Stats Explained

We save a snapshot on every poll. Here's what each stat means.

Upload and Download

Uploaded

Total data you've contributed since signup. It only goes up. Upload is the main currency on private trackers — it drives ratio and buffer.

Downloaded

Total data you've received since signup. Like upload, it's a lifetime counter. Some trackers run rare "download forgiveness" events that reduce it.

A large download isn't a problem — your ratio relative to it is what matters.

Ratio

Ratio

Upload divided by download. Upload 400 GiB and download 200 GiB, you get 2.00.

Most trackers enforce a minimum. Fall below it and you lose download access or get warned.

A ratio of ∞ means you uploaded but never downloaded — i.e., you seeded your own uploads.

Required Ratio

The minimum ratio you must maintain. A requirement of 0.60 means you must upload at least 60% of your download.

Some trackers give new members grace — no requirement for the first few GiB.

Availability: Not on UNIT3D. Available on Gazelle and GGn.

Buffer

How far below the required minimum you could fall. A bigger buffer means you can grab more without hitting your ratio floor.

Calculation varies:

  • UNIT3D — Server-side calculation. Most accurate.
  • Gazelle and GGn — Upload minus download (net surplus). Doesn't account for your required ratio.

A negative buffer means you're already in deficit.

Seeding and Leeching

Seeding Count

How many torrents you're currently uploading. Seeding builds upload credit. Some trackers require minimum seeding — i.e., seed each download for a set period.

Availability: On UNIT3D. On some Gazelle forks. On GGn, it depends on your paranoia setting — high paranoia hides it from the API.

Leeching Count

How many torrents you're currently downloading. Usually zero when you're not grabbing.

Availability: Same as seeding.

Seedbonus / Gold

A site currency earned by seeding. Earn rate depends on seed time, torrent size, and how many other seeders are active. Spend it on freeleech tokens, upload credit, or store items.

Platform notes:

  • UNIT3D — Called "seedbonus" or "Bonus Points".
  • Gazelle — Called "Bonus Points" or "BP".
  • GGn — Uses a separate gold currency, spent in GGn's economy (achievements, buffs, store).

Hit & Runs

A hit-and-run is downloading and bailing before seeding to 1:1 or meeting minimum seed time. Trackers penalize members who consume without contributing.

Too many H&Rs lead to warnings or download loss.

Availability:

  • UNIT3D — Available. Shows 0 when you have none.
  • Gazelle — Not available.
  • GGn — Available, but may be null if the tracker doesn't expose it.

Account Status

Warned

Whether you're under a staff warning. Warnings come from H&Rs, ratio drops, or conduct. Warned accounts may lose download.

Availability:

  • UNIT3D — Not exposed via API.
  • Gazelle — Available on sites that support the extended user profile call. Otherwise defaults to no warning.
  • GGn — Available from your profile.

Username

Your tracker username. Visibility depends on the "Store Tracker Usernames" setting. See Settings Reference.

Class / Rank

Your member class — "Member", "Power User", "Elite", "VIP", "Donor", etc. Promotion is based on ratio, upload, seedbonus, age, and contributions.

We record what the tracker returns. No cross-tracker comparison.

Freeleech Tokens

Apply these to torrents so downloads don't count against ratio. Grab content without penalty.

Availability:

  • UNIT3D — Not available.
  • Gazelle — Available on some forks. Not all expose it.
  • GGn — Not available. Uses gold economy instead.

Share Score

A GGn-specific score combining upload activity, seeding time, and other factors.
