Seed Bonus

[matduan]

Hi guys. I have a problem here. I have been seeding some torrents for a while(still seeding) but my seeding bonus didn't increased. Only my upload count did increased. My status shown 0 download 0 upload. Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

Are you seeding right now?

I'm having the same problem. Till last night everything was OK, but when I logged in today I saw that according to the site I'm not seeding ANY torrents (0)! ???
The fact is that I'm seeding 109 torrents that all appear as seeding in my BT client and a few of them are ACTUALLY being seeded now!
I provide you with a screenshot to show you that I'm right.
As you can also see my BT client is connectible.
The only change I've made is upgrade my BT client from μTorrent 3.3.0 Stable 1 build 29038 to μTorrent 3.3.0 Stable 2 build 29082.
So I thought it may have something to do my client.
I downgraded to μTorrent 3.3.0 Stable 1 build 29038 (which used to work fine and the torrents appeared on the site) and I found out that the problem was not solved. I waited for about 3 minutes but still, according to the site I was seeding 0 torrents!
I decided to downgrade to μTorrent 3.2.3 Stable 28705 and this time all 109 torrents appeared on the site!
When I upgraded back to 3.3.0 Stable 2 build 29082, I found out that this time according to the site I was seeding 28 (!?) torrents. This number keeps constant no matter how much time I wait for the site to update the stats.
I don't know what client matduan uses but my guess is that although both builds of μTorrent 3.3.0 Stable appear to work with our tracker (there in no error message and there is actual seeding), the site doesn't seem able to read those data correctly.

This problem started a couple hours ago. Yes Im seeding 7 torrents right now. Like Dax saying, it showing that im not seeding or leeching anything. SO, It won't grant me the seeding bonus. The only thing that increased is my total GB upload. my seed bonus been stuck at 59 for a while!

Im using Utorrent 1.8.1. Havent got any problem till couple hours ago.

Ratio: 2.715
Uploaded: 3.19 GB
Downloaded: 1.17 GB
SeedBonus: 59.000

My current stat as now. Ill post the new stats in an hour. Ill let you see the difference.

[Dax]

So it has nothing to do with μTorrent 3.3.0. It has to do with the site.

[matduan]

Ratio: 2.760
Uploaded: 3.24 GB
Downloaded: 1.17 GB
SeedBonus: 59.000

As you can see, my upload is increased but not my seedbonus. That 59 probably be there since 5 hours ago lol

[Dax]

This is getting weirder and weirder. I installed μTorrent 3.2.3 Stable build 28705 which as I mentioned above was the only version that seemed to make all of my torrents appearing on the site as seeding. But this time only 26 (out of 109) torrents appeared as seeding. Now the site says that I'm not seeding any torrents, it went back to 0. My BT client of course disagrees!

[matduan]

thanks for fixing this. my seedbonus seems working now and currently im seeding 6 torrents. :hugging:

[matduan]

managed to get 0.5 seedbonus. now the problem is back lol

[Dax]

Matduan, the problem is not about the seedbonus points. As long as the system is able to register even 1 torrent you are seeding, it will give you seedbonus points. The problem is that the system lost today the ability to register the correct number of the torrents being seeded by some (all?) users.
For me, the number goes up and down all the time. Previously the system registered 62 torrents that I'm seeding and now it shows 0 again.
Another user reported the same problem in the German Board and another one (who uses Transmission and Mac) reported in another topic that he found out today that he was seeding 0 torrents.

patience guys, my moderator account got affected as well as yours  

it seem that the tracker needs a restart again, something went wrong at around 3 AM GMT/CET and still is in course …

[Dax]

Thank you, amice, for the update!

[Popper]

This should be solved now  :cheers:

Hey guys, I want to ask a question about seeding.

I finished my torrent but when i look at the "show seeding torrent" on profile, my finished torrent is not there instead it's still on "show leeching torrent" what happened to that? Is it because the torrent has 3 files but i only downloaded 2 files?

[Popper]

Yes, the tracker counts only peers who got all files completely as seeds. This is common at all trackers I know.

Of course the uploaded (and downloaded) data amounts will be added correctly to your accounts global upload (and download).

However such torrents count towards your allowed at the same time "downloading" torrent slots and you might need to stop them for a while if you get a tracker error about "bad ratio" to make a real download.
