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

Feel free to post a TCP dump of an scrape request returning peers. I'll post one proving the opposite myself:

Code: 
GET /scrape?info_hash=3%82%0d%b6%dd%5eY%28%d2%3b%c8%11%bb%ac%2fJ%e9L%b8%82 HTTP/1.1
Host: torrent.ubuntu.com:6969
User-Agent: uTorrent/1850(17414)
Accept-Encoding: gzip


HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Length: 119

Do you see any peer IPs there? I can't see any! The "files" dictionary only contains:
one key/value pair for each torrent for which there are stats

The rest of the values should be self-explanatory. "downloaded" is the amount of snatches on that torrent. "complete" is the amount of seeders. "incomplete" is the amount of leechers.

Also, let's have a look at the numwant thingy:
numwant: Optional. Number of peers that the client would like to receive from the tracker. This value is permitted to be zero. If omitted, typically defaults to 50 peers.

My quotes are from the BitTorrent protocol specification:

Happy now?

It's your opinion, don't judge for others ;)
Lots of people don't care where they advertise or from where members are coming from.
All i can see is they have members and huge number of members are joining TD tracker.

Your obvious association with the site (ie. your incessant spamming of the 'trackers open for signup' thread) makes me ignore your post, but I will say that waving stuff in peoples' faces by advertising a torrent site on in banner ads cant be a good thing... don't even ask about my other suspicions about this site being a front or money grab cause I wont get into it.

EDIT: also, TD is torrent-damage why are we talking about that when this thread is about torrentday?
 
I'm not fighting someone who loves so much and advertises a site like TorrentDay.

And yes, there's a site very similar to ScT, it's SCC.
 
I am just giving technical information about trackers system.
It's you guys who is ignoring the main point !

Learn C++ little bit and you will know it urself.
Stop shooting like blinds.

Donno why i am wasting my time with u guys who is not understanding anyshit about coding etc...

I am done with explaining. You are correct, they are bullshit :) happy now ;) ?

fight with each other. ROFL :P
 
I think that merwais has realized how completely wrong he is but is using the "I won't argue with you" excuse to cover his blatantly biased defense of TorrentDay from completely crumbling.

Oh and using words such as "kid" to address us in order to make it seem like he is a mature and all knowing adult that clearly has far more wisdom than any one of us could ever have.
 
anon-sbi, you should know, we are not talking about public tracker.

We are talking about private tracker.

Each torrent have a unique ID !
Each member have a unique passkey.
Each member have a unique row which records his total uploaded/downloaded amount and downloading/uploading speed and it counts as a 1 seeder(download) or 1 leecher(upload).

For Example.

If a torrent unique is: 123
and Torrent unique ID 123 have a total of 300 seeder and 50 leecher.
It means, there are 300 unique rows of seeders and 50 unique rows of leechers.

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.

row 1+2+3+4+5 = [total] and sends back to torrent client and it shows how many peers the unique torrent have in your torrent client.

In order to decrease MySQL load, some trackers have limited this request and only allowing to search only 5% or 50% of the peers which is in their MySQL database.

Limiting searching whole table for total peers is a great improvement for private trackers, if every single member send request to get all 350 rows, MySQL will be F**ked up ;)

and anon-sbi, you know it better how a torrent client works, it updates every 30 minute or 1 hour. it means requesting whole peers list every 30 or 1 hour and some buggy torrent clients have enabled update, members can update 100 times in a minute if they want to. they will start spamming and there will be a BIG MySQL FLOOD and site will be inaccessible !

Hope this makes things clear for you Mr.anon-sbi! :naughty:

Rart: please, if you can't put something useful to make this topic interesting then please STFU and read only. PLEASE!!!
It won't get you anywhere and you know it better ;)
 
Perhaps it's from being saturated in the drama and mishaps recently, but I'm just a little bit skeptical of a site that, seemingly out of nowhere, seems to be bursting out of it's seams with nearly 200k members.

I have signed up as well, hopefully the site proves me wrong though.
