Report all ratio issues here

[quietcats]

Hi - thanks for your swift reply. I'm seeding this at about 40Kbs at the moment so I'll hang on until this drops off and then I'll post the final stats on this one if that's OK

[Chachi420]

my ul should be about 215+ GB...thanks
(I haven't seen it update in several days even though I just got back from a week-long trip and azureus is still running and it shows about 40GB uploaded over the past 5 days...I'm sure logging in from various hotels/airports doesn't help the tracker any though ;) Maybe it would help if the tracker could log multiple ip addys for one username??)

[U2Lynne]

You're fixed up, Chachi. And yeah, I'm sure it got confused when you logged in from those other places.

[quietcats]

Hi again Lynne

I've had to stop uploading on REM with Nic Harcourt now. My final figures were 5.76GB Uploaded and 2.81 downloaded with a ratio of 2.056 on this torrent so I'd be really grateful if you'd update my stats.
btw I LOVE your very friendly site - thanks for being here :clap:

[U2Lynne]

quietcats, I added your upload/download to your stats.

I'm glad you like the site and I agree, most people are very friendly here. But, you may want to stay out of the The Lounge. :lol

[Festafarian]

I'm new, so this may be a really dumb question,,,, I am having a hard time getting my share ratio where it should be. I think the problem may be that i am trying for the more obscure torrents. The ones with only a few peers. would it make sense to go for something faster moving, where i can upload more? Would this affect my overall ratio if I were to keep seeding it after the d/l?

Hope I am on topic :hmm:
Thanks

[U2Lynne]

Hi Festafarian,

As you are finding out, if you get onto an older torrent with fewer peers, it is hard to get your ratio up. That's because not as many people need the data from you. If you get onto a 'newer' torrent, one that has lots of leechers, then they will need the data from you and your upload will increase and thus your ratio (upload / download) will increase.

One thing I always do.... right before bed, I check to see which of the torrents that I have on my drive need a seed (or have more leechers than seeders) and I set my computer up to only upload at it's max all night long. This really helps with my ratio.

[Festafarian]

Thanks, that's kinda what I thought. I guess Im gonna go find a torrent with lots of leechers and d/l it, see if that helps :)

[Festafarian]

I have read faqs till I can't see straight and I still seem to be uploading at a very slow pace. I am running Azureus. Is there some trick I may be missing?

[U2Lynne]

You speeds depends on too many things. You may want to start a seed in Technobabble about this since this thread isn't really for it.

[user00]

Hi,

I only joined today and have downloaded one torrent (Neil Young 01.19.71 Late Toronto). My client shows a download of 365Mb and an upload of 382Mb. My site stats are still showing 0 DL and 0 UL. I've tried shutting down the client and restarting - no change. Should I do anything else?

[U2Lynne]

Hmmm, I couldn't find you on the Peers List for the torrent. Did you start your download from one place (IP) and then login to the site from another place (IP)?

[nakedi]

Hi there,

I seeded Jimi Hendrix RAH 1969 for several hours today, but my upload stats haven't changed. The only other file I've downloaded here has almost no leechers, so I can't do much with that. Thanks for your help.

[inoculator]

I Downloaded Joshua Redman 8-23-03.tv.dvd.f last week ( Great Show) I kept the seed open over the weekend and uploaded 21.6 GB My share ratio contnues to say 0.000. Same thing seems to be happening to "No More Colours" Pink Floyd audio. What Gives???

[U2Lynne]

I'm looking at your ratio right now under your name in the post:

Hi.

I've got a Problem here too.
I joined 3 day ago ,maybe 4 i think , lets say not tooo long ago.

I started leech on 2 torrents:
1. Phish Big.Cypress.NTSC.DVD
2. Steve Vai - The Meteropole Orchestra TV Broadcast.

I've got 90%, or 89,5 is the exact value, of phish, means 3930,87 MB
And 589,23 MB of Vai...

My stats are these: (89.58 MB/50.20 MB/0.56)
What am I doing wrong?
I use BitTornado and on Dimeadozen its really working fine...

Thanks for helping
Hank

[U2Lynne]

hanyman, are you torrenting from one computer and then perhaps logging on from another (like one at home, one at work)? The tracker updates stats for the last IP you were known to be at. If you are torrenting from home with one IP and then you logon from work with another IP, it gets confused about who you are and doesn't know who to credit the stats to.

You can always hit the Contact Us link below and give us your correct stats and we can manually update them for you.

[hanyman]

Nope.

Only one Computer.
In fact. I it has been updated now, but not correct.
Now it says 204MB /84 Mb.
I'm asking myself where the 4Gb phish areb gone.


One question. If it does not any effect on the possibility to download anything.
Is it ok if I just don't care about it and promise to upload until Iäve got 1.00 ratio?

I try to do this on dime a dozen anyway.
If not ill write a message to my ISP, if they know anything.


One more question:
If I want to seed something.
Is it ok if it is a bootleg I downloaded, for example, at Dimeadozen?


thanks
hank

[U2Lynne]

hank,

I'm not sure why your stats didn't update correctly. Sometimes I think the tracker has a mind of it's own. We don't enforce any share ratio here, but we do ask that our users be conscientious sharers here. We realize that there are many ways to share what you get here (b&ps, vining, seeding, making covers, helping people out, etc), so do what you can.

As for uploading a show, we ask that you not download something from one site and immediately upload it here. It's best to let it die down a bit on the other site. And, please give credit to the person who originally uploaded the show if you know what that was. Also, one difference between here and DIME is that we do require lineage with a show. If you look at the top of the Audio torrents seeded here, they all say something like: Silver CD > EAC > xACT > flac or all-sorts-of-taping-equipment-listed > transfer-to-computer-method > Traders Little Helper > flac or similar (see the Audio BitTorrent Seeding Policy in my sig for many more examples). A lot of people are starting to include lineage on other sites, but not everyone is, so some torrents from other sites may not be allowed here because they don't have any lineage. If you have questions about this, please feel free to ask away in the Technobabble forum (here). We have a lot of helpful people in this forum to answer your questions about this.

