Multi-Tracker torrents

[mbucari1]

Hey, does anyone know stats are reported for multi-tracker torrents? Is the total upload and download reported to both trackers, or does the client keep track which which tracker the peers you're connected to are from?

the stats report to both trackers.

i've downloaded a multi-tracker torrent from Demonoid once and as far as i remember, the total download and upload have been reported to the tracker (i found it surprising though).
that said, you have to know that multi-trackers torrents are generally forbidden on private trackers..

OK, didn't know that. I had already downloaded win 7 rc1 from one tracker and forgot about it. I grabbed the same torrent from a different tracker and loaded in in utorrent. It said the torrent was already present and asked if I wanted to load the trackers from it. That just got me wondering how stats report with multi-tracker torrents.

never do that on any private tracker, you would get banned for cheating.

The reason it said that the torrent was already present, is that there is still a copy of it on your system. It will be found at - C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent

not true at all ! the only trackers who dont allow it are the high level one's

huh?
could you name me a private tracker that allow multi-trackers torrents (except Demonoid) ?

[patiesmiz]

Demonoid is not private, but public.
And there's NO private tracker that allows multitracked stuff, upload a torrent set as public on your client with more than an address to a private tracker and you get banned immediately

for the record, Demonoid is semi-private
