The situation goes like this (noticed twice):
There are two seeders in total, i have access to them. (One qbittorrent, and one i2p snark)
There appears a downloader using I2PSnark.
After some time, i sum the amount of bytes uploaded on the two seeds, and get value A.
Then i calculate the amount downloaded by the downloader, based on the percentage shown (formula: Torrent_Total_Size * Percentage / 100), and get value B.
On two separate times, i noticed that value A is much bigger than the value B (almost twice as much, i think).
What could this be? Could i2p snark be requesting the same pieces from two seeds simultaneously, and then throwing away one of them?
Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
Re: Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
Another way of looking at it.
Assuming your clients are using the same router, which I don't know.
The downloader asks for piece 42 from the torrent.
Your router receives the request and forwards it to client #1 and client #2.
The router is not a switch. No. 1 and No. 2 do not coordinate with each other and both send piece 42.
But I'm just guessing here.

I2P preserves your right to informal self-determination.
Re: Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
1. the seeds are on different routers
2. the i2p does not work like that, otherwise that'd be a big flaw (since different destinations are supposed to be isolated)

Re: Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
I think i'm noticing this again.
There is an i2psnark downloader.
I have 2 uploaders, i2psnark and qbittorrent. There are no other uploaders.
The downloader reports 1.9% progress (as seen on my i2psnark uploader).
My i2psnark uploader says it's uploaded (translated into %) 1.1%.
But when I add qbittorrent's upload to that, it becomes about 5%.
So, more than one half of the traffic gone somewhere.

Re: Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
I have noticed a pattern:
if the snark downloads slowly (i.e. <20 KB/s), it is more or less fine.
if the snark downloads fast (i.e. 100 KB/s and more), it actually downloads ~4-5x the reported download progress.
Have you also noticed these kind of things?

You only download a piece once. You can upload a piece once, never, or many many times.

Re: Percentage downloaded is less than sum of uploads
That pattern does ring a bell.
About a month ago I was the only seeder(qbittorrent) and there was one leach(i2psnark). File was quite big so over few days I observed that the reported upload(by my client) was "consistently" 2X the reported progress by the leach. The upload was 50KiB/sec, I concluded that that kind of resources waste was unacceptable and limited the upload on that torrent to ~10KiB/sec. After that the reported upload and reported progress look like they matched more closely(I would assume 1:1). Since then I was not in similar position(only seeder with a large file). I have also limited all the upload to <30KiB so I don't think I will be able to observe it again.
Back then I did not care about it(since I considered low upload limit a fix) and same can be said now.
That being said I am interested in what is causing it.
Good luck!
