Not showing correct number of seeders

As it states in the subject.

In the category view, it might say there are 3-4 seeders, and when I click the download, showing it's description and such, then hit the back button, it then says there is only 1 seeder, which is correct, there's only one seeder, me. How can I fix this? XBTT currently isn't an option as I can't install G++ on my server (it's a shared server, redhat, and yum isn't installed.)

Are you using an external tracker?

No, using the php tracker.

That's weird. Could you check your conf.php and see if PHP tracker is really enabled (check announce and scrape URLs, PERFORM_SCRAPE should be set to false, TRACKER_TYPE to 'PHP')?

They're set like that, and I also have this

# Private tracker (attempts to disable DHT decentralized tracking)
define ( 'TRACKER_PRIVATE', false );

Shouldn't it be set to true if you want dht disabled? DHT is disabled when viewing it from a torrent downloader, so I guess it's set correctly. But that's a bit off topic.

Where did you find said constant?

I got this error too, I check the conf.php file, its right, well when I start a new session, it make a difference and the number of seeder is incremented although I got the same torrent pass ...
Its weird, why did it make a difference ?

In addition, I want to know how to set a timeout for the torrent session in the client, for example if u exceed 24h without login to the website, a message appear in the client to inform you have to be logged on the tracker . Is that possible ?

Thanks

I added it in from a thread. http://diferior.com/forum/thread/development/suggestions/private-tracker.html

Bit off topic, but personally, if I was part of a tracker like that, that would get highly annoying, and I would just find a different tracker to use. There's no point to be logged in for the duration that you download the file.

This is possible if anonymous tracker is disabled. You can then identify users by torrent pass and calculate the time user was inactive.

As for peers problem, are you sure it's not your browser cache?

Yes, but that may cause some security problems like account ID sharing, Session Hacks, and so on ...

The most of famous private tracker have this timeout system, i think its not useless, log to a website is not the most difficult thing !

@UnrealX : I've deleted the cache of the web browser, nothing has changed ...
I agree with you for the method, but could you be more explicit about that, im not sure how to do that, should i understand there is no function in Diferior ?

Again, it would be highly annoying. Having to log into a website just to run a bt download, is highly unnecessary. It may not be difficult, but I can assure you, you will lose members rather than gain members if they have to log in to the website just to download something. The initial download to get the right key, obviously you have to be logged in, but to have to log in during the entire download process, is again, highly unnecessary.

I have tested with the cache empty, but nothing has changed, the only thing that can be a problem is the difference maked by the tracker between the uploader's IP adress, because if I stop the upload and then I reupload from my client, the bug appear, number of seeder is incremented, but If you stop the upload, its not decremented ... I guess S/L numbers display in columns is the sum of Seeder/Leecher since the beginning of the upload but in the torrent announce, that must be the „active“ number which is displayed, and that dont work, the number is wrong ...

That would be better, to add a column „completed“ with the sum of leecher and the two others S and L which display the active number such as we can find on other tracker.

I've find from where the error comes, I just see one thing, one week before, I was uploading 4 torrents, then the computer where the torrents was seeded was turned off, and this evening i've just started up my computer and I've seeded one more torrent, so the number of torrents seeded is now of 5, you see me ?

So when i've started up seeding these torrents I've runned on the torrent page of my website, and what i see is this : the 4 first torrents seeded was showing 2 seeders ( just 1 in reality) and the new one showing 1 seeder ! Logical you'll tell to me ? Not really, because the seed number is based on the scrape or the last IP ONLY, thats why the seed number is incremented everytime the IP is changed AND/OR the scrape is changed !

To conclude, the seed/leech number must be calculate on the IP and an other parameter which dont make the difference between the same seeder / leecher after an IP change or a torrent client restart !

I dont really know how to do that, but I know why !

Makes sense. Nice find!

Ah I see, I'll see if I can include a bugfix for this in the next version.
