Request for info about tracker communication

Recommended Posts

If the option is enabled, the statistics that uTorrent sends to utorrent.com is:

The total # of bytes you uploaded

The total # of bytes you downloaded

The total # of files you downloaded

The total running time of uTorrent

No tracker would react on that, so that is not the reason for ban

For the tracker communication, if anyone can tell me how it's supposed to work, I'd be happy to know. The BitTorrent tracker protocol is underdocumented at this point, so it's not easy to know what private trackers actually expect.

The 3 pieces of info reported to the tracker is:

downloaded = how much uTorrent downloaded in this session (reset to 0 when you restart the torrent)

uploaded = how much uTorrent uploaded in this session (reset to 0 when you restart the torrent)

left = how many bytes you have left

key = random value that is randomized each time you restart a torrent.

the START command is sent each time you start the torrent, unless you are seeding. If you are seeding, no START command is sent. the STOP command is sent each time you stop the torrent, and the COMPLETE command is sent only once when you finish the torrent.

now with this new version (1.1.3) the statics are sent by default, without any setting/request? (like previous versions)?
