Demonoid Confusion

[ticchen]

So in conclusion non members on Demonoid:
1. can't access forum
2. limited access on torrents

Got that right?
Sorry, but I'm trying =/

I believe the thread title is most appropriate...

Now if the OP can decipher and figure out who gave good info, who gave useless info, and who gave bad info...

There is alot of mis-information in this thread.

Semi-Private = the forums are private (registered members only), the Demonoid tracked torrents are private, the 'external' torrents are public.
Ratio is not meaningless, but it is not enforced... it's mostly a 'ego-thing'.
They do not track by IP address... they track by 'member number'.

For example - White.Collar.S02E04.By.the.Book.HDTV.XviD.FQM.269XXXX.6834.torrent

269XXXX.6834 is a member number... edit that number out of the torrent name, and it becomes a 'public' (non-ratio) torrent.

Anyone who tells you differently, is mis-informed.

You should let the Demonoid staff know that they don't track stats by a member's IP. They all seem to be under the impression that they do, and they're giving out a lot of misinformation in their forums...

3. Many Demonoid torrents can also be found on other trackers, such as The Pirate Bay, H33T, etc.

@P2PDog - It's been this way since they were knocked off of Leaseweb (to my knowledge, that's when I noticed it)... given that it's been under new management since then, they either don't know or don't care.

I was attempting to be facetious.

Everyone in this thread, and even the staff of Demonoid know that they track stats by IP address, and you're still not willing to admit you're wrong?

Ok, so here's my question...

When I download the exact same torrent (verified by MD5 check) from The Pirate Bay... how does Demonoid know my IP address?
Then tell me how they know it when I'm using TOR?

[P2PDog]

When you download or seed a torrent using the Demonoid tracker using the IP address that is currently associated with your account, they will track the stats for that torrent. If you log into the site with one IP, then download the torrent with a different IP (for example: using a seedbox) then the stats will not be recorded on your account.

Edit: If you don't believe me, then go have a look at the numerous posts in the Ratio Help subforum of the Demonoid forums.

I'd recommend starting with this one: http://fora.demonoid.com/index.php?topic=107626.0

If you download a torrent, and remove the 'member-number' from the file name... it won't count toward your ratio... regardless of what IP address you are using.

Of course it will, as long as you seed it from the same IP address that is currently associated with your Demonoid account.
What the file is named is irrelevant, as others have already explained to you.

Then perhaps you can explain to me why my ratio hasn't changed since they were bumped off of Leaseweb?

A. Same IP, edited filename.
