Demonoid Confusion

Why don't you pose that question, along with your theory that stats are tracked by member number and not IP addresses in Demonoid's forum where their own staff members can address it?

Because it doesn't bother me that it's broken.

In any event, it doesn't explain why Demonoid torrents still work... when you download them from a Pirate Bay account.

A. Because they're not 'private' torrents... and they never were.

It may not bother you, but you still seem to be under the impression that Demonoid stats are tracked by member number, and not IP addresses, and you're wrong about that. You don't seem to want to believe anything anyone here is telling you, so that's why I suggest you take the issue up with the Demonoid staff, and you can get your answer straight from the horses mouth.

Demonoid torrents will work no matter where you download them from. You're connecting to the Demonoid tracker, it doesn't care where you found the .torrent file.

Edit: This is from that link I posted earlier. I really recommend you read it...

I haven't downloaded anything from Demonoid in a while, but my ratio keeps changing. Should I assume my account was hacked, and if so how can it be checked/proved?

It could be a case of dynamic IP's at work. The one Demonoid had stored next to your account was probably assigned to someone else who was a member of Demonoid and their stats got added to yours.

Or you inadvertently downloaded and seeded a Demonoid tracked torrent from another site, unaware that the stats would be sent to the Demonoid tracker. This seems to be the reason it happens mostly, people downloading Demonoid tracked torrents from other torrent index sites.

Or lastly, you share a network with others (room-mates/family) and they might have done like above or downloaded directly from Demonoid using their own account.
In which case, Demonoid only sees the one external IP, so it's luck of the draw who gets the stats.

As I posted earlier... I download 3 copies of the same torrent from Demonoid... one while logged in, another as a 'guest' and the third while using TOR.

Now using this info... tell me why my ratio never changed?

My ratio isn't updating correctly, how can I fix it ?

To ensure your RATIO is properly recorded, two conditions must be met.

1) The Demonoid Tracker MUST have your PRESENT IP Address, associated with your Demonoid Account.

To associate the current IP with your account

Log out of your Demonoid account
Clear your browser's cache & cookies
Log in to Demonoid

To check that Demonoid has your current IP, look in your profile. The Last visit: should display a few seconds ago, like so~

2) Once the Demonoid Tracker has your PRESENT IP Address, you must send the "event=stopped" message, for each torrent tracked by Demonoid.

To send the event=stopped message from your torrent client

After you've associated your IP with your account on Demonoid, DO NOT EXIT your torrent client.
First you have to press STOP on each of the torrents in your torrent client that are using the Demonoid tracker.
This sends the "event=stopped" message to the tracker with your ratio stats for that particular torrent (since you last stopped the torrent).
Wait a short time, then you can restart the torrents if you want to continue seeding or exit the torrent client if you have finished.

Hopefully your ratio should be updated within 24 HOURS.

If those two conditions were met, then your stats would update. If they weren't, they won't. Also note that Demonoid only updates stats once per day.

My ratio hasn't changed since they were bumped off of Leaseweb.

Then you're not meeting the conditions mentioned in the previous post.

I seriously doubt that... given that it's been 3 years.
