Re: Report all ratio issues here

I've read on another forum somewhere that if UDP Tracker protocol is enabled, then your stats sometimes don't get reported correctly.

The analogy went something like this (the original explanation was much better mind you!); Normal (TCP?) reporting is like ringing up next door, the neighbour answers, and you tell them "I've uploaded x, and downloaded y", so you have confirmed that they can hear you. With UDP, it is similar, except it just broadcasts the stats, and is like shouting out the window to the neighbour and assuming they have heard you, without any confirmation from them. So they may have heard you but also may not.

If this is true, it might be wise for those having trouble with their stats not updating to change their settings.

In Azureus, Tools-Options-Tracker-Client-untick "enable UDP tracker client protocol".

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Monsta
