Since I updated to BC 1.09 my downloaded files history is always wiped clean every time I start BC.

I did a sys. restore but it continued to happen so I upgraded again.

It makes seeding a bit of a chore now as I need to keep my original torrent files and re-download (hash check) in order to upload.

Any ideas why this is suddenly happening?

Thanks in advance if anyone has an explanation/solution.

Haha, well, I wondered where it was going but I wasn't expecting that.

Nice one

Haha, funny

YAAAARRRR!!! Here be the grog. Drink up me hearties

Haha, nice. I'd heard the last one before but the others were new to me.

Voted :)

My brother has 0.99 and has been having similar problems to those you described.

He got it a while back but has only recently began using it.

We thought it was just Vista playing up again but maybe it is that version that is the problem.

I've told him to update to 1.00, maybe now he will actually do it, lol

Haha, seconded ;)

I'll never get there with my speed *sigh*

I think it must be on their end, problem is not with you, just need to wait it out.

It seems to happen to everyone at the same time.

I think the problem is on their end because it seemed to happen to all of us at the same time.

It's nothing sinister. You're just uploading the same thing that you're downloading. As soon as you have some of the file you begin to help others attain it by sharing it with them just as they are uploading to you so that you may download it.

Hope that puts your mind at ease :)

On my firewall settings I have 3 options: block, allow or custom and I have BC to allow.

As for my connection speed, it says 36.0Mbps and I have no idea if that's good or bad, I don't really know tech stuff, I just use the connection and up until now I didn't have a problem with it but BC seems to be a lot slower than other people say and my internet explorer goes a lot slower while it's running.

Most of the time it works fine so I don't think it's firewall related but sometimes it goes like that and is usually out for the whole day at least.

Just booted up today and it's working normally again.

Really?

My fastest ever download speed was 74kb and it is rare

My ISP must really be rubbish I guess

Oh, I see the above comments now.

It isn't just me, but how can it be fixed?

Once again BitComet says that I am not logged in because my server connection has failed and I can't get logged in no matter how many times I enter the details.

This keeps happening to me, is it just me or does everyone get this?

If I'm not logged in, all my uploading is meaningless to my score and rank, correct?

How can I stop this from happening?

Anyone who knows please help me out.

Thanks

Good post, especially the applied knowledge part. Too many people research all this stuff but fail to actually do it.

Also remember to always train your muscles through their complete range of motion to really stretch them out and avoid that short bulky bulldog look.
