Bug Description
Download and upload ratio reported to the tracker is wrong, the ratio reported in qBittorrent is correct. Communication with the tracker seems faulty.
For example: I downloaded ~1.36 GB as reported in qBittorrent, tracker reports ~1.33 GB downloaded. Same problem with the upload, if i upload for example ~100mb as reported in qBittorrent, the tracker reports ~85mb.
Using qBittorrent 2.6.4 (compiled package from MDIB on sourceforge), on Win XP SP3.
Edit1: Just wanted to add that i am not the only one with the problem, people have reported this on the forum as well.
Or maybe one includes the protocol overhead and the other doesn't, I need to check.
In any case, qBittorrent does NOT interact with the trackers since it is only a GUI for libtorrent- rasterbar (which is used by many other clients).
Now, in the UI, it would make sense to display the payload data only and not the protocol overhead. If it is not the case, then it is a bug and I'll fix it. But that would just be a display problem (nothing to do with the tracker).
