How to cheat on ratio-based torrent sites

February 6, 2006 – 5:26 pm

So yea, i got tired of those stupid websites where you got to maintain a 0.5-1.0 ratio or your account gets kicked. Not that i am a leecher but it’s pretty dumb to have that kind of policies when we’re talking about free peer-to-peer file sharing and, when you sign up on website like this, you always start by downloading (and not seeding) which puts you on a disadvantage. Also, on these websites, you can never upload torrents until you’re a ‘power user’ (which means: 1.0 ratio or above), so… all in all, even though ratio can be a good way to keep out those who only like to download, leechers, it can also be a pain in the ass for those who want to share but they can’t because the torrent has 500 seeders and 10 peers.

So, this settled, i figured a way to download the stuff without adding the ‘downloaded traffic’ to my ratio. :)
Basically, i download the torrent, let my client (Azureus) connect to like 40-50 (depending on the amount of existing seeders, obviously) and a few peers and then edit the torrent tracker URL to something like ‘http://no.track.er’ and voilá! i got my file and my ratio untouched. ;)

Then… of course, too boost a little bit your ratio you’d want to seed the torrent, right? So, you delete the torrent from your client (in Azureus: Remove -> Delete Torrent File); redownload the torrent and open it with azureus for seeding. (in Azureus: Open -> Torrent file… (for seeding)) and that’s it.

Everyone is happy. Well… not everyone but, who cares.

  2. i dont understand how to do it. Could you please write again more specifaied how to do it in azureus 2.4?

  3. Everybody likes cheaters…. NOT! By legit leaching you don’t hurt the community couse nothing is wasted. But with cheating you’re bleading community to death. If you like downloading but don’t want to upload. Just leach. Don’t be a cheater. Some sites you can buy your upload credit for a dime and a nickel. (means cheap)

  4. i like to upload, as a matter of fact, i got a ratio of 8 at bitsoup. and didn’t need to use this method.

    what i don’t like on some websites is, the fact that, everytime you try to download something, in a matter of minutes, the same torrent has like 100 seeds and 10 peers. it sucks and makes it impossible to reach a good ratio (above 1.5).

    and no, i’m not wasting my money paying for ‘upload credit’ (wtf?). i pitty those who actually pay for stuff that is supposed to be free.

    thanks for your comments btw.

  5. exactly most of these tracker admins operate their trackers like a business and they are making a fortune by imposing an unfair ratio then charging money to repair a users bad ratio when they cant keep it at 1:1.
    thats why i made my cheat client, for the most part it acts just like a normal torrent client in every way but it adds a hefty amount to all your uploads so you never need to worry about your ratio or pay money to some jumped up little prick to get a gb or 2 added to your account.

  6. haha this works great..damn you filelist

    By jim on Mar 17, 2006

  7. or u could just downgrade azureus to 2.1 like me! :)

  8. I think the idea of share ratio was invented by some 5 year old, it’s stupid… I’d rather cheat at this hard-to-get pirimid scheme
    …and I don’t give a sh**, it’s messed up!

    By Chris on Apr 22, 2006

  9. So by changing the tracker url is it guaranteed that your downloading wont count towards your share ratio?

    By someone on Apr 28, 2006

  10. yes.

    By vanguard on Apr 29, 2006

  11. Most of the decent sites have security measures against this stuff, and will ban you, so make sure you do your research first!

    By Al on May 9, 2006

  12. how do you modify the tracker for a torrent in azureus ?

    By number5 on May 9, 2006

  13. Thanks, I’m going to try this out on one of those infamous 100:1 S:L sites.

    By Oliver Klosehoff on May 10, 2006

  14. Yeap true.. some of the sites really have pointless ratio caps.. so much so that it messed up with my actual upload ratio…

    Great idea.. thanks..

    By bollox on May 10, 2006

  15. is there any chance the site admins can catch me cheating using your method?

    By gorylafl on May 11, 2006

  16. well, it’s hard to track down the ‘users’ that use this. basically, your IP never ‘touches’ the tracker while you are downloading. DHT does all the work so, unless you get listed at first as a downloader and the torrent actually gets on your ‘download list’ (some sites do this) i don’t see any problem.

    By vanguard on May 11, 2006

  17. Hi there, can anyone send me an invite to some good torrent site? please..
    thank you very much
    this is my email

    By sarg on May 15, 2006

  18. So let’s say i am downloading from 2-3 seeders but what i downloaded isn’t counted in my ratio. Do the seeder’s ratio get boosted ?

