How To Improve and Maintain a Good Ratio

If you want to maintain a good ratio on bollywoodtorrents then you need to make sure that you are using a verified working client.... read on to find out common solutions to why your stats are not updated and how to stay afloat when the 0.5 ratio rise kicks in ;)

Why does it say I've uploaded/downloaded zero bytes? / Why are my transfer stats wrong?

This is a problem with some clients that don't report the stop event to the tracker
(xfer stats are updated by the tracker when a torrent is closed).

Verified working clients:

- ABC (Another BitTorrent Client)
- Azureus
- BitTorrent (the original)
- Burst RC1-RC5d (Works if you finish your DL by pushing "Q" in the CMD window)
- PTC (Personal Torrent Collector)
- The Experimental Client (by Eike Frost)
- The SHAD0W's Experimental BitTorrent Client

Verified faulty clients:

- BitTorrent++
- Nova Torrent
- TorrentStorm

Best practices
- If a torrent you're currently leeching/seeding isn't listed on your profile, just wait or force a manual update.

Why is a torrent I'm leeching/seeding listed several times in my profile?
If for some reason your client exits improperly and you restart it, it will have a new peer_id, so it will show as a new torrent. The old one will never receive a "event=completed" or "event=stopped" and will be listed until some timeout. Just ignore it, it will eventually go away.

Multiple IPs (Can I login from different computers?)
Yes, we dont identify accounts by IP anymore, we use a "Passkey" system.. whenever you download a torrent from our website we will know its your account by the passkey which is written in the .torrent file which you downloaded.
