Most common reason for stats not updating
- You are using a faulty client. If you want to use an experimental or CVS version you do it at your own risk.
- You are using BitComet that has peer caching and peer sharing abilities (and you are downloading torrents from other trackers too) In this case, your clients uses sources from peers that are not members of our tracker and not connected on our tracker, so the traffic downloaded/uploaded from/to them is not counted in your stats.
- We suggest to all users to use well tested clients like Azureus, ABC (not edition 3), BitComet (using the patch that disables peer sharing) in order not to have problems.
Multiple IPs (Can I login from different computers?) Yes, our tracker is using the passkey
[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]system[/color][/color], so the ip of the user is of no relevance, as the identification of the user is being done by the means of checking the user's passkey and not the ip.
Best practices
May I use any bittorrent client ? Yes. The tracker now updates the stats correctly for all
[COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]bittorrent[/color][/color] clients. However, we still recommend that you
avoid the following clients:
- BitTorrent++,
- Nova Torrent,
- TorrentStorm.
- Old editions of Bitlord & Bitcomet
!
In all cases disable the DHT in clients it is supported !
These clients do not report correctly to the tracker when canceling/finishing a torrent session. If you use them then a few MB may not be counted towards the stats near the end, and torrents may still be listed in your profile for some time after you have closed the client.
We STRONGLY recommend you use either Utorrent or Azureus, in both cases use the newest available version.
Clients such as bitcomet are unfair and place unecessary pressure on the tracker. Further use of clients such as BitSpirit is not allowed and will most likely lead to a Ban. Also, clients in alpha or beta version should be avoided.
