Utorrent tells me the Seeder is a leecher with 0,0% completed

Hello,

I am not sure if this is a bug of utorrent or azureus or the tracker.

When looking in Utorrent i read this person have 0,0% completed, but when looking at the tracker i see this is the seeder of the torrent. Now after a day i see the leecher have completed to 0,5%.

I have veryfed the client and IP, there is one user with that type client, Azureus 2.3.0.7. and it is the seeder.

I'm going to assume that Azureus 2.3.0.7 is an experimental build or a patched/hacked client, right? Since both of these clients are in an experimental phase, there's no easy way to say which one is wrong. I'm afraid Ludde will have to debug this further... :/

I've seen this aswell, with the latest non-beta utorrent and 2.3.0.6 of Azureus. I had originally thought it was the way that the "seeder" was sharing his torrent.. It was a multi-file torrent and he seemed to be superseeding one file at a time in a specific order.

Maybe some ex-Azureus users could shed some more light on it?

Question?

We tried an experiment: we were one seeder and four leecher. we all used utorrent 1.3. so I asked the seeder to switch to superseeding. First of all he appeared as 0%-leecher in our peer-bar... and the superseeding didn't wor properly....

Will this be fixed?

I hope so. Because we love utorrent

@ firon: why is this so? atm I do seed a file. I am the only seeder and I have 7 leechers. So why am I shown as a 0%-leecher in their peer-list ? could this not be fixed ?

@ Ultima: 1) upload broke in. before super-seed the seeder had upload of 80 kb/s, after changing to super-seeding he had upload 45 kb/s. besides that reconnecting to the peers did last.... I don't understand why reconnecting is necessary?

Boardfee: a superseed tells the tracker that it's a seed but tells the other peers that it's a leecher. That's why they see you that way when you're superseeding.

Since a normal seed and a superseed present themselves entirely differently to the other peers, to switch seeding modes you have to drop all your connections and come back in the other condition. I believe you need to change your peer_id as well.
