Thread: torrentleech + rutorrent upload amount ?

has anyone had a problem with torrentleech user stats showing vastly different upload amounts than what my rutorrent UI shows on my seedbox? I don't notice this with any other trackers i have on the seedbox, but a few of the torrents i have downloaded from there i have problems with. Like my TL snatch list showing 175mb while my seedbox UI showing 5gb?

You should stop (press the red stop button and make sure the torrent stauts says "Completed") the torrent for a while so that the tracker can update.

Make sure you exit your client properly, so that the tracker receives "event=completed".

From the TorrentLeech FAQ

Make sure DHT is off, you could be sharing whilst not informing the tracker.
Some uploaders forget to turn off DHT (direct peer to peer) in the torrent, but you can check and change it manually.
If it is on, its a good idea to report the torrent.

thanks for these tips. I'm not sure if either of these really apply to my situation though. i'm running these torrents on a seedbox using rutorrent. so i don't really exit the program, and DHT is off by default. Again, it's sporadic. i have some files that show the same amounts on my torrent interface and in me torrentleech up/down list, others that are vastly different.

UPDATE. and problem solved.

based on some research elsewheres, it seems like the culprit is the fact that i am on a shared seedbox, and someone else on the box was seeding the same torrent at the same time. thought i'd post that here in case anyone else was wondering why this might happen.
