of 21.98

Because your ratio is extremely high, if you download 5 GB you must seed 17 times as much to get back to your old ratio because your ratio now is 17.

hi guys! thanks for your help before!
As defsyfe said, i got warned again ::)...but i'm moving to utorrent, so i hope the problem will be over quite soon. Only thing is: it seems utorrent requires that you keep all the files you want to seed (or download,but this is normal!) in a directory it decides (documents/downloads)...is there any way for changing this? i used to keep all the files in an external hard drive to save space on pc, and lphant allowed me to choose the folder the seeding files where located in! :-\ dozoyoroshiku!

There you go =) Each time you add a new torrent the pop-up dialog box (which can be disabled) allows you to pick a directory to store the saved files; however once the torrent is running you can't change the save folder anymore.

What's really bugging me is that I always need to manually update the tracker if I want my stats in Box to show right away while uploading or downloading. Is there a way I could decrease the time for each tracker update in uTorrent?? I searched the web but didn't find a solution.

Another problem is when you're uploading at a high speed the tracker gets confused sometimes and doesn't record your stats accurately.

I would appreciate if you're working on fixing these problems.

I have ~30 k/bytes up-speed and ~125 k/bytes down-speed just for your information.

No and if you do it I will ban you  :-X every time you announce our server has to process that announce, there is a reason why the announce time is what it is.

The tracker goes by what information you supply it, it's not perfect but generally does a decent job.

How come I can get banned from that?? :-\ are you serious? I can't remember noticing this ban in the faqs or rules. Anyways, I do update from time to time because I feel that the tracker kinda forgets how much I uploaded especially bearing in mind that I have a poor up-speed :'(

Xemnarth, by a quick estimate I think we have at least 8000 users. If everyone wants to halve their update interval it would double the load to the server. If enough people do it the tracker goes down and we have to seed for free =( It's as good a reason as any to ban people for trying to do so.

More like 80,000.
We get almost 3000 announces per minute and some people are raping our tracker :(

The newest uTorrent retrieves the minimum announce time from our tracker and will not allow anyone to manually announce before that amount of time has passed.
