Thanks for your input David. As I wrote last error report in the thread is 25 May. This has been fixed.
There is not a single error report after that. We cannot fix something that hasn't been reported.

I have tried to explain this several times, and I really don't know how to explain this. I will make
another try. Lets assume we have 5 feeders in London. L1 L2 L3 L4 L5.
All 5 feeders sees BAW123 and uploads the aircraft to the server
L1 uploads at 12:34:50 and database is updated with L1 data + L1 radar code.
L2 uploads at 12:34:51 and database is updated with L2 data + L2 radar code.
L3 uploads at 12:34:52 and database is updated with L3 data + L3 radar code.
L4 uploads at 12:34:53 and database is updated with L4 data + L4 radar code.
L5 uploads at 12:34:54 and database is updated with L5 data + L5 radar code.
The data feed for FR24 www is generated at 12:34:54
As L5 was the last one to send data before the feed was generated he will appear as "Radar" if you click on BAW123.
The DOES NOT mean L1, L2, L3, L4 are broken, not feeding or have a software error. An aircraft can only be assigned
to one feeder - the latest one. If your filter on L3, BAW123 will no be shown, as BAW123 is assigned to L5 right now.
But once again, it doesn't mean it's something wrong with L3. This time the aircraft was last uploaded by L5, next
time it might be L1, or L3 or maybe L5 again.
Since the the release of premium version yesterday you can check upload status on http://www.flightradar24.com/premium/
if you signup for an account. This view will be improved a lot during the next weeks.
If it says ONLINE it's working (uploading data), very simple!
Please note that "last upload" is updated every minute, not after every upload!
If you run FR24 software, but don't upload data, it will say OFFLINE
This is how database looks like

All aircraft appears once in the live data database, with latest feeder, position, height, speed, squawk and so on.
If we would like to show all feeders that sees an aircraft the database would expand from todays about 3000 rows (aircraft) to maybe 20.000 rows (same aircraft can be visible by 2-15 feeders). We would need several new servers to handle the increased data amount, data transfer rates would go up even more, and would need to show a list of up to 15 radars ever time you click on an aircraft. That is not realistic.