    By lol on May 25, 2006

  19. Easy as hell to up your share ratio with any azureus client.
    Close Azureus.
    Go into C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Azureus. Make a copy of azureus.statistics (for backup), then change the original to azureus.statistics.txt, open it up and scroll along in notepad until you see “uploadedi10011087940e6″ or something like that.
    Change the first digit to something higher. Rename it back to what it was, start Azureus, then check to see what your ratio has changed to. Have a fiddle around wih that method.
    But to be honest, I’ve had better download speeds with lower ratios in some cases.

    I don’t give a flying f**k about share ratios, it’s a badly thought idea *bypasses*.

    By Chris on May 25, 2006

  20. hey chris is it possible to get banned by trackers for doing what you did??? cause ive been hearing about this azureus stats file and that when users change it to fake their ratio can tend to get banned on some trackers.

    By Amr on Jun 9, 2006

  21. Haha that’s pretty cool. GG Chris

    By Joe on Jun 9, 2006

  22. Uploading sucks if you got some stupid limits like in Belgium (1 GB upload, believe me it’s nothing).
    They just got to remove those, we already pay enough for our cable.

    By Jizzla on Jun 11, 2006

  23. Its not relly possible for a tracker to know if you have modified your stats file in azureus. The program holds the info, its like modifying a cookie from ur browser. Nobody will know but you

    By ShadowNuke on Jun 14, 2006

  24. @ShadowNuke

    Actually, for the torrent sites that require accounts, they could keep track of your transfer stats server side, and notice the discrepancy when you changed YOUR stats file.

    By SomeGuy on Jun 14, 2006

  25. yes i am use RatioBoost client too its work very well
    i have lose account on some tracker with other method before now but i do not lose any more :-)

    By Itak on Jul 1, 2006

  27. Oh. My. God.
    You are all such ignorant pricks.
    The idea of maintaining a ratio is what makes file *sharing* work, you frickin leechers. I happen to run one of those sites you propose to cheat from.
    To claim its a “money making” based system, like RatioBoster says, is pure drivel. While true that Some sites [*cough*TorrentLeech*cough*] do use it for that purpose (I know, used to work there and quit for that reason), the actual point of the 1:1 ratio is to ensure that Everyone gets the files they want. (And most sites do not even require that you maintain a 1:1, but a minimum of about half at least. Is that so much to ask?)
    Another point being that I bet you have all moved to BT sites from things like Kazza/Shareazza/Limewire/etc because you love the Speeds that you get the files. Where do you think that comes from? It comes from other ppl seeding that file to you, ppl that Don’t cheat. Pll willing to Participate in a Community.
    Yes the files are “free” in the monetary sense, but what makes File Sharing WORK is that we are collectivly sharing them with each other.
    Not to mention that the ppl sharing with all of you Pay for thier bandwidth (internet connection, n00bs), so again, the files are not really “free”, someone is PAYING to get them to YOU, and they deserve your consideration to return the favor and pass it on down the line to the next person. Are we all not fighting the same fight? Freedom of information? Taking the “Industry” out of the “Movie/Music Industry”? Requiring them to put out Quality that we Want to pay for, instead of shite that we Have to pay for?
    Honor among theives, right? Guess not. Go back to using Kazza, you parasites.

    PS, allmost Any site run by Anyone that knows Anything have code in place to detect and ban ppl like you, regardless of your methods, so good luck. Ha!

    By AnAdmin on Jul 2, 2006

  28. Well said AnAdmin.
    If you don’t want to share than don’t join fileSHARING sites the only good thing about ratio cheaters is the pleasure I take in banning them.

    By dino on Jul 4, 2006

  29. Newest RatioMaster 1.5 working fine on all trackers i’m member in, that why you guys so pissed off, haha.
    The only parasites here is tracker owners who demand to maintaint 1:1 ratio. Clueless idiots,you dont realize that even not possible for all users, as for every user above 1 ratio there 1 user below 1 ratio. People who trying to improve their ratio by seedeng 24/7 waste their resources .Most of the time you seed for nothing as nobody downloads from you,when there so many seeders and so few leechers.Some people using tools like RatioMaster because they have no other choice,others as a way to fight those ridiculous private tracker rules and others (like me) just because we can and because it makes me smile to see you fags (tracker admins) post your transparent rethoric bullshit . Cry me a river bitches.