[hanyman]

Ok.
Ill do my best.

Infact I'm seeding now with 56kb/s and I'll go on as lonng as its possible for everyone to download it.

Ah and what you said about seeding torrents from dime, was something I thought about anyway. I wasnt just quite sure if it is allowed.

Thanks.

[cgskippy]

Hi Lynne,

I'm trying to help my ratio by seeding 10/31/98 phish which i downloaded from here early last year from another internet connection. the upload stats (nor the torrent) on the 'my profile' page don't seem to be updating automatically. do i have to wait until i close it?

thanks,
cgs

[U2Lynne]

Actually, that Phish show is on the old tracker (threads posted prior to July 2) and it won't update your stats. When you are done seeding the show, just hit the Contact Us link on the bottom of the page and let us know how much you uploaded and downloaded on that torrent and we can manually adjust the stats for you.

[cgskippy]

got it, thanks..haven't been here in a while and didn't realize you switched

[hanyman]

Hi.

I've got an issue on my share ratio thing.

Everytime I connect to the internet I get a new IP.
My ISP said that this could be the problem.

On the other hand I don't understand why this "mistake" does not appear on Dimeadozen.

Well...
I just wanted you to know.

[U2Lynne]

It doesn't happen on DIME because they use passkeys and that is how the tracker keeps track of stats. The tracker we use keeps track of stats via your IP.

[hanyman]

Ah thanks for the info.

Hank

hi,
i didn't see my ratio change after grabbing the Wall dvd torrent 1980-08-09.
Not sure if there is a problem with that tracker updating our ratio's or not :hmm:

[U2Lynne]

The Wall DVD is on the old tracker, so it won't do anything to your stats. You can send an email to the Contact Us link and tell us how much you downloaded and uploaded on that torrent and we can manually credit you.

[prfrlpckg]

[TraderED]

how long does it take to fix the stats??

24 hours or something??

[U2Lynne]

It depends on when one of us gets to the siteadmin email. Right now, I'm working on a project on our test site, so I did the siteadmin email this morning, but haven't gone back to it yet. When they get updated, someone will reply to your email and tell you they updated them.

[inside'eye]

Good morning,
My ratio was alway's above 1.1, in the last 10 day's I have downloaded 8.4gb,and uploaded more than 10gb. And my ratio stat's on 0.9?
Why could this be? My new client is utorrent,could this be it?
I am currently uploading,would my ratio be adapted after I stop up loading?
If it is any of the above, then with the knowledge that my up ratio is higher than my down then the torrent is kept in good health,at least by myself.Am I missing something here or is there nothing to worry about?
Thankyou.

[inside'eye]

:disbelief Just read the first page.
I have stopped my client and will wait and see,thanks.

[U2Lynne]

hehe. If things are still not right, just hit the Contact Us link in the bottom right corner and tell us how much your stats need to be adjusted by.

[harrylarry]

I was about to post, THEN i read the first post, as instructed. hey, good advice.

[europhan]

Hey, thanks again to everyone for putting out these killer seeds. I just finished downloading the 4/5/98 Phish show (DVD Island Tour.) This show is on the old tracker. Can I please get me stats updated. Here are my final stats for this show. UPLOAD: 9912.03 MiB DL: 9314.65 MiB (Share Ratio: 1.064)
Thanks.

[U2Lynne]

I updated them for you, europhan.

[europhan]

Thanks, Lynne.

[theCOD]

Hey, I'm having a problem with my upload/download ratio. Please help.

Thank you!

[U2Lynne]

What seems to be the problem? Are you uploading/downloading a show that is on the 'new' tracker (shows put on the site after July 2, all the ones put up before that are still on the old tracker and your stats won't update from that). Also, if you are torrenting from one computer/IP and logon to the site from another computer/IP, that can confuse the tracker (the tracker updates stats based on your current IP).

[theCOD]

No matter how much I upload or download it stays at 0.

[U2Lynne]

What bittorrent client are you using? What Operating System? Are you torrenting from one computer and then logging on from another? It is strange that your ratio hasn't changed a bit.

[Black Dog]

Why am I getting diff stats?......:hmm:
I'm using uTorrent, and it reports: Uploaded> 2.19GB
Ratio> .564

TTD reports Uploaded> 300.91 MB
Ratio> .22

[U2Lynne]

Well, I do know that our stats are not updating instantaneously. The info gets cached and then written to the database every so often (I can't remember if it is the every three minutes or every 30 minute tracker cron job). That would account for some of the stat discrepancy, but I don't think all of it unless you can upload at a really nice rate.

[theCOD]

I'm using BitTorrent version 4.0.1 on Windows XP.

[U2Lynne]

theCOD, I just noticed you are using a proxy server when you post. I would guess that that is why your stats aren't updating. (The tracker associates you with your IP you use on the site. If it is different than the one it 'sees' when you are torrenting, then it doesn't know who to 'credit'.)

[mr_moto]

My client is BitTorrent 4.0.4 and I run on Windows XP Home Edition.

The tracker updates accurately when I'm seeding but the board stats don't get updated (they are "stuck" at 4.36 GB/5.40 GB/1.24). I always seed at least 100%, so it really dosen't matter in a practical sense, but I don't understand why the tracker is correct, but not the board stats.

I've attached a screen shot of the peers list of my last download/uploading activities.

[rflynn]

If I log in from a different IP (at work) I notice that my name disappears from the torrent I'm seeding. Does this mean I'm not receiving upload credit while I'm looking at my torrent progress on a different machine?

I'm not all that concerned about it, since I have a good ratio, but I'd like to know for future reference.

Richard

[U2Lynne]

mr_moto, I'm not sure why they would be so different. The Peers List stats do get updated at a different time than your user stats (under your name), so that could be why they are off. Have they been 'stuck' for a few hours?

rflynn, if you are logging in from work when you are seeding from home (or the other way around) then, yes, the Peers List will only show an IP and it will not update your user stats.

[mr_moto]

mr_moto, I'm not sure why they would be so different. The Peers List stats do get updated at a different time than your user stats (under your name), so that could be why they are off. Have they been 'stuck' for a few hours?



