Accidental Ghost leeching

As long as it was giving me a hand job it wouldn't be a problem.

Hmmm...then that would be a dilemma.

The OP could always join AOM, download a Ouija torrent to find out how to communicate with the ghost that used his a/c ? and tell him to f*&# off and get his own a/c's

upon further investigation...

it appears the ghost is the original account holder and this asshole has been using his passkey for months

the ruling is for the defendant...the plaintiff is hereby sentenced to reincarnation as a cumrag for the next 10 lifetimes and will also be required to pay a $3 restitution

court is adjourned

Just little note: This is normally happening when you use rTorrent. I delete .torrent from /watch directory, it automatically delete it from rTorrent client and it's no longer seeded. But sometimes I see on the tracker that I am still seeding it. This is usually just for 10-20 minutes and then I am no loner reported as seeder. I don't know what is causing it...

Edit: Oh I just realized I may not be talking about the same problem :-)

You guys are still mixing up Ghost leeching, and ghost torrents.
Ghost torrents will disappear after a period of time.. one or two announce cycles.. You would never get banned for ghost torrents because that means you aren't in the swarm and you are not getting anything without doing ratio updates.. Why would an admin ban for ghost torrents? You aren't getting anything for free.

Ghost leeching is when you are still downloading from peers, but not announcing to the tracker. The main thing about ghost leecing is that you are STILL in the SWARM. When an admin suspects you are ghost leeching, they should wait a couple of tracker announce cycles to ensure you are not announcing again.

And.. ghost leeching isn't always on purpose, even though admins like to ban quickly because they like to think that they caught a cheater and assume everyone is a cheater. A misconfigured client can cause ghost leeching as well. Scenario is you connect to the tracker , then suddenly the tracker times out for you and will not reconnect. Timeouts could be because you have DHT enabled and your router is getting overwelmed.. or you have your utorrent max_halfopen sessions set to something like 100 but your tcp patch is no longer valid (recent MS patches?), or even you have your upload set too high. Any tracker errors that start after you first connected to the tracker successfully, but now cannot could be misconstrued as ghost leeching.
