hello,

i'd like to know why with tixati i'm more than often downloading way more data than needed.

2 examples, yesterday i download 2 torrents:
1st one 167M, downloaded 174M (this one had load of seeds when i join)
2nd one 451M, downloaded 489M (this one had one seeder from whom i never received a single piece and 10 other leechers)

that is probably just protocol traffic.

30M of protocol?? lol

nope not at all

protocol as seen by what is written in property/detail tab for each torrent

1.: 902K
2.: 2.31M

so that still a load of data downloaded for unknown reasons

did you notice any peers ignored for bad data? maybe it downloaded some pieces more than once to fix them.

are you downloading the whole torrent or only some of it? if you have partial pieces it will be downloading some pieces you don't want due to pieces overlapping files.

from what i saw, no peers banned for sending bad data and both torrents were fulling downloaded