U2Lynne, my User stats have been "stuck" since the first torrent I downloaded and subsequently seeded to 124%, which was several torrents ago. With every subsequent torrent the tracker updated my Peer List stats correctly, but my User stats never got updated.

Roger

[U2Lynne]

Hmmm, I did notice that everytime you post on the site, it is under a different IP number. That could be causing the problem. If you send a message to the Contact Us link with what your total upload and total download should be, we can manually change it.

[mr_moto]

Thanks U2Lynne. I sent the contact message.

The reason my IP number may be different everytime I post is that my dsl IP address is dynamically assigned. When I shut down my computer I also turn off my dsl modem (in other words I'm not "always on"), so when I start up my computer and reset my dsl modem I'm assigned a new IP number. hope this helps and thanks once again!

[wheelz34gh]

As of late, I've been noticing that although I continue to seed, my upload counter remains constant. Not sure if this has anything to do w/ it, but while it says I have no activity on this tracker, the show I'm seeding shows that my I.P. number is uploading while my user name is not shown.

[kadampa]

Greetings and great site! Had update issues before and thought I'd try the site again. Was on http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10090 for about 4 days (D/L 4.33, U/L 11.1) and nothing was or has ever shown in my account, though it did show on the tracker.
*Seemed* to be updating on the current link (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18338) though now the U/L seems stalled, though I'm still seeding.
Mac OSX, Mainline 4.0.2
Could this be fixed - just don't like showing a ratio that doesn't reflect the respect I have for the site and for the trading community.

[fowler]

Ok, so I spent a week UL the Phil & Friends Atl. DVD before I realized I wasn't getting anywhere. I couldn't even begin to guess how much I UL'd. However, now that I know this is here I'll begin letting ya'll know how much I've UL'd when I quit seeding.

[europhan]

Howdy, Lynne. I downloaded another show off of the old tracker, so I need my stats manually updated, again. It is the String Cheese Incident show from 3/9/2000. Download: 4.446 GB. Upload: 18.100 GB. My share ratio on this was +4.071. Thanks.

[U2Lynne]

I changed them for you, europhan.

[marleymann]

Holy cow. I thought I was going crazy, but it looks like I'm not alone in this. I'm fairly new here, but have downloaded a good bit of DVDs. For every download, I let it seed at least 100% and often to 200%. I always had pretty good ratios as a result.

Now, I've been stuck around 1.01 for weeks and can't figure out why. I don't want to be a mooch. I want to give back and I thought I was doing what I was always doing as far as letting the completed product seed past 100%. Something U2Lynne said may be the answer....I just started checking this site from work and I'm auto-logged in whenever I pull up at work. All my download/upload activity is from home...which is also auto-logged in when I pull up the site. Is that the problem? I should kill the cookie at work that auto logs me in?

[U2Lynne]

Hi marleymann, I would kill that cookie at work since that could easily be your problem. You should still be able to read the forums even if you aren't logged in.

[Anto]

hello guys,came here to post about share ratio problems and found this thread :)
Here's my situation, thanx in advance for your help.

[STLBlues]

My ratio hasn't been updating as well. I've currently uploaded 4.3GB on the following torrent:

http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18181

My download ratio has gone up, but my upload ratio hasn't.

[U2Lynne]

thanks a lot.

[funkdoctor]

Hey I have uploaded a little more than 1.0 of what I have dl'd but as you can see, it's not updating. Please help. Thank you.

[U2Lynne]

I'll fix that for you funkdoctor. I see you are still seeding the show - thanks for sticking around to do so!

[funkdoctor]

no problem this site owns. Going to grab so much phish. ahhh yes.

[Black Dog]

I'm confused........which stats are correct?

[U2Lynne]

Hey Black Dog. Once you hit the stop button on your client, your upload/download stats for the torrent will start over. It doesn't keep track of your total upload or total download (notice it says 0.0 download in all cases), just the amount for that session. Also, the stats on the site do not get updated continuously like they do on your bittorrent client. Don't forget that your bt client only talks to the tracker about once every 20-25 minutes (if it's nice) and then you need to wait for the next stats 'cleanup' to update on the site after that.

[Black Dog]

Hey Black Dog. Once you hit the stop button on your client, your upload/download stats for the torrent will start over.

That explains alot :rolleyes: I usually stop everything when I burn :D

.....only talks to the tracker about once every 20-25 minutes (if it's nice).

Yeah..I knew it takes awhile to update. I was mainly wondering about the upload stats.....Thanks Lynne! :wave:

[mysteryfunk]

Hi:
I need to get my ratio updated, if possible.
I went to Langerado fest in Florida over the weekend, and before I left I started seeding the Phish 7.12.00 DVD. When I returned, it was still seeding and the box said I had uploaded 18 GB (which is about right for 4+ days at 50kbs). However, my stats did not change at all.
I logged out and logged back in, started seeding the show again, and now my upload stats are increasing again.
Can you add that 18 GB to my upload stats?
Thanks,
Michael

[U2Lynne]

Hi Mysteryfunk, I updated your stats for you. One thing to try to remember is to logon to the site from the same computer you just started bting from. The site needs to grab your IP addy so it knows who to credit the stats from that IP addy to.

[mysteryfunk]

Hi U2Lynne:
Yeah, I check tradersden from work (but do no downloading/uploading from the work computer), so I guess I'm confusing the tracker.
Thanks!

[tacoburrito]

Hi U2Lynne:

I too check the traders den from work but I do one of two things. I either use the machine at work and NOT log into here, OR I remote desktop to my home machine if I need to actually respond to a post or PM.

Hi, I joined Traders Den last November but have just started to download Torrents from here. the problem is my Stats are not updating! I tried stopping my dowloads and closing my BT client(AZUREUS) 2.4.0.0 but that does not work, could it be anything to do with my IP address being Dynamic? My ISP is Aol

Currently Seeding: LED ZEPPELIN REUNION COLLECTION
Robert Plant (06/24/1985)

any help would be appreciated

Keith :hmm:

[U2Lynne]

Keith,

When you start your torrent, make sure you logon to TTD from the same computer so that the tracker can grab your IP and username.

