How exactly did that happen?

I blew threw nearly all of my traffic in 4 days on a file that's not really that much in demand, tho it is a big one. I already know I need to up my traffic amount, I started at Seedhost's lowest level just to dip my toe in the water, but even if I had 3 or 4 TB it wouldn't last a week at this rate.

How does 1 leecher, even downloading a 16 gig file, pull more traffic than the other 6 gigs that had multiple seeders and leechers? Math isn't my strong suit, but something isn't adding up here. I haven't figured out how to read the info that ruTorrent is giving me, so the answer may be right under my nose.

Any help here is greatly appreciated!

You can also check on the tracker's website, if the uploaded GBs were credited to you or not. Almost all private trackers keep the info on every torrent you snatch including torrent-wise leech/seed amount etc.
