In the "upstats" command "BigFile.zip" is NOT there. In the "uploaders" command two people are downloading "BigFile.zip". The "uploaded" bytes are still increasing -- they are still getting this file! I moved the file 8 hours ago, and "reshared" many times. How is this possible?
Standard *NIX-behaviour. You don't really delete a file, you unlink
file-descriptors (this is why it's called unlink() instead of delete()).
The two people downloading this file started the download *before* you
moved the file away. Nobody will be able to start *new* connections.
Imagine you are copying a file from a server to your host (eg on a LAN),
now the server-admin decides to delete this file. You'll still be able
to get this file complete. Same here (LAN = donkey-Network **gg**)
