I have noticed that some leechers' percent availability is not updating.
(Have only noticed if their are only <4 leechers on a torrent at a time.)

For instance there is one leecher downloading a file of 700MB. When started he/she had 4.33% of the file. Now, after having downloading 45MB from me the % availability still shows 4.33%.
Their torrent client being used is 'libtorrent 0.D.0.0'. The other times I have noticed this behaviour the clients have been versions of bitcomet.

I'm using ktorrent 2.2.4, KDE 3.5.5.

Well, there are some clients misbehaving and not updating the have pieces after they have downloaded a chunk, a client that i know which does this is bitrocket.(to be more efficient in the bandwidth...) It might be that some other clients do this too?

I was wondering if that was the case. I have heard reports of bitcomet being a 'nasty piece of work' and being banned from from some torrent sites, but when I noticed another client with the same behaviour I was just wondering.

Thanks for the reply
