Wrong speed reported to tracker = BAN

Hi;

Being an torrent happy-user for a long time now i get a "warn" on a private tracker (deviloid.net). They said my client is reporting an UPLOAD speed that is too high (more than 600KBytes/sec when my ISP connection is up to only 75KBytes/sec). I'm wondering know how this can happen to do the repair on my system and maybe many others...

Everything else is working very fine on my PC, good speeds, stable, very-low retransmitted packets.

My system is set-up to the "Best Settings" recommended at this forum AND on Win-XP settings (TCPIP) founded at "speedguide" and "dslreports"; as is:

Single PC connected to Internet via Cable-Modem (Motorola SBV5120), no router.

ISP: Cable PPPoA, download = 4Mbit/sec, upload = 600kbit/sec (presumed not TS)

uT v1.8.1 B12639

Until now (and not considering that private tracker) i didn't got any "warn" or "ban". And i don't know how to check this, since the upload speed is reported to the tracker, not to me... If i go for some trial-and-error settings i will be banned, lose all my ratio, and can't be able to create a new account with the same NIC-MAC / Computer-Name...

Does somebody have an idea of what is messing up with the upload-speed-rate reported to the tracker?

Many thanks in advance. Great work, great site, great app.

HAVE A VERY HAPPY 2009!

Thanks!

Yeah... those 100Mbit ppl don't let the bits go thru my poor 600kbit link... this is not the case.

Adm-people at that tracker are very agressive with cheaters.

They compare everything they can with the collected data to ban cheaters, wich is very good.

And second to them, my client is reporting speeds that are supposed to be unreal. My uT is showing normal speeds at status-bar, graphics, and at the torrents (always under 72KB peak).

Any idea?

Posted

Yeah stop dwling porn!!

More seriously, if you didn't cheat, the problem comes from the tools from the tracker to detect potential fakers... :/

A classic detection is the detection of an high flat UL speed when the average UL speed is low, especially on torrents with few peers.

A possible explanation?:

That tracker probably is having issues of its own...which caused your uTorrent to miss a tracker update. The next tracker update, the whole amount you downloaded/uploaded gets reported and it thinks that's a near-instantaneous amount and it looks like cheating.

my thank's to moogly & Switeck.

just to be clear: i don't cheat, period.

and, as i see at this moment, nothing can be done.

so, i can't prove that i'm not cheating and i can't prevent from being false-charged. because there's no way to show/prove to the tracker what is happening.

is it? no way?

Ask the tracker about any outages they've had...ESPECIALLY around the time of your supposed cheating?

Even missing a tracker update may be throwing them off. Lots of tracker software is complete junk...

You could do research on what tracker software they use if they're willing to tell you that much.

Posted

can't have any information about outages or sw, just nothing.

seems that, they treat suspicious as guilty!!! i'm very disapponted and frustrated.

i'v tried. and i wasn't there only for 1 day (more than 1,5TB uploaded, ratio +5,5, over 1yr.)

no-go. no-way.

well, let´s find another tracker... and no-more 24x7 uploading, no-more ratio over 1-1,5. EVER.

meanwhile, if any new light comes through the tunnel...

THANKS, Switeck. You were very kind. A special 2009, happy and healthy!

Best Regards,

Hello,

I'm undigging this topic because I had a similar issue recently with tracker T411.

After 2 years of happy downloading, I have been flashed at 15 MBps by the tracker and thus banned from it.

I use an ADSL connection which doesn't exceed 100 kBps and do not have a seedbox and so on.

I use uTorrent 3.2.3. Are there any bugs with this version that could explain what happened ?

I understand that a tracker outage might explain this from previous posts.

I also had an issue with 2 torrents : the files were downloaded all right, but the torrent file stayed in the folder where uTorrent looks for new torrent to load them.As a result, each time I started uTorrent, it added this torrent as new, checked it against what was downloaded and then considered it finished immediately.

Until I found out why this behavior occured, several weeks had passed and I had dozen of duplicate entries in my completed torrents.

Could this be also a possible reason for the speed issue with the tracker ?

Thanks for your help !

edit: for typos

Also, is there a way to tell uTorrent to log all its activity in a log file ?

If yes, would the info uploaded to the tracker be logged in it ?

I'm looking for a way to prove I'm not cheating if the same thing happens again

Posted

Hello,

just a quick bump, thanks for your time.

1- No chance that my issue with the 2 torrents might have caused the issue ?

2- can the info uploaded to the tracker be logged some way or another ?
