TorrentDay fakes stats and members! Be aware of this site.

I think this site is one big leech heaven, you can seed as much you want, but if you want to download a torrent 1 month old and 50 seeders you probably wont get more then 500 KB/s

Currently we have 1,016,325 registered members.

wow

[elbuitre]

that's... very unlikely

[anon]

wow

I'd comment on how that's a blatant lie, but I want to check whether merwais' "shit-storm mode" activates by me merely posting on a TorrentDay thread!

Bull-fucking-shit... The staff at that tracker must have actually started believing their own bollocks

It's open signup, I always go to this site for finding some 0day, it's a useful site in fact...

I bet you always stick your tongue to frozen poles in the winter too, don't you?

go to torrents.ru

they show peers 9000+, if you download it, you will see only 3-5% of the peers.

Not connected but total peers, it will show only 3-5% It won't even show you that torrent have 9k peers on it.

If a tracker is preventing you to scrape whole peers list from their database, then that doesn't mean Peers are wrong or whateva.

You are paranoid or maybe acting like a dumb !!!

No. I think you're just blindly protecting the tracker.

I just downloaded the most popular torrent on IPT, with 4400 seeders.

ALL 4400 seeders show up on my client.

When I download from TorrentDay, it conveniently decides to always display exactly "half" the peers. Even when the peers are massive, with the site displaying 5200+, it only displays ~2600. And exactly half the leechers as well.

It's not that the site is preventing me from scraping more than 3-5% in case I'm a "copyright agency". There are blatantly lying about their peer count.

Not to mention the fact that their credibility is also undermined by the fact that they have lied and overexaggerated their member count by over 100,000. Care to explain that discrepancy as well?

Oh and your constant advertising of the site in the open signups thread, your undying praise of IPT in nearly everyone of your posts, and your odd, seemingly dedicated hatred of RevTT for no apparent reason certainly lend to your credibility as well.

This is not a site to trust.

Edit: I have tried downloading a torrent from torrents.ru. It appears to have a different system, where in the total peers column it will still only display the peers you are connected to. However, since on TD I see all of the 2000 peers immediately, it's obviously not using a similar system as torrents.ru and isn't a valid comparison between the two. Perhaps anon could elaborate more on how this works, I'm not really familiar with trackers.

I really cant read all this because I think that site dont deserve that. I registered when they started and from very same start they faked seeders and leachers. EVERY SEEDER WAS DOUBLED. So when You see 2 seeders its actualy one guy seeding. There were NO impair number of seeders there. Same was with leechers but they made some script to change that. Last time I checked they also had pair number of seeders. Check it Yourself, they have pair number of seeder on EVERY TORRENT. They build up their user base upon LIES and that will not end up good...

True. Look at the review screenshots and all the numbers of seeders and leechers are even.

What puzzles me is that I don't really know why they do that. At best, the sysop wanted to be "famous", installed a TBdev script on a server, and faked the stats so that people would be attacted. At worst, it's something much different - like a honeypot.

is it true somehow TorrentDay & IPT really have connection?
