Is torrent information "Added [date]" and "[x] hours ago" incorrect?
-
These pictures show a torrent that has information indicating it was uploaded in the last 17 hours (i.e. on 18 Aug 2020).

However I can see that I downloaded it (by the green) and my torrent manager indicates I did so 11 days ago?

You missed the fact that it was originally uploaded 2016-11-01 and was just promoted on that day

Yes, promoted, it has the recycle symbol and if you check the torrent page you'll see the original upload date. You don't need to download the torrent file again if you are seeding as the old one still works.

Thanks Bear.bearbear That was a helpful reply.
That listing is being sorted by upload date so it's weird to me that not only should an old file appear first in the list but that the file information would show something that a reasonable person would assume to be the upload date when in fact it's something else.
imo users should have to click into a file to determine its actual upload date and and upload date sort should actually sort by upload date; promoted file or not.
I will offer this as feedback to the site devs.
