shadek Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Look at the total amount of peers. Is that possibly a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Ooooold bug. We also have no idea what causes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadek Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Rodger that, I think I've found the cause of it. It's the tracker's fault. When I later on checked the private tracker, it said there were over 6 million peers connected, so it's not µTorrent. Glad I'm here, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user9475 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I noticed that one pop up the othe day on a torrent, and it still hasn't disappeared:I'm glad to hear that it's an old bug, and only a very minor annoyance, not a problem.

Firon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 So it's the tracker screwing up and not µTorrent?Perhaps displays of >65535 peers wrap around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user9475 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 in the above screenshot, here's what the tracker shows in the details page:it shows the 2 seeds properly in µTorrent, but not the 0 leech count. shadek, are the torrents that you're on have a 0 count of leeches?

shadek Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 No, it has more than 2 leechers. I am 100% positive it's a tracker issue, not µTorrent issue.I give you right in one thing (user9475); this bug occurs when there are relatively few seeds. Examples taken directly from the site:Seeds: 35 Leechers: 4,294,967,294Seeds: 22 Leechers: 4,294,967,294etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcaholjunkie Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Isn't 65535 the highest value the an integer can be or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Besides that, it's reporting the same exact numbers for two different torrents, which is VERY unlikely given such a high number connected (lol 4.3 billion eh...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emtec666 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Coincidentally (or not?) 65535 is the last port in the IANA recommended (unassigned) port region (49152-65535)That number sounded so familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind~oz Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 65535 is also the port number reported when you do a list of peers for all peers with no port visible ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 the number of peers and seeds and such is a 16-bit number in µTorrent, so if there actually was a real value larger than 65535, it would wrap around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadek Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think we found the cause then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Of course, I don't think there's any swarm that large, and if there was, it's probably faked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 People, 65535 is the largest number you can express with 16 binary digits... that's why it's familiar (largest port number, integer, etc, since those values are expressed in two bytes).Perhaps displays of >65535 peers wrap around...Wrap around? In that case, wouldn't they be a random number which is 65535 * x less than the real number of peers?Leechers: 4,294,967,294No way! half of the people on Earth leech ahahSince there are only 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses available, I guess there are two people who haven't jumped on the torrent yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inf Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 65535 is 0xFFFF, or -1, and it really looks as simple 16 bits uint wraparound (downward)Same about 4294967294 (0xFFFFFFFE or -2), but 32 bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
