Re: Why so many duplicate completes?

Im mod/admin on a simular torrent site. There after some trial, error, head scratching, & admin chats we figured it out (partially.)

This happens when the peer is using a client the tracker doesnt get along with. Most often, its the non-windows OS offering the challenge to be tracked correctly; sometimes it is windows, but just an off-brand client. The results vary, but many times they show every torrent the member has ever downloaded or uploaded as being active in their cleint when they are not. & sometimes I even see (when these people seed a new torrent) that the thread can register everyone who views it as having downloaded it -- when they did not.

Have no idea of how to fix, other than to recommend users stick to the 'top2' [Azureus & µTorrent]

Can't see all who completed a torrent

Looks like one of your changes after the DOS attack was to remove that feature. It was useful. Can we have it back?

Re: Why so many duplicate completes?

We now only list the last ten downloads. There was some.... interesting stuff going on during the dos attack that made us realize that we were giving out a bit too much info on our users. So, we decided to cut back on some of the stuff.

It's useful because you can contact people about reseeding, questions regarding the torrent, potential trades, etc. Is it not possible to show the completers without giving out too much info? If you are showing 10, why not 20 or 200?

My suggestion is to show the complete list of takers only to the seeder.

It could help to find the coolest people on this planet that share a particular taste & to take a look at what (possibly) they upped in the past to find something interesting.

May help if that list show the screen names of people who upped something with a different look to avoid clicking on every single one.
