Demonoid Confusion

Quote:

Fact - Demonoid torrents have the 'private' flag set to 'off'.

Some don't. That's why you can find "DHT patch" mods for different uTorrent versions on TPB. Demonoid's tracker has had its fair share of downtime in the past, and someone had the idea of removing uT's private flag check, so that he'd be able to finish his downloads, because many (although not all) of the Demonoid torrents he was trying to download had the flag set to 1, due to an uploader's mistake.

Fact - Demonoid torrents do not use passkeys.

True.

Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are logged in) will have a 'member-number' in the filename.

---

Wrong. That isn't a member number, it's just a number. My Demonoid UID begins with 443, while the number in torrent files begins with 632.

Fact - Torrents downloaded from Demonoid (while you are a 'guest') will not.

True, they won't have that number.

Fact - Demonoid torrents downloaded from other index sites (i.e - The Pirate Bay) will not count towards your ratio at Demonoid (even tho it is tracked by Demonoid).

They will if you've logged in to Demonoid with the same IP at the time, regardless of where you get the .torrent file from.

I am only rehashing this cause in the last week i have downloaded some Thomas and Friends episodes for my son. They were internal torrents that only listed Demonoid as the announce tracker...

http://inferno.demonoid.me:3414/announce

Seeded them back to about a 3:1 ratio and my stats have never changed. I was logged in (my username avatar and stats are in upper left hand corner) and everything was downloaded to my computer...No box involved. The torrents are 2-3 days old now.

I bring this up as there was something else I got a few months back under similar circumstances that I seeded 10+ GB back and stats never changed.

I wonder if they have simply stopped updating stats? Has any regular users had their stats change as of late?

No, I am not terribly concerned about this. Yes, I am simply making conversation. Besides, I kinda enjoyed this thread when it was going back when ;)

Tricks in demonoid:

Before dwnlaoding a torrent from demonoid, stop all active demonoid torrents in your torrent client, log out from demonoid account, then again log in, start seeding-leeching torrents, download new torrent(s) from demonoid, and start leeching/seeding it. Remember demonoid updates their site once in a day, between GMT 9.30AM-9.45AM... So, remember to stop all your active torrents at least once just before that....

Source: one of the demonoid mod (7-8 months ago).
Dunno how their system work now.

It's happened to me numerous times. Sit there and see a bunch, but then nothing changes or you DL and then take a huge hit without the accompanied seed ratio adjustment. I just think that's how their site is.

Did you stop the torrent(s) in your client? The tracker only updates stats when it receives an "event=stopped" message.

I dn't think they care to much about ratio.. Amst a ratio free site. So you can do/leech/seed whatever you want.

There you go.

Thing is. Demonoid is the greatest tracker in the world, but no ones want to admit it. So Demonoid is the slut of the world, right? Not really. It's an awesome tracker loved by everyone, hated by the elitist, and loved by everyone again. I love it, and always have. And so should you.