I just looked at the Reunion Collection (the DVD, right?) and can't tell which IP you are. You aren't showing up on that list with the IP you used to post with. If you know which IP you are, I can manually input your userid.

[Triumph]

Thanks, I only download from one computer(Home). have just spoken with my ISP and I do have a dynamic IP address that would account for the different ones, asked about a Static, No can do they say so will be switching ISP in the near future
I cant locate the IP Address I have at the moment but
my IP Address should have the port number 39682 Underneath it

Keith :hmm:

[U2Lynne]

Hey Keith,

I have a dynamic IP. I just make sure that immediately before or after starting my TTD torrent, I log onto this site from the same computer (you just need to logon then you can leave). Then, the IP that the tracker sees gets associated with my username.

[Triumph]

Hi Lynne

I seem to have some Stats now, just did what you said and hey! Stats :)
You said in an earlier reply that if Igave you my IP on the LED ZEPPELIN REUNION Torrent you could insert my user ID, well this is the IP Iam currently showing in that Torrent IP 172.203.239.xxx Port Number 39682
Also could you please update my stats from the attached screenshots of what I have taken so far.

Thank you for your help

Hi Lynne...I need a partial update of my stats. It is for the 6.25.1997 Phish show. I am still uploading and will be for at least the next few days. These number were before I left on vacation. When I returned and restarted the torrent, the stats started from zero, even though all of my data was still present. I had written down the numbers before I left. I'll send you a screen capture for the remainder of the update (whenever that may be). For now, please adjust as follows: Downloaded 3.10 GB and Uploaded 2.96 GB. Thanks.

Dan

[bangsezmax]

I'd love to have my stats updated if possible -- my big download here has been the Divided We Fall DVD which was on the old tracker apparently.

[shobagi]

Hey guys,

There's no way whatsoever you can get the proper stats from the old tracker is there? My stats don't look too nice but I've uploaded craploads (I've had the entire Phish Island tour going for coming on 4 weeks now though I've had to move the files so my current stats are at 6 days 13 hours in uTorrent).

I have no idea what mine should be at so I'm guessing the answer will be no.

Wicked site though, thanks for that.

[U2Lynne]

bangsezmax, I updated your stats for you.

shobagi, we can't look up stats that already happened. I do see you on three of the Island Tour DVDs. One, you are stuck with no seed on. And the other two show about a total of 1.5 GB uploaded. Unfortunately, I restarted the server a little over a day ago and so that tracker only shows the stats since that time. When you finish uploading/downloading them, you can take a picture of your bt client and post a picture like bangsezmax did above and then I can update your stats.

[greenie44]

I just jumped in at the end of this thread, so my apologies if this issue was covered.

I have been leeching and seeding on the Dylan Genuine Live Scorpio set. I downloaded the whole set and have been seeding - uploaded 5.77 GB on it so far. But my upload/download/ratio numbers haven't changed at all. (They are still OK, but I'm trying to do even better.)

Is this because it is an old torrent - started in 2004?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that show is on the old tracker and won't update your stats. You can hit the Contact Us link below when you are done seeding the show and tell us how much you uploaded/downloaded on the torrent and we can manually update your stats for you.

[Shifty321]

I've taken the past week off of downloading and tried to get my uploading number increased. I have been uploading Pink Floyd's The Wall Divided We Fall 2 Disk DVD. I have uploaded thus far 2.3 gigs approx. and haven't seen the ration change at all. I am using Windows XP home, also using BTdownloader. I hope that is all the information you need. I am rather new to this and just want to make sure people know I am trying (on my half ass connection) to do the best I can in regards to sharing with the community. Thanks for your help.

[Black Dog]

I just updated from uTorrent v1.3 to uTorrent v1.5

While checking to make sure everything went OK, I noticed this!

:wtf:

[U2Lynne]

Black Dog, the statistics 'cleaner' only goes through twice an hour. And, it only gets rid of ghosts if they've been sitting around for a while totally inactive. I just looked now at your stats and you are only showing up once on five separate torrents, so the cleaner has gone through and gotten rid of your ghosts since you posted.

[Black Dog]

[QUOTE=U2Lynne]Black Dog, the statistics 'cleaner' only goes through twice an hour.QUOTE]

Thanks Lynne......:thumbsup

[johncook]

I found my ratio to be badly broken this morning. Everything made sense prior to then. Could someone else be using my login info to download torrents? Is there a way to check this (e.g., show what torrents are active for my user ID like in dimeadozen's "account details")? I don't know the correct numbers, but the ratio should be about 1.04. Most of what I've downloaded here has been during the past three weeks and totals about 10 GB.

Thanks,

John

[U2Lynne]

John, one thing you can do is take a look at your Public Profile (just click on your name) and see what torrents you are shown to be uploading/downloading. Right now it shows you on a Ben Folds Five DVD. Is that correct? As for someone using your login... this tracker is IP based. So, if someone else is using the same IP, then it is possible for their stats to go to you. Do you have a roomate? Or do you have a dynamic IP address?

[johncook]

John, one thing you can do is take a look at your Public Profile (just click on your name) and see what torrents you are shown to be uploading/downloading. Right now it shows you on a Ben Folds Five DVD. Is that correct? As for someone using your login... this tracker is IP based. So, if someone else is using the same IP, then it is possible for their stats to go to you. Do you have a roomate? Or do you have a dynamic IP address?

Hi, U2Lynne. Thanks for the quick response. Correct, I'm uploading the Ben Folds Five DVD. I've been seeding that one for several days to boost my share ratio. I have not downloaded anything new in about two days. I think the upload amount is about right, but the download amount appears to have jumped by several GB overnight (like someone did a "download-n-ditch" using my account?). It looks like the stuff I've downloaded in the last month totals about 10.56 GB.

I have a dynamic IP address but my DSL modem controls the 'lease' and the IP has been the same for months now.