    By Itak on Jul 6, 2006

  30. Quote: “1:1 ratio. Clueless idiots,you dont realize that even not possible for all users, as for every user above 1 ratio there 1 user below 1 ratio.”

    Why is it not possible, what is this 1 over, 1 under theory? Ratio is a simple maths term, not some impossible formula, there is no reason at all why 50% of users must be under 1:1.I have a very poor upstream but still manage to stay between 0.8 and 1.3.

    I can see Vanguard’s point of view, but as stated above, filesharing can’t happen without SHARING. From those that take the trouble to rip and create the torrents, and those like me who keep the torrent seeding when finished.

    By Brace on Jul 8, 2006

  31. This whole 2:1 minimum thing is like communism: either you give as much as you take, or it’s the gulag or you (getting banned). For me, I download 4-7 times faster than I upload, so for me to get a 1:1 ratio, I have to leave the client open for hours on end, and If I transfer a big file (a linux distro, for example), I have to leave it on for days. Clearly not practical.

    I agree, it is nice to help the whole seeding thing, but nobody should get banned because they didn’t meet their quota.

    And no, it’s not work to leave a client on in the background :/ .

    By ionman on Jul 11, 2006

  32. Brace, reason for this is that TOTAL SUM of ratios in closed system MUST be equal to NUMBER of peers .It can be more than number of peers
    only if someone cheat,and it never can be less then that.
    Now theoretically it’s possible to have 99% of users with ratio 1.000001 and single user with ratio less than 0.000001, but this shit doesnt fly in real life,in other words it is extremely unlikely.So IN AVERAGE for every user that have ratio more than 1, you will have at least 1 user who have ratio less than 1. In real life you will see about 1% of peers with obscene ratios of 100 and more (uploaders), and 99% of people who can barely make 1:1 by seeding 24/7.
    Nobody stop you from sharing and using cheating tools in the same time.
    When you share,you share with other peers, and when you cheat ,you only change your stats on tracker. If you can’t share without big brother watching you,it’s your problem.

    By Itak on Jul 11, 2006

  33. hmm.. I knew they’d have comebacks, which I honestly can’t be arsed to read through.

    I find that the whole ratio thing doesn’t work well, it’s ’suppost’ to be good for your download speeds when you upload more, but if your uploading more, then your downloading less.
    I find even with my ratio set at 3 or 4, download speeds are the same, or sometimes even lower, and that is because of the torrent, not the ratio.
    So it kinda doesn’t work, I remember having 55Kb/s with a ratio of 0…

    And, I know it’s mean to say, but, it’s MY internet connection, if they share it’s THEIR choice ^^, but I choose to keep my u/l speed less than 23k, and have my d/l speed about 60k.

  34. Quote=Brace “Why is it not possible, what is this 1 over, 1 under theory? Ratio is a simple maths term, not some impossible formula, there is no reason at all why 50% of users must be under 1:1″

    LOL!

    I have a question for you: Imagine every user has a share ratio of 2:1, that is they upload twice as much as they download, _every_single_user_.

    …who are they all uploading to?

    It’s possibly a difficult thing to visualize so consider you and I each have $100. As a rule, for every dollar I give you, you must give me two dollars in return. And, for every dollar you give me, I must give you two dollars in return. At the end of the day, if one of us has more than $100, the other will have less.

    Apply this principle to a larger scale and it still holds true, for any users to have a ratio greater than 1:1, some users must have ratios less than 1:1.

    As you’ve said, this isn’t some impossible theory, it’s simple mathematics.

    By Chris on Aug 20, 2006

  37. I’m also against this whole “ratio” thing. Not only is it exceedingly difficult and annoying to achieve a ratio of 1:1 (I uploaded for several hours only to have my ratio increase by .002 points), it’s also a ridiculous idea. As somebody mentioned earlier it’s mathematically impossible for everybody to share 1:1. Why not just leave the people who don’t want to seed alone? The system obviously works even though thousands of people don’t seed the full file, otherwise torrents wouldn’t be as popular as they are now.
    The circumstances of the person downloading also should be considered. For example, i’m currently living in Switzerland. Over here there are 2 channels on TV that are in English. Living is incredibly expensive here so there’s no chance of affording PC games or Pay television. Basically put, there’s no entertainment here other than 1 or 2 shows and what I download on the internet. To have to slow my downloads by seeding files for people who probably have faster internet and 150 tv channels is absurd.

    Rant over.

