@blittle I didn't download that many files. I changed my email address and enabled two-factor authentication. Still, I could only download and run two torrents per day.
I went to pause in the past 5 days and today I found out that the system still told me thatI had reached the maximum because I already downloaded 123 torrent files in 24 hours, even though I was supposed to be able to download 116 torrents per day.
Isn't that funny? For some mysterious reason, when I was told that I was limited to downloading only 116 torrent files, the system still said that I had already downloaded 123 torrent files. Yet, none of them was on any records like completing download or even started downloading those files in my back-end torrent information.
This is almost always caused by a download manager or other prefetch based add-on that actively looks at content that the current page links to in order to speed up your browsing. Although the files do not actually get downloaded, the prefetch of the content where links are involved generates a false positive for files, even when they have not been downloaded.
So you may want to check your browser extensions and add-ons to see if there are any that may be responsible for pulling page content ahead of it being clicked on by you as the user. If all else fails, try using a different browser for a few days to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then you can narrow it down to something about that browser specifically.
