Borisz Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 When seeding a created torrent or seeding with 0 bytes downloaded, the ratio will start up from 0.000 instead of being inf.Happens in 1.1.7 build 293For a 106 meg torrent that I created, I uploaded 113 megs and my ratio is 1.060.

MrTufty Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I believe that's a change in the way it's reported now.So that figure is actually correct, you've uploaded 1.060x your original 106MB torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethg Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 It's a lot more useful information than inf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 6 percent of 106 is 6.36 .. 106+6.36 = a little under 113.So you infact seeded a whole copy plus 6 percent of another copy, making it 1.06 ratio. It is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchlady Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hii heard that the ratio on trackersite,s ar not working correctly is that treu?they even ban utorrent for this.Its a good program using it now but want to now if its treu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sethg Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I can verify that the upload/download statistics don't work on the public tracker sites that I use. I don't use any private trackers so I don't know if it works properly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 it's not banned on any private site I go to, and I have no discrepancies between uTorrent's reported stats and what the tracker shows (minus a few MBs lost to system crashes...)

chaosblade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Works fine on the only private tracker i use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With earlier versions there were some errors, but since version 1.1.6.1 or so, everything is reported as it should. Nu is er geen enkel probleem, Madam.

Borisz Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I know its mathematically correct but on torrents with 0 download, inf should be the default ratio, or at least it is on many clients.Besides, what should the site ratios display then if they would count it that way? upload: 100 mb, download: 0 mb, ratio: 100.000 ? That would most definetaly be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 They changed it to start at 0.000 ratio, since it's a much more useful display than inf. It's only a visual change, it has nothing to do with what's reported on the tracker. The point of it is for, say, when you seed a torrent and need to know how many times you've uploaded the file (1.5, 6, etc)And the ratio is based off the torrent size. So 100mb uploaded, 0 downloaded, on a 50mb torrent would display a ratio of 2.000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borisz Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 As far as I know, the trackers will just say "ratio inf" too.Either way you might as well want to change the display for it under the General tab too, so both of them display the same thing (it says inf in 1.1.7.2).

jibba Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 If I'm getting this right, µtorrent assumes for completed files that you have already downloaded a file once (even if you created it), so the file size becomes the divisor: ratio := uploaded / filesize, instead of uploaded / downloaded.upload: 100 mb, download: 0 mb, ratio: 100.000 ? That would most definetaly be wrong.Definitely. 100 / 0 = infinity, or undefined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 When you have not downloaded anything from the torrent, just seeded, the ratio is calculated (read: displayed) as Uploaded / Size instead of Uploaded / Downloaded.There is nothing diff. in the way its reported to the tracker, just the way its displayed. I think its useful information :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
