Hello,
I'm after some advice really.
friend of mine sent me this app which I'm now using with great success.
The problem I'm having is that I'm only on a few small private sites and am trying to build a good ratio for screenshots to get invites into the bigger ones.
Well my mate and me are both on a site and he leeched 300 !
I wanted this film too so started downloading.
Problem is that all the other seeders stopped seeding and as my mate reached his required ratio without really seeding to 1 I'm now stuck at 20% Sad
If this app get too wide spread this could happen alot, cause hey why seed if your a leech right !
Is there no way I can tell if someone is using this so I can genuinly work out the health of a torrent ?

charltonchub, you just described what we are trying to say; sharing is caring, without the sharing, people don't care whether you finished just the 20%, more or even less.

I guess one really has to experience stuff him/herself to understand the point quite a few people have tried to make.

If more and more cheaters keep sending invalid upload data to the tracker, other peers will suffer under the circumstances. It's not just them, but the ball will bounce back at ya, as charltonchub just described. He doesn't like it, what would happen if more and more cheaters will use this to send fake upload info to the tracker? Indeed, the swarm will die while the overall coverage isn't complete, so more users will get stuck before they completed 100%

Look ppl, I'm using greedy because I've only got 12kB/s upload speed so find it real hard to maintain a ratio on sites which require me to hit 1:1.
On sites that dont ask for 1:1 on each torrent but require a set amount of seeding time I do goto the full time but these sites invariably dont have many leechers so I'm lucky cause with greedy I can still hit 1.
I wanted to know if it was possible to spot other greedy users so that I can measure the true health of a torrent.
If this thread is going to be spammed to death then perhaps a staffer can pm me ?

While it may be hard to detect users using greedytorrent from the peers list... I have found that checking the actual announces in the servers apache logs brings forth much fruit in detecting this sucky plugin.
Most people wouldnt bother checking such logs cause its kinda time consuming but me as well as others are in the process of making it more obvious when people are using this client. I have already been 14 people in the last 4hrs using this plugin. Looks like its back to the drawing board for the coders Wink
