GT server clock

blackdid

Hi family
I would like to know if GT server clock is keeping time correctly.

Attached pic 1 shows it's 23h32 in Germany
Attached pic 2 shows it's 23h33 in Germany

In pic 2, we notice that the 1st leecher in the list (bear…) checked at 23h20, when this same leecher checked at 22h50 in the 1st pic : this means his last checking was done between 23h32 and 23h33 german time.

Question : why his last checking time in pic 2 doesn't indicate 23h33 (german time) instead of 23h20 ?
I always notice this delay of 13 min between any time showed in GT "ckecked" colum, compared to the real time.

For instance, we notice the seeder in both pics checked at 23h10
But you'll have to wait until 23h53 (german time) to see the change : his check column will then display 23h40 :cry2:

Btw this torrent looks amazing…its size is nearly 42GB
Gladly the uploader noted in description : "Seeded with a 100mbit connection"
You ask: how much is it in KB/s ?
I was so lazy to calculate that I quickly googled ;D

8 bits = 1 Byte
100 bits = 12.5 Bytes
100 kbits = 12500 Bytes = 12.5 KB
100 mbits/s = 12.5 MB/s !
I'd like to have a look at his average upspeed during his upload !!!

I approved that 41.95 GB Torrent after discussing breaking it up into smaller segments. This is the way he wanted it uploaded so I approved the torrent.

Hey Michael is here
Imho you did well, because there are 659 separate files in the torrent, and the different movies (about 1GB each) can be selected one by one. Also users who want to download the smaller bears models vids are able to do it etc…

3 hours now since it started to seed, and his UpSpeed shows 4MB/s, wow !!!
A few users have already download 15% of the whole thing !

I wonder if many users won't download the whole package. If yes, there will be a lot of leechers stuck endlessly at 90% (in case they unselected 10% of the files sizes), they will appear as seeders in their client and leechers in GT, which could rank this torrent high in the Top 100 lol

In the end, it should be interesting to control how many users will be shown as leechers during hours, with their "completed" column not changing anymore : those are the users who probably unselected a part of the files and will be shown as leechers to the tracker, when in fact they're not leeching anymore.

41.95GB within a single torrent, maybe it's the record until now !

I wonder if all clients allow to unselect a part of the files before downloading : gladly uTorrent allows it.
How can anyone use a client that doesn't allow this crucial functionality ?
Well I guess it's when you face such situations and your client doesn't allow it…that you start to think of other clients

It's the same way of thinking between using QTM vs Manual Upload : if you're allowed to use QTM (i.e if you got a PC running Windows and Utorrent), how is it possible NOT to use QTM ?
With QTM, no matter the different folders where you place your movie, the 1st torrent uploaded by QTM and the 2nd torrent re-downloaded by QTM : it works like a charm even if those 3 files are in 3 different folders !

Without QTM ?
Try to re-download the 2nd torrent ( manually :cry2: ) and place it in a wrong folder ( :cry2: :cry2: ) , then the problems start…and Mods daily have to explain to the complaining users where they should re-download the 2nd torrent and what they need to do now that they re-downloaded it in a wrong folder.

And there will always be newbies who will fall into that same trap...which can be easily avoided by using this terrific program named QTM . The 1st day Tom will come back here and I see him write any topic, I will answer him in big bold characters to thank him for creating QTM

@mgr:

So if you create/refresh the page and wait for two hours the page will still show old (by now) times. It does not make sense at all to "auto-refresh" this page (unless you consider "overloading" our server as sense )

Hi Mgr,
Thx for your detailed answer.
Well be sure I refreshed the web page immediately before taking the 2 snapshots, or they would have reflected older times of course.
Thx for explaining the "1000 - 1024" I remember them too, but I just didn't want to detail it (as you did so well)

Now concerning this big torrent (41.95GB) : a few leechers have already downloaded 97% in 18h, great !
And the uploader UpSpeed shows now 7.88MB/s , that's fast.

PS: sorry I don't add any smiley in the post, also I guess there will be no more posts starting with "Hi family", it would make us all sad because it was Tim's intro.

Please do not stop the "Hi Family" greeting s. For me a reminder is a good thing for us all. That line alone says so much about Tim's character and his feelings for the membership here t GT.ru. I intend to use it as often as I can .

For me this is his legacy at GT.ru!!!!

I agree with that statement. It is a tradition within my biological background to keep the memory of a lost loved one alive. It may sound strange, but it's just the way that we do it.
