What means Ratio and U/D? Is there any difference? #136

Closed Dukobpa3 closed 9 months ago

Dukobpa3 commented 9 months ago

I thought it is same numbers but noticed that some torrents shows different values in this two fields. (In my case this 4 from list of about couple hundreds)

Can someone explain what the difference?

U/D field is calculated by TrguiNG as a simple fraction of upload/download. Ratio field is sent from transmission server, it calculates it differently, see https://github.com/openscopeproject/TrguiNG/discussions/83 and links within.

Here is two cases when ratio shows much more right info than U/D

Something what uploading during downloading^ so server says percentage based on full size, U/D – just comparing amount of bytes.

I'm not sure what better in this case. Maybe more related to private trackers strategy, but I thunk even there it will be different numbers.

This one shows infinity, like nothing downloaded. But this one was redownloaded from old torrent file to the same folder and file. This concrete case is the same as server-side ratio because there is not anything uploaded for now. But even if I start uploading – there will be infinity.

I think this both fields can be used for different cases.

Exactly, that's why there are 2 fields.