Thanks,

John

[U2Lynne]

I'll set your download to 10.56 GB. I'm not sure what could have happened to make it jump like that. :hmm:

[johncook]

I'll set your download to 10.56 GB. I'm not sure what could have happened to make it jump like that. :hmm:

Thanks for that! I feel much more respectable now :)

[bvaz]

if I leave my window open at home and log on to TTD from work (a different IP), my stats seem to remain the same. I've had a few issues with my u/l not being recognized over time, but I never had any exact amounts and since there is no ratio enforcement, I really didn't bother much.
I've kept my windows open and I don't think my full day of upload and even possibly some download is being recognized.

is there a way for me to correct this or should I just avoid logging on froma different IP?

[U2Lynne]

You're stats should be updating now if you start the torrent from home, login from home, and then go to work and login. If you name appears in the Peers List, then the tracker knows who you are and your stats should be updating (I made that change to the code about two months ago). If you have stats missing, then you should just hit the Contact Us link and tell us how much to adjust your stats by.

[mrtgg]

Hi, I'm not sure what is happening. But for the last couple months, when I download shows, only IP address shows, not my ID (mrtgg) and I haven't received credit for "any" uploading. (Downloads either). My ratio should be well into the black.
I upload at least 200% for each download.
Any help appreciated! Thanks!

[U2Lynne]

mrtgg, the reason you are only showing up as an IP address is because the tracker doesn't know who you are. The way to get it to know your username is to logon to the site from the computer you are torrenting from and then start your torrents. That way, your login and your torrents are both are coming from the same IP (computer) and it will know who you are.

[mrtgg]

Hmm, I always use the same computer and am always logged on.
Are you saying I need to log off then re log on to be identified?
Thanks for the quick response!

[U2Lynne]

The thing is, you are an AOL user. You get a new IP everytime you log on. There are several other users on this site who use AOL and have ended up with the same IP that you have (there have been eight other users with your current IP). So, if you don't logon to the site right before or after you start your torrent, the tracker will credit your stats to one of the other users who have had your IP (or to noone if noone at this site has ever had your IP). I hope that makes more sense.

[mrtgg]

It does make sense. That's what I'll do & see
if it helps!
Thanks again!
:wave:

[mrtgg]

Thanks again U2Lynne!
what I am doing now is to work on TD
through explorer rather than AOL.
Worked right away!
Cheers!

[U2Lynne]

Glad it helped! :)

[drkhollow]

Not that I think this really matters but i just left my machine running on a torrent for over 40 hours and when I logged off and checked back in I was given no credit at all for what I uploaded (more than 1.7 gigs) but it had no problem showing what I took(502mb)--suggestions clues explanation all would be nice. Thanks

[U2Lynne]

Well, since you aren't uploading on it anylonger, I can't really look and see why it didn't credit you. Did you show up in the Peers List as a name or an IP number? What bt client were you using?

[drkhollow]

I checked when it 1st started to d-load and I was there; I think my bt client is just the old mainline.

[darkstarjunkie]

Hi, are you able to check when my ratio was last updated? I've downloaded the 25 GB Phish DVD, and am now uploading with all my heart to try and get even. (In addition to the Phil & Friends 2000-10-09 DVD)

However, unless my memory fails me (which might actually be the case), my ratio hasn't updated in a couple of days.

Yes, I have stopped and restarted etc. as per the first post. I did that today, 10 minutes ago. Maybe I have to wait longer for the tracker to catch up? My ratio was 0.58 before I did this, and it's still the same, after I stopped/restarted the torrent & client, and reloaded TTD.

I'm using uTorrent 1.5 build 437 on WinXP right now. I used Azureus before, because UPnP wouldn't work in uTorrent, but now I've opened ports for real, so I've switched to uTorrent. I downloaded about half the torrent with Az and the rest with uTorrent. Could that be the problem? I guess not, the downloaded amount seems to be correct.

I'd appreciate it if you can see if my observations are correct, and correct the ratio if my "claim" seems to be correct. :) I can provide you a screenshot of uTorrent if you want.

uTorrent reports:
phil & friends - uploaded 3.01 GB
phish - uploaded 7.91 gb, downloaded 13.5 gb

[typo edited]

[U2Lynne]

Hi darkstarjunkie, the tracker doesn't give a timestamp in your profile as far as when it last updated. The best thing you can do is to make sure either right before or right after you start your torrent, you logon to this site from the same computer. That way, the tracker knows who you are and what your IP is so when your torrent updates with it, it can credit you. Also, to verify that the tracker knows who you are, you can look at your profile under "Currently active torrents" and see that the torrent you are on is listed in that list. I credited you will 11 GB up and 13.5 GB down.

[treehoppin]

My ratios do not seem to change at all even after I have downloaded torrents. Also when I look at the peer list for a particular torrent I am currently downloading it just lists my ip, and does not attach my name to it.

Any Sugestions?

[U2Lynne]

You need to logon to the site from the same computer you are torrenting from. That way the site can tie your IP to your username.

[treehoppin]

I do. Currently I only have my laptop, so that is all I use. I am always logged in prior to connecting with azureus, any suggestions?

[U2Lynne]

Do you have an IP listed under Options > Connections > Advanced Network Settings > Bind to Local IP address?

[treehoppin]

not sure where your asking me to look

when you say option do you mean Internet options in the Tools Tab in Internet Explorer, or do you mean go in through the Network connections in the control panel and enter my LAN settings
?

[U2Lynne]

[europhan]

Lynne...can you please update my stats for me again? These are for the Phish show from 12.31.1995 ,set two and set three part. My torrent has done a couple of information checks and reset my information downloaded and uploaded. I have included a screen shot of when the file was created so that when I givew you my stats, you will see that it does not seem that out of whack or excessive. Downloaded: 8.66 GB. Uploaded: 36.89 GB (and counting till I finish off this last .03%, which looks like may be a while.) My stats were starting to look real bad, so that I why I am requesting the update now. Thanks.

[treehoppin]

Azureus will not let me into advanced network settings, says it is not available in begginer mode, need to switch that

[U2Lynne]

Well, if you can't get into it, then obviously you haven't put anything in there. :)

Here's a link to show you what your IP is: http://www.dslreports.com/ip Perhaps the next time you login to the site and start your bittorrent client, you can check and see if the same IP is showing up in the Peers List.

