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

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 ;)

Site can in fact limit how many peers you are allowed to connect to as Anon said. Most don't however. There are quite a few that will only give you 50 per scrape. Also the torrent client itself can limit how many you get if you check your settings.
I doubt limiting would have anything to do with anti-piracy. If they were worried about anti-piracy they would close open signups and mass advertising the site first imho.
 
I just tried to download stuff from that site. Great speed and I shared back as well. No complaints from me.

I think it is the matter of time before lots of users will be banned for poor ratio, cheating, scam, faking etc...

Even some countries will be banned.

I have my (MCS) master degree in SQL ;)
and i am well familiar with C/C++/Java/C#/PHP/HTML/DHTML/XML/photoshop cs.

My Best Part is optimizing codes. I am working at GAF ;)
My 1 hour of coding/fixing bugs costs 45$!

Don't judge/comment about someone who you don't know else you will look stupid/idiot :yup:
 
lol it's so obvious about the stats faking it's sad.
If I go to cross seed a torrent with 0 seeders seeders jumps up to two. If I download a torrent with 0 leechers leechers number jumps up to two as well.
Since they lie about stats everyone with an account there needs to download and use something that also lies about upload and download amounts to make it fair.
You can't argue with that proof, peers do not magically appear on torrents that are dead.
Yes I made an account to say how horrible a site is, who hasn't done this before?

So I decided to do a little investigating -

You won't find any valid user ID under 99000. You can try, I've already tried multiple times to find users with a ID below that, to no avail.

My theory is also confirmed by the fact that the "Torrentday" SysOp user is user ID 99904, and from thereon out the member ID's become valid. So unless 99k members magically vanished or were pruned (doubtful considering I've seen accounts that haven't logged on since day 1 and aren't pruned), AND managed to join before even the owner of the site joined, these statistics are complete crap.

Most likely these faked statistics were used to initially spur users to join the site, thinking that they already had a lot of members, which they obviously don't. Even so, obtaining 100k members is still nothing to sneeze at, if those later statistics have even the slightest ounce of truth in it.

Finally, I downloaded a torrent for the heck of it and Utorrent only reports half the peers that the site does. Even more faking of statistics to make users think the site is bigger than it is?

I think the real question is, how much are you willing to invest in a tracker that tries so hard to deceive its members?

Heh, that's pretty interesting (even if there might be a sensible explanation).

To be honest, and this is just my opinion, I'm not a member of the site and have nothing tangible either against it (or for it) but I do find such apparently insane growth a bit suss... gotta question how many of those would be dupes, leechers or other such things rather than genuine, active and rule-abiding accounts. And you've also kinda gotta question site security with the way its url has been spammed all over the net since it started, and also more generally the long-term sustainability of somewhere that's had such rapid growth so early in its existence (if its user numbers are even remotely accurate).

Merwais - with all due respect fella, you hardly qualify as an impartial voice about this place, I don't know what your link is with it and I don't really care all that much.... but I think its perfectly valid and not paranoid at all for people to be a bit cautious about somewhere that grows at such an insane rate when many established trackers have issues with lack of activity. I hate to tell you this but technical number of members does not = best site, in any area on the internet really, not just p2p. How many of them use the site properly, don't h&r or cheat, seed properly, fill requests, help other users etc? How secure is the site, how well coded is it, how experienced are the staff, how safe their sources, how well behaved with donations etc? Those are the important things. Perhaps torrentday also has the bestest users and staff ever, but just because its gained 50 trillion users in 4 months open doesn't necessarily make it great.

Oh, and btw, TD = Torrent Damage. Find another abbreviation, Tdy or something :)
 
They're stealing some money for a new house,or maybe a car... :)
And after that they are going down because the police stole the servers :happy:

They can have a script up at other trackers to race releases from other trackers to their own, at which point all that's left is for users to join swarms.

It's possible, I remember there being guides on ScT about how to race ScT's releases to your own tracker, so...
