      2 days ago I downloaded a 300GB freeleech torrent and somehow a bug caused all 300GB to be counted towards my S/L ratio. I am a 15-year member of this community who strives to always do my part to seed for the community. So you can imagine by shock when I woke up yesterday to discover I needed to seed over 200GB to prevent my download rights from being revoked!

      I submitted a help desk ticket but I hope you can understand my anxiety over this unexpected event causes me to reach out here as well.

      I wanted to bring this bug to the admins' attention to help others who might experience the same bug. I also hope that I can have this bugged 300GB charge for downloading a freeleech torrent removed my from my account so that I can maintain my status as a member of the community in good standing.

      The freeleach torrent was this one: https://www.gaytor.rent/details.php?id=7b9cbd7018c07680a7c7d830eb19988505ed7f35cfe9dd89

      Thanks for your time!

        @Thesock Did you happen to check how long was left on the freeleech before you started it? Could the freeleech possibly have expired shortly after you started the download? That would be the most logical explanation.

          @Thesock Usually this kind of thing happens when your torrent client reports data to the tracker after the freeleech has ended on the torrent. See, your torrent client only updates with the tracker once every 30 minutes for each torrent. Even though your torrent client may have completed the torrent BEFORE the period expired, if the data is not reported to the tracker until after the freeleech has ended, the traffic can end up getting counted towards your totals.

          In your case, the timeline works as follows:

          24 hour freeleech: 2023-09-11 09:02:23
          Freeleech end: 2023-09-12 09:02:23
          Torrent completed: 2023-09-12 14:22:27
          24 hour freeleech: 2023-09-12 16:45:12

          So.... Any data reported to the tracker between 2023-09-12 09:02:23 and 2023-09-12 16:45:12 would have been counted towards your totals. This is not a glitch. This is how it's always been.