[treehoppin]

I entered my ip address in the bind to local ip, but doesn't the ip change? Restarted everything, and I still do not have my name attatched to anything in the Peers list. I am obviously new to this and not grasping it entirely.

If you can, take a look at the peer list for phish 12-3-97 Phili, my address is listed 6 times, not sure why, need some help please.

[U2Lynne]

No, you don't want to enter your IP in bind to IP. I was asking just in case you had and your IP had changed and thus why the tracker was confused.

I looked at the torrent and can't find you on there anywhere - well, I'm looking for someone with your posting IP - 12.189.32.xxx. Are you posting here from the same computer you are torrenting from?

[treehoppin]

my ip is 70.41.164.xxx its only listed once now, before it was listed 6 times. Not sure where your getting the 12. ip, I am posting from the same computer.

[U2Lynne]

Well, it sounds like this is the issue then because you have never posted on this site with that IP (70.41.164.xxx). Something is messed up somewhere. I have you posting from four different IPs that start with 12.189.32. and two different IPs that start with 64.12.116. I don't show you ever posting with the one you are showing up on the torrents with. The ones you are posting with will not resolve to any ISP, so that leads me to think that something is blocking/faking them. Perhaps you have some setting in your browser that is hiding it or your browser is set to use a proxy or something. But, that would be why your name does not show up on any torrents.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/guesswho2/RatioTD.jpg

[U2Lynne]

I added 5.6 GB to your upload. When you start a torrent, make sure you log on to the site from the same computer and check your Profile to see if you are listed as downloading/uploading the show. If you aren't shown, then that means the tracker doesn't know who you are.

[Waylander]

I added 5.6 GB to your upload. When you start a torrent, make sure you log on to the site from the same computer and check your Profile to see if you are listed as downloading/uploading the show. If you aren't shown, then that means the tracker doesn't know who you are.

I'm missing 5.6 gig of my upload because I was not logged in on that computer.

[U2Lynne]

waylander, I added 5.6 to your upload. If you log on to your computer prior to starting any other torrents, the tracker should be able to keep track of your stats.

Hi again,
Looking around I see that you're already aware of and dealing with this issue with other users. If you get to a point where you need to manually reset, my guess would be that my ratio should be at slighty higher than what it was yesterday (saturday) [222.60/240.76/1.08]. The UL/DL seems to have settled to be almost even, but with slightly higher UL rate (so inching toward 1.09 ratio).

Hope this helps and thanks again for dealing with all these details. And thanks as always for your endless work on this great site.

[testing12]

Sorry for all the type here but want to save you from having to do any detective work on your end. Just to be more specific in case you can't get to this right away:

IF RESET BEFORE THIS TUESDAY 6/6 3am EST:
my ratio should be at slighty higher than what it was on saturday 6/3 at 3am EST [222.60/240.76/1.08]. The UL/DL at the moment has settled to be almost even, but with slightly higher UL rate (so inching toward 1.09 ratio).

IF RESET AFTER THIS TUESDAY 6/6 3am EST
all downloads will likely have completed but uploads will continue at roughly 36-40KB/S upload (so ratio improving at much quicker pace (about 3gb UL per day)).

Thanks

[gsmyth79]

My ratio went from about 15.5 to like 22. I think I lost around 150 GB downloaded (upload didn't change). Not a big deal but I thought I post the change.

[tmm786]

Glad I noticed this thread. I have noticed the last couple of days my ratio has gone WAY down. I expected it to go down some here lately since my upload is so bad right now, but not this much.

A few days ago it was around 14/7/.50. I don't remember exactly, if I had known there were issues I would have paid more attention. I know the ratio was somewhere between .45 and .50.

Now it is at 30.07 GB/4.97 GB/0.17, which is impossible. I have only been downloading one DVD right now, and it's almost done.

Can you help? If you need any more information let me know.

Hello . I just joined the site yesterday because somebody directed me to the site . I have downloaded one file that was 74.6 MB . So I left it open to seed over night while I sleeping .

Just a little confused .

Perhaps that reboot helped a bit, Jack, cuz your stats have changed since last night (by about 2 GB upload). I can manually add in the 29 GB.

Berde, I looked for you on that Phish show yesterday and today and haven't seen you listed in the Peers List or as a complete, so something is up there.

heymnaooh1, please send a note to the Contact Us link in the below right corner and I will update your stats when I get back.

(Your stats aren't updating because that torrent is on the old, old tracker that doesn't keep track of stats (see the first post of this thread).)

I am showing up as having downloaded almost 1/2 TB of data. This must be an error, I don't think I have snagged more than 100 GB from here.

Any clue, or do I need a clue? :)

I thought I was doing good with the seeding, but instead it looks like I am a HUGE leecher.

I apologize that I don't have any exact numbers, but I would guess I am about 100/180 on my ratio.

Thanks for any help!

[U2Lynne]

Reggie, that probably happened when we changed trackers and there was an error going on for a bit. I checked your stats prior to that and they were 75GB/ 92 GB . You are about double that on download now, so I'll just double what your upload was and change it to that. So, you'll end up at 150 GB / 182 GB, OK?

[Reggie]

No problem at all. Thanks for the fast help! :)

[U2Lynne]

Hey Pint, are you sure the problem is recent and not from prior to the tracker change? Since we've changed trackers and gone to a passkey system, if you download the torrent with your current username, you should be getting credit (unless it's a show from the old, old tracker, of course). If you are sure you aren't getting credit, I'd love more info (OS, bt client, ISP situation, etc, so I can figure out what is going on).

[PintOfGuinness2]

Yeah I definately wasn't getting credit. It's a new torrent that I upped myself within the last week. Im running win XP using Azerous, Comcast, nonfirewalled.

Well, don't forget that 1 TB = 1024 GB.

