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

[le coq géant]

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

GET /scrape?info_hash=3%82%0d%b6%dd%5eY%28%d2%3b%c8%11%bb%ac%2fJ%e9L%b8%82 HTTP/1.1

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?

Stuff

Damn, Tested and confirmed, I wonder how long until we get a 'sorry but...' if at all.

I must admit I'm slightly put off by the deception but at this point in time staying a member, still very reliable torrents IMO.

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 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.

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.

How is that possible with only some months life? They will be the next TL?

[twistedangle8]

Word of mouth, i suppose. The site's not too bad. And another TL wont hurt the torrent community.

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

Getting banned for scamming will have to wait until they allow trading on their forums, right?
