ETA times incorrect

uTorrent v2.2.1 Build 25130

The ETA on the torrent is incorrect. I've got 2 torrents downloading, both 1.09Gb in size. The one downloading faster is showing a longer ETA than the one downloading at a slower speed.

Just thought I'd point that out.

I'm only stating behaviour not previously observed. It has always seemed to be relatively accurate before. The numbers seem to be off now. If there is a valid reason for it, great, otherwise, I wasn't aware that the calculation for ETA had drastically changed to account for the reported discrepancy.

There is however a clear bug in ETA calculation when there is nothing left to download. I have a torrent for example which has no seeds, it's 97% here, but 4 fragments are red and don't exist among the peer group who are all waiting patiently in case a seed turns up again some time I guess for those last 4 fragments.

The ETA is never as far as I'm concerned or more accurately simply indeterminable, it's based on the pure chance a seed may turn up. Yet it consuistsently suggests an of a week or two anyhow ... that's a sort of silly thing to suggest and clouds columns sorted on ETA with some meaningless number that should just bbe an n/a or something.

I noticed that too that's why I deleted Utorrent and kept frost. Actually a tested using the same torrent on Frostwire and Utorrent and they downloaded it approximately at the same speed ( around 180 kb/s) But the problem was that Frost showed an eta of 9 hours while Utorrent Had an ETA of 3d!! what the... That's gotta be Wrong but I kept reading about Utorrent and how it was the most popular among These clients So I decided to ask about it here. ( I might add that I had a better share ratio on Utorrent than on frost)

I would be grateful for your responses