So, .98TB is really .98*1024 or 1004 GB which makes your ratio approx 1004/271= 3.70 or so. Now that you are in the TBs, you gotta work harder to make that upload number change. :D

Judy, if you stop a torrent and then start it again, the Peers List (and the show stats in your profile) will only show how much you have uploaded/downloaded during the current session (since you restarted the torrent). So, I'm sure you were credited your 8 GB when you closed the torrent originally (actually, you get credited every 30 minutes or however often your bittorrent clients talks to the tracker).

[jdawson]

the torrent box usually keeps a running total and this time it went back to "0". This is why I ask, it's never done that before. I don't want to not do my share is all and looking at the stats freaked me out a bit.

I'll take your word for it though ;)

[treehoppin]

not sure how I can pull my weight with this site. My internet is provided through a satilite company, cable and dsl are not an option, and they have a policy that limits the ammount of data you can transfer every month. The download limit is fairly reasonable, but they don't allow much at all as far as uploads go.

Once you exceed your limit, your dropped to dialup speeds until you fall back within their range. Allready happened once and lost good speeds for about 3 weeks. How else could I contribute to this great site, assuming I do not want to limit my downloads too much? :hmm:

Once you exceed your limit, your dropped to dialup speeds until you fall back within their range. Allready happened once and lost good speeds for about 3 weeks. How else could I contribute to this great site, assuming I do not want to limit my downloads too much? :hmm:

:hmm:
I've heard of other people having this same problem and they've 'solved' it by finding someone else to become a downloading partner with them. So, each person downloads a couple of (different) shows a month and then they 'trade' them with each other. Of course, this means finding someone with similar taste in music.

Other things you can do to help contribute here are to start Vines or offer B&Ps of the shows you've downloaded (both of those things will show up in your User Profile). If you like to make cover art, you can help do that for some shows (a lot of people like to store their shows in nice cases with covers).

This is weird. I've been seeding the Sublime Palookaville show, and when I look in the peers list, I'm coming up as Jairbn. I'm like the second one down, and I see (on my end) that I've uploaded 5.01 gb. The other torrents (also sublime) show me just fine, though I believe my total uploads and ratio is probably wrong. It's not a real issue, just odd that everyone seeding the Palookaville torrent seems to show up as Jairbn...

Someone (Jairbn) posted their passkey torrent on a public site. Where did you get this particular torrent file from if you think you are showing up as Jairbn also?

[krazyfingerzz]

I got the torrent directly from here, and the others as well. That particular one, though, is the only one affected. In the beginning, I was in the peers list. At one point, things really slowed down from 30 something kb/s to b/s, so I restarted the connection. When I went back, Jairbn was listed like 4 times at different levels of completion, etc. The only way I could find me was the IP and % completed which has been 100% for the past few days. Like I said, no big deal, but just sort of odd.

I finished downloading Neil Young Rare Clips Vol's 1&2 last night..but my U/L share in peer list says I only shared 1.69MB and uTorrent says 787MB. Did I screw up something? I 'm still seeding it still, showed I U/L nothing until I Update Tracker in utorrent. The Neil Young Rare Clips Vol's 1&2 I seeded said 900MB (?). Not complaining just curious to make sure I'm sharing correctly.

thanx

Well, if you stop and then start the torrent again, the stats in the Peers List start all over. The 1.69 MB is only what you've shared as of the last time your bt client talked to the tracker in the last 50 minutes or so (the amount of time you've been on that torrent since you started this time).

[rents]

according to my utorrent stats, I've uploaded 23.2 gigs on this dvd set
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32317

yet the peers list showed I had upped approx 14. I shutdown my client and restarted it, but nothing.
Any thoughts, suggestions, name calling? ;)
This is the first time I really took notice of anything like this.

[U2Lynne]

Every time you stop your client, it starts you off at '0' in the Peers List. Have you also made sure DHT is off? It it's on, then you may connect to other peers but 'bypass' the tracker (and thus not get your stats updated).

I knew about the 0 at the restart of the client, I'm not sure why I put that in the first place. I'll have to check out the DHT and so forth. Thanks Lynne

[Ernest Hough]

I followed the advice above(steps 1-3) to get my ratio updated to no avail. Utorrent (1.6) says my ratio is at .427. I am using windows xp. I'd really like to give back what I get. Thank you fo helping me with this matter!

[U2Lynne]

I actually replied to you in your original post:

If you have DHT enabled, then you may be connecting to users through that which will bypass the tracker. You should stop your torrent, disable DHT, and then start your torrent again. I actually go one step further and check the box that says "Private torrent - only accept peers from this tracker" (that is an option in azureus.)

Are you currently showing activity in utorrent on this site? What sort of transfer rate is it showing?

[Ernest Hough]

I am showing activity, but the ul/dl speeds are at o.

[Ernest Hough]

Now I'm not showing as being a peer.

[U2Lynne]

It sounds like utorrent is just scraping then, not seeding. Scraping is when it just tells you how many people are currently connected to the torrent. It doesn't try to connect *you* to anyone. Does it show the torrent as completed? active or inactive? It could be just queud and not trying to upload/download at all.

[Ernest Hough]

It shows as being active and being 1oo%.

[U2Lynne]

Can you take a screenshot at all?

[BlakPeter]

Singe you don't *enforce* ratio I don't usually quibble about getting "shorted" (it happens a lot). But I do get curious as to why a gig "disappears" here and there; they *do* add up. Example: I have been seeding an orphan for a while, and uTorrent had me as uploading 2.3g and the tracker pegged me at 1.3. Just to see what would happen, I restarted the torrent, and as I suspected both tracker and client reset to '0'
Would send a screenshot if this window allowed. :hmm:

[U2Lynne]

Do you make sure to have DHT off? If you don't, then you can connect to people using DHT which bypasses the tracker. Also, whever you restart a torrent, you will always be reset to 0 in your Peers List.

[bvaz]

I don't know if this is part of the server issue, but i have been on this torrent for a day http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34327

and I have not connected to the tracker. at this point I have download 1.28 Gb and uploaded 1.81 Gb and that ratio just keeps growing.

I am connected to 21 peers, but not the seeder (possibly in super seed mode).

