Entsints Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 So, i found that there are meny torrents, that have leeches that are on 0.0% that i can seed to while having 0.0% of a file, and its too long seeding to be metadata, So what is it that i am sending to them? is it an exploit? (or is it not really sending anything?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Some clients are configured to not report their completion levels to seeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entsints Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 But at the time i had only gotten the file metadata, so why dose he keep getting 5-50 kb of info per sec while i dont have the torrent yet? (its not like metadata is over 50Mb ? and thats how much i seeded to him/her before stopping it, meanwhile i had 0.0% of the torrent on my memory/hard drive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you haven't gotten the metadata yet, then the other client is misbehaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entsints Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 misbehaving as in glitch or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 most likely. If you don't have pieces, but do have the metadata, you will be a potential vector for users to get that metadata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
