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

There are two kinds of scrape, official and official+unofficial
official returns these keys ONLY!!!
a main key called Files, has pair of key/value of these
- complete: peers with 100%, ones who sent event=completed and still on the torrent(in other words.. Seeds).
- downloaded: how many times "event=completed" was sent (ie, snatches)
- incomplete: meaning the leeches
- name: sometimes trackers use it, sometimes they don't.
UNOFFICIAL:
failure reason
flags (contains min_request_interval)

Public, private, grandpa's tracker or even grandma's tracker... that's the Scrape info.


having that said, what merwais said about cutting percentage of the peer list, that happens ONLY with REALLY REALLY popular torrents, and even small trackers with 5Kpeers on a torrent, they can handle that.
 
Could you please not defend sites which so blatantly belong to the same people?
It's getting annoying, and even the most casual viewers at FST must by now think you're connected to those sites in some way. Are you their ISP ?
Rart's conclusions were all correct until now. When anon-sbi mentioned the delactt.php, it was promptly removed after your last visit. I know it worked, I used it.
And TorrentDay obviously has people watching what goes on here. I wonder who could it be... :rolleyes:

Now, am I the only one who is seeing a pattern here?
 
Rart, you are paranoid my friend :)

Even 30-50k registered member is enough for a private tracker which is online for 3-4 month ;)

I know a sysop who is hidden and id is just above 1 :P

torrents.ru - their torrents have 6-7k peers each of them, if you download, they will not allow you to get inside 4-7k peers at once, they will allow you to reach maximum to 50-60 peers first, they are doing this for anti piracy companies not to trace all swarm.

Learn some C++ coding and MySQL also ;)

any way, fuck them, good for TD owner, why should we care LoL
at least he got the users.

xnt.nu been online for the paste 5 months or more... they have 15,850 members only and more then half of those users are idle.

Remember, even TL have 180k registered members and i am very sure 65% of those members are idle !

You ever saw a torrent with 150k peers on TL ? NO !!!!
 
The scrape procedure is exactly the same.

Each torrent have a unique ID !

The SHA1 hash, yes.

Each member have a unique passkey.

Which is part of the URL.

For Example.

...

300+50 a total of 350 unique rows in MySQL database.

When client is sending a request to get total amount of peers.
Private tracker source sends a request to MySQL for the unique torrent ID to check the total amount of seeders and leechers.

It will plus all rows which includes seeders and leechers and sending back to the client.

This is where you're getting it wrong. As far as I can see, the tracker doesn't go through all the rows to send you the totals. The counts are calculated like this:

PHP: 
 $ret = mysql_query("INSERT INTO peers ... or err('tracker error');
		if ($ret)
		{
			if ($seeder == "yes")
				$updateset[] = "seeders = seeders + 1";
			else
				$updateset[] = "leechers = leechers + 1";
		}

That's a fragment from announce.php from the TBdev source. The "..." means I cut off that part because it was too long, feel free to check it out here:
http://www.koders.com/php/fidE3B1B27C4B87417AA047975CD7D18F5FF2C756F9.aspx?s=mysql

If seeder = yes (meaning someone just jumped the torrent with &left=0), then seeders = the old amount of seeders plus 1. Else (someone jumped with a non-zero &left= value), leechers = the old amount of seeders plus 1. That's how the seeder and leecher numbers are calculated. The tracker doesn't go through all the rows. It only sends those amounts.

If the guy has stopped the torrent, we do the opposite, i.e. subtract one from the according amount:
PHP: 
if ($event == "stopped")
{
	if (isset($self))
	{
		mysql_query("DELETE FROM peers WHERE $selfwhere");
		if (mysql_affected_rows())
		{
			if ($self["seeder"] == "yes")
				$updateset[] = "seeders = seeders - 1";
			else
				$updateset[] = "leechers = leechers - 1";
		}
	}
}

I think you're confusing scraping with announcing and how some trackers won't give you all the peer IPs you request here. Furthermore, the latter doesn't happen because of anti-piracy agencies, but simple bandwidth saving, and the tracker only gives you a set amount of peers, not a %.

and anon-sbi, you know it better how a torrent client works

I can assure you I know how torrent clients work.

By the way, it's interesting to see how I mentioned delacct.php and now it's gone, then I mentioned the Top 10 and now it's gone... perhaps I should talk about browse.php? :huh:
 
iLOVENZB, i can see leecher numbers are matching 100%.

On their site it shows: 267 leechers
and on your client, it shows: 272 leechers

Seeder shows 3430 and on your client: 1723, maybe they didn't allow you to scrape whole seed peers ;)

I don't see any problem there, data is matching. so there is nothing to bitch about.
