Masxmasx Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hello,in case a tracker goes down and data has not been submitted yet, does utorrent keep the data when it is shut down, would it submit the data next time utorrent starts and the tracker is up?Or would the data be lost?(with data I mean statistics, how much is uploaded or downloaded)Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 When you stop the torrent or shut uTorrent down, the statistics are dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masxmasx Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 When you stop the torrent or shut uTorrent down, the statistics are dropped.Thanks for the quick reply.What is the reason uTorrent behaves this way? Wouldn't it be quite easy to have it remember the stats for the next time it starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Because it's the way it's supposed to behave by protocol. You stop the torrent or close the program, the session ends.The information included in the tracker announce is per-session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 If it stores the data persistently cross-session, then anyone could just cheat by exiting, editing the statistics, and restarting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masxmasx Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 If it stores the data persistently cross-session, then anyone could just cheat by exiting, editing the statistics, and restarting.Now they can cheat by blocking the connection to the tracker, stopping utorrent, enable connection again and start utorrent again.That is only useful to not-report your downloading stats obviously though.But this thread can be closed, my question is answered.Thanks!
