Is there a lag with the UL/DL ratio update?
-
Hi!
How often does the UL/DL ratio update itself? I’m seeding a file and it says on Vuze that I’ve upload 338MB but it’s only showing up as 251MB on the website for that particular seed. It’s no biggie as I know that my ratio will be updated in time - I was just wondering if there was a time between when this is refreshed?
Thanks!

I found a related post with a reply from a moderator saying "Each torrent is running on it's own schedule and the update interval is 30 minutes. It can be broken by a STOP than a minute later restart of the torrent. The stop should update the tracker."
I should have done a bit more digging around before posting this! Lol.

The short answer to your question is yes…. Approximately evey 30 minutes, your torrent client updates with the tracker and tells it how much data has been transferred since the last update. For this reason, it may take some time for information that you have transferred to actually be reflected on the tracker.
That being said, also be aware that the total UL/DL stats that you see in your torrent client also include network overhead traffic. As such, you may notice a small difference between what your torrent client reads, and what the tracker reads. Lastly, there's also the issue of session history. When you stop a torrent in your torrent client, your torrent client will still show that you've got some data transferred. When you start the torrent again, the numbers will not match because your torrent client will have kept track of the session stats for that particular torrent as it sits in your torrent client, however the tracker will keep track of the stats for that particular session, which gets reset every time you stop the torrent.
Just a heads up...
