orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hello,I just discovered an interesting "bug", at least that's all I can think it is with what I see.I downloaded some torrents and after they completed, I thought I'd just leave them open for sharing reasons (golden rule!). The weird part came when I tried to check to whom I am uploading. As spoiled by the title, I was uploading to non other than myself! The torrents were completed in my torrent list, whereas they were around 72% and 95% on the uploading peers list, that is to myself's system. To provide more details:I was uploading to "my-ip-address" [uTP], Flags U IEP.The system I use is Windows XP (yup, still) and I have a network NAS drive, WD 2TB where I was currently downloading the torrents in talk. I have a feeling that the network drive has something to do with it. I also have ftp open, but I checked, no movement was performed at the moment.So why was that happening??Thanks, hope we solve the mystery together.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Do you have resolve IPs turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yes I do. The "resolved" IP looked familiar, that's why I chose it off and there I saw my IP address. I knew because I have a static one provided but I double-checked anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Screenshot please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I thought it might be handy so I took one yesterday. The IP address obviously is the same, I wouldn't post this if it weren't. The webpage is whatsmyip.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 you sure there isn't another computer on your network downloading the torrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I am sure, yup. I checked with my neighbours although the possibility of them simultaneously downloading the same torrents from the same private tracker was extremely low. Furthermore, more of my torrents started behaving like that! After I restarted utorrent, this phenomenon stopped.In general, I think this happened when I downloaded something and left it to upload afterwards without restarting utorrent in the meanwhile. If you want to, I could try to re-create this in the same way. Otherwise, let me know any further information you need! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Reproduction steps are essential to find if this is indeed a bug.Also, if you can reproduce the issue, see if you can reproduce it in 3.1.3 and 3.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Ok it does not only occur under those circumstances, it happened as I re-opened utorrent now.New screenshot as well, this time my ip appears twice (and it did 3 times, too), with a different utorrent client, as well!It's getting weirder and weirder. A friend suggested I might be using my WD's Network disk built-in torrent client, but I don't know whether mine has this feature nor I have done anything to launch it.

orestisg Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I will run some more tests, and if they are successful I will try after restarting my Network disk, as it may be part of the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orestisg Posted March 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hello again,after running some restarts on my router/network hdd, the results remained the same.So, I attempted updating my μtorrent to the latest available for me, 3.1.3. It presented the same behaviour, uploading to myself once again This time, in my attempt for a new torrent download, it appeared that I am downloading from myself as well! The screenshot below is from that phenomenon. The weird part is that it shows that it shows that I'm "self-downloading" from my previous μtorrent version, 3.1.2, whereas I now use 3.1.3.The only thing I haven't tried is if it behaves similarly when I'm downloading to my inner HDD and not the network HDD. Still though, is there really an issue with the network disks?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
