Is there a tool that tells you How Many Partial Seeders a given torrent has ??

That would be nice for those who'd like to seed a torrent from time to time in a legal way. Any one knows of such a mod/tool

[shoulder]

I don't think there a specific tool for this.
But if you're connected to ALL peers of a torrent you can simply find out having a look at the peerlist and searching for users whom percentage of done doesn't change for some time.

There's no program, but as shoulder said you can look at the peerlist and see who's always stuck at a certain % with a 0.00kB/s download speed.

Suppose a torrent has 10 files and you dl 1 file . After dl'ing that one file, you select all the files in ut , right-click and click "skip". Then if you do a force-recheck it will show the torrent(in ut) as 100% completed right?!

What i would like to know is , if i start seeding that torrent , will i be shown as a seeder 100% completed or 10% completed (on the peerlist)

you'll show up with 10%

VwTE1r is right. uTorrent shows 100% because you'll have 100% of the files you chose to download. But the definition of a seeder is someone that has the full torrent - and you can't be shown as one having 1/10th of it.

This can be tricky... From my experience...

For example if you download 47% of a torrent with uTorrent. On the tracker without visible peerlist.

And now you want to fake upload on that torrent on RM.
You can't set it up to 100% in RM because you will show up as a seeder then (what you aren't with your 47% of a torrent).

Problem (can arise) if you are bad at math. And can't calculate which percent you downloaded because uTorrent will show you 100% completed when it completes a torrent (doesn't matter is it whole or not). So how do you get to 47%?

You must calculate which percentage of your downloaded is whole torrent.

Our example:

1. lets say whole torrent is 1415 MB
2. you downloaded with utorrent 665,05 MB
3. which % of downloaded amount you need to put in RM so you can be shown as a regular partial seeder?

Solution:

665,05 = x/100 * 1415

x = (665,05/1415) * 100

x = 47%

So you will put 47% finished in RM with 0 kb/sec at download speed.

Hope that helps someone.

If I missed something obivious or there is much simpler way then this just comment...

This is why I like how Vuze shows the real % done when partial seeding.

If the RM had a feature to enter the &left= value yourself you could do this on a byte-exact fashion.

Ye, now your accuracy depends on how precise information about downloaded amount and total amount you can manually read from utorrent... and that's (I think) 2 decimals (in megabytes) ie. 145,12mb which is fairly accurate but not in a byte as you noticed...

[shoulder]

The question is do you need it bytewise?
I think you only do if you switch from a real torrent to RM on an undone torrent on a site with scripts like ScT had, and then you would even have to sniff the last announce to get the correct left value.
I think this is a bit too much work just for the fun of it.

To make it look 100% like you're not cheating

I mean, you stop the torrent with 1234567 bytes left, but start it with 1234500... after ScT's gone there's probably no tracker that can detect this, but it's always nice to be in the safe side.
