hntgzr Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 I run a tracker and have recently been having issues with some clients including uTorrent (up to and including the latest version).We record all downloads via a php script. It simply records the torrentid, userid and the date the download was completed.The database is sent a simple script when the client sends the tracker an Event of Completed.Everything works okay with the script, however, just recently some clients have appeared to be sending multiple completes to the tracker. Now, not being a coder (other than PHP, etc), I do not know if it's a tracker issue or whether its a client issue.With this in mind, could you tell me the critieria for uTorrent sending a Completed event? Is there anyway it could send it twice, for example, if our php scripts were busy at the time, would it re-send or simply ignore the fact it couldn't register a Completed event with the announce script?I'm a bit puzzled over this one!

DreadWingKnight Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 CTorrent is the ONLY client I know of that sends needless "Completed" eventsAll other clients send only at the point of completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 All other clients send only at the point of completion.Which means that if the tracker isn't around, it doesn't get the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hntgzr Posted August 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 Which means that if the tracker isn't around, it doesn't get the event.So, in theory, if the tracker is down or the announce.php script is busy at the point of the completed announcement, the Completed event will not be recorded.With that in mind then, I'm thinking the issue lies with the client. However, if this is the case, then why has the issue only started to appear in the last month or so, but not before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
