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?

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.Quote:

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\uTorrentQuote:

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 :closedeye
No, it's public.
Non registred users can d/l the new torrents, only, from the website, and can get most of the old ones from any public engine such as isohunt, mininova, etc
No need to be registered on the site to get the torrents.
non-registers visitors are limited to 3 torrent downloads per week and you must register to download torrents older than a few days.
that's why Demonoid is a semi-private (or semi-public) tracker.
ok, if you want to call it like that, but AFAIK -and I am a staff member on Demonoid- it is, technically, a public tracker.
It's just a matter of words.
i think we'e not talking about the same yhing ..lol
im talking about uploading a torrent to 1 tracker and then uploading it to a second tracker .
that's not what the OP was talking about.Quote:

BUT, as you were told:

Then I guess you can turn ratio tracking and invites off, huh?Quote:

Get a clue.
No, it's not, but they are closely linked. When you open in utorrent the torrent you created for the second tracker, you will get the same message about the torrent already existing and the two trackers will be put together. Is there a workaround for that?Quote:

You should get your facts cleared. How are high level trackers different from 'so-called' low level trackers? They all use the same tracking system.Quote:
