Multiple Instances of Same User in Completed List
I was just wondering how and why this happens, when people appear multiple times in the "Last Few Who Completed" or the related Full List. For example:
Last Few Who Completed fridley, dougprit, Charles Lucking, jonovox, Tolli, oldcoyote, Cantrip, oldcoyote, oldcoyote, oldcoyote, John Dough ... Seems pretty much ubiquitous on old torrents...just curious. No members have liked this post.

Re: Multiple Instances of Same User in Completed List
has something to do with "ghosts"...i personally have no idea what that means, or why it occurs, but it doesn't affect anything and after a little while, you'll notice them disappear and the user will only appear once in the list...

Re: Multiple Instances of Same User in Completed List
I'm not totally sure of why it happens, but some people's clients will just keep yacking away to the tracker telling the tracker that they have completed the torrent. I used to notice this a lot in the logs on the old server for people using the regular bittorrent client. I don't know if it's still happening, but I know it isn't showing up in the logs anymore.
(Just checked the error logs and noticed a couple of IPs pounding the hell out of the site - like wtf?)

Re: Multiple Instances of Same User in Completed List
Seen this a couple times on my torrents as well. Was wondering about it myself. Thanks for the (non)explanation.

Re: Multiple Instances of Same User in Completed List
I think it's because it just logs completes to the db as it sees them come in. Simple as that. I've seen a guy log about 30 completes in one night on a new torrent because his client just kept banging away at the tracker about how it was all done and shit... over and over and over.
it can also happen if someone closes their client and re-opens (so it checks the torrent and registers as a leech, then immediately logs a complete, etc) No members have liked this post.
