ABC users:
In ABC, I can select a leecher (with full IP!) and there's a button "Finish Allocation" in the window. Does this "deselect" the leecher?

They got no clue either. Never felt as if the helpdesk knows anything.

If so, it sounds like one or both are not configured properly.
It is just strange. Sometimes, a tracker ignites imediately, sometimes no activity for hours, even when I'm the only seeder and everything is set as it should.