I've never had trouble connecting to the tracker before, especially for this long of a period.

quick edit. the message I am getting in utorrent is:
tracker sending invalid data. d1: failure reason 22:invalid passkey...

Try stopping the torrent, delete the torrent file from utorrent, redownload the torrent, and then start the torrent again in utorrent pointing it to the files you have already downloaded. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

[LeonJackson]

Hi Lynne: I'm sure you have more than enough on your plate as it is, and I'm really grateful for everything you do, but my stats still aren't updating. I have stopped and restarted and all that good stuff. I've been at 1.75 for a couple of days, while steadily uploading at around 40k/sec . . . :hmm:

[diskobean]

I know my ratio is horrible. i havent d'l'd much lately but for the record, i do try and give back, just around xmas i gave out like 20 DVD-R's as freebies, and im about to do the same thing, except more DVD's this time around, once i get somemore blank DVD-R media

I will def give back and then some of what I owe to my ratio

[kn5150]

everytime i dl a torrent from this site i cant seem to seed it back 1.1 . now, if i d/l a torrent from another site it seeds it back automatically 1.1 within a day or 2. im usin winxp sp2 with firefox and utorrent. pls help, afraid of getting banned....:hmm::(:disbelief ive even tried to set my ratios manually and that dont work either.

[Paul56]

I've noticed a few times that the stats were way off, but with my ratio I wasn't all that concerned. But I do have a question regarding updating the stats, sometimes they update on a regular basis and sometimes they are 3-4 hours old. On my computer I can manually update the tracker, on a service that I use I cannot. Is it possible to have a way to update the stats manually on TTD, perhaps from the profile page. Thanks.

I would post about this in your own thread in Technobabble. It sounds like you may have an ISP like comcast who is using Sandvine. If so, do a search in this forum and you will find information about it.

The only way to get the tracker to see your stats is to have your bittorrent client talk to it. If your client doesn't tell the tracker what is going on, then it can't update anything. Make sure you have DHT turned off because if it is on, then you are bypassing the tracker and again, the tracker won't be able to update your stats.

Well, I think Aaron misread your post cuz this thread was for when your ratio is actually wrong, not for when you are having problems uploading/downloading. Did you read my reply in your thread?

[kn5150]

im still having problems

[U2Lynne]

im still having problems
I just checked your profile and you don't have any torrents going. Are you saying that you *do* have them on at home but they just aren't showing up here? It would really help if you posted links to the threads that you think you should be showing up as seeding. It's hard to see what's going on without more specifics. Also, it would be better if you posted this in the original thread, not the Ratio Issue thread since it really has nothing to do with your ratio stats.

Today at 5:18 am my Profile Page upload amounts for 3 shows were:
Sade 2.10 GB
Steely Dan 6.95 GB
Tom Waits 11.42 GB
and my upload total was 411.31 GB

Then I disconnected from the internet, but didn't stop the tracker (I've done this before, and it usually works out ok).

When I got back on at 1:06 pm my Profile Page upload amounts for 3 shows were:
Sade 2.11 GB (+ .01 GB)
Steely Dan 7.53 GB (+ .58 GB)
Tom Waits 11.42 GB (same)
but my upload total was still 411.31 GB

Since the individual shows were updated, shouldn't the total also be increased?

I have screenshots of my before and after profile page if you want them.

I'm running bittorrent 4.4.1 with mac osx.

[U2Lynne]

It is off. What is confusing is your statement about disconnecting from the internet but not stopping the tracker. If you are disconnected from the internet, then you are not running your torrents. Not stopping your torrents means it will not have reported the data transferred between the last announce and your disconnect. It continues to try to 'talk' to the tracker, but it can't but it thinks it did. So, the updates go to nothingness.

I looked at your totals now (well, it was 11:24 PST when I started this post) and from your beginning and you were off by a total of .58, so I'll add that to your upload. In the future, if you are going to disconnect from the internet, first stop your torrents properly in bittorrent so it can communicate to the tracker your last update stats. (Pause may work also, but I'm not sure about that.)

[daddaj]

Hi Lynne, thanks for the fast resolution.

Sorry about the "disconnect from the internet" confusion. I have a laptop that runs hot, so I have to put it into sleep/hibernate mode once in a while to let it cool off. Doing this disconnects me from the internet. I don't shut down any applications, including bittorrent, which generally resumes where it left off after I get back online.

In other words, the upload amounts on my profile page catch up with the upload amounts on bittorrent. Which also happened today, but I was surprised that the upload total wasn't also adjusted.

bittorrent doesn't have a Pause, so I can't try that. I don't like to stop a torrent until its upload stats have been updated, because I've done that a few times and bittorrent never told the tracker to update my stats.

Guess I don't quite understand/trust how bittorrent works?!?

*But* I'll try to follow your advice, and properly stop my torrents before I go offline. Or I won't disconnect while I'm waiting for 800 MB to get added to my upload total!!

Thanks for your help.

[aphex0]

I haven't recieved credit for any of my seeding recently, my ratio should not be where it is. I still haven't fixed it but I am not the leecher my stats say I am!!

[U2Lynne]

You really didn't say much about the problem. Do you show up on the Peers List at all? What bittorrent client are you using? Did you just suddenly stop getting credit or ??

You are currently not showing up as being on any torrents.

Hi i have the following problem:


if i dl stuff and seed them when finished, it will actualize my ul stats, but 2 days ago i began to seed the following show: Rolling Stones 2002-00-00 Work Sucks, Let's Go On Tour 1972

i uploaded now about 4gb on that file, but nothing happens on my share ratio

i stopped to transfer, i closed azureus but nothing helps

greetings

I don't even see that show on our tracker. Do you have a link? You are currently not connected to it and I've done a search and not come up with any active show.

edit: I found it. It was pulled. Once a show gets pulled, no stats can be updated on the tracker because the torrent is not recognized by the tracker. All shows, when uploaded here, must have lineage, checksums, and should be extracted using EAC in Secure Mode. That show you uploaded didn't have linage or checksums, and there were errors in the rip, so it was pulled. I will give you 4 GB of upload credit though.

[Anarchyora]

thx a lot