    By Monkey on Aug 23, 2006

  38. Monkey, you said: Why not just leave the people who don’t want to seed alone?

    Because if we leave all of them alone, NO ONE would seed. We learned this things long ago when filesharing was only on IRC. all the FTP server softwares had ratio capability. (SERV-U was of course my favorite). At any rate, if you’re not forced to, generally, you don’t. This is why when I download on a private tracker I download at 1.1-1.2 MBps, and on public trackers, more like 100-200KBps

    By Nic on Sep 5, 2006

  39. This is sure pretty old, but I found it because I was curious as to how cheating trackers was done.

    I’m on a decent amount of private trackers with a few hundred GB’s uploaded and a 2.0+ ratio. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how to work torrents/trackers. Whenever I join a new trackers I do this:

    Sort torrents by amount of times downloaded.
    Sort by amount of leechers.
    Look at the date the torrent was added.
    Decide on two or three to download.

    In a week I’m set to start taking things I want. I always download the popular things so I keep my ratio high, and that’s the key. If everyone did that, trackers would be a much better place.

    Thankfully, I’m on great trackers with great people who are always seeding. As a matter of fact, I have about 90 torrents open as we speak :)

    By Matt on Sep 6, 2006

  40. people still seed when they cheat,
    the only thing that gets cheated is the ratio on the tracker all the peers still get their files you just get a little extra added to your uploads so you dont have to go through that give us a donation or we delete your account crap.
    trackers are all about the money these days thats all they care about,
    if you took away the ratios altogether nothing would change in the torrent world,
    people would still seed and people would leech the whole ratio system is a waste of time and was designed only to make money for the tracker admins from people who cant afford high upload speed connections.

    By Lisa on Sep 7, 2006

  41. Well,admins you haven’t thought of the possibility that i pay 45 euros per month for my f***ing 1024/128 connection,and this means that while i can download with 110kb/s i can upload only with 12-14.It is RIDICULOUS to pay to maintain a ratio,that’s why it’s called p-i-r-a-c-y,and don’t tell me that your sites don’t promote that,99% of the stuff there is copyrighted.Well said Itak at your second post.

    Ah and by the way,i upload at Demonoid and have a ratio of 2,but with sites where there are 100 seeders and only 2 leechers it’s impossible to reach even a 0.5 ratio.And don’t tell me to burn my pc downloading bulls**t torrents 3-4gb just to make my ratio

    By Varen(fake) on Sep 7, 2006

  42. u clueless morons.. as have been said by 1 or 2 ppl before.. its fileSHARING.. not fileLEECHING. its ppl like u that make public trackers total fucking shit. ratio sites aint for u? then why the fuck do have to cheat on them? lolz. i’ll tell u why mr. cheater fucks. u like the speeds. now granted most ratio sites needs u human scum.. so ppl that actually gets that its sharing can upload.. as for u “ratio sites is bs” go to the pirate bay and download at 1kb/s.. thats what happens when u leeching scum are in action.. so to recap for u retards… cant be bothered uploading? go to the pirate bay and spend 2 weeks to download a 700mb xvid. let us that actually do share have the ratio sites.. and that my clueless “friends” is what ratio sites is about. to keep ur leeching asses out. so.. go to TBP and hope u dont download a fake u retards…

    By nalle on Sep 9, 2006

  43. i don’t know what ‘pirate bay’ you’ve been downloading from but it works like a charm for me along with torrentspy.

    filesharing? damn right it’s called filesharing but i didn’t bought my internet connection to have it 24/7 uploading shit (with the sole purpose of: uploading so i can download from a ratio-based website). this cheat i’ve posted does NOT necessarily mean that you won’t seed. in fact, if you read it carefully it helps you to get your ratio UP. Leeching has nothing to do with it. So, in other words, you download the file(s) without having it added to your downloaded traffic and you manage to upload it (read: SHARING) having the traffic added to your ratio. THIS IS ALL ABOUT RATIO, it’s not about leeching you fucking idiots.

    Another point I tried to bring with this post is the fact that there’s people making money with these so called free-filesharing (yet ratio-based) websites. If it’s free why the fuck do they ask you to pay for traffic? “donate 15USD and get 150Gb of traffic”, donate? That ain’t a fucking donation, that’s a damn purchase.

    By vanguard on Sep 9, 2006

  44. Ok sure,let’s pay for piracy.Guys like you that promote illegal stuff and are quite impudent to ask for money should be get busted.I have downloaded millions of files but i get totally pissed off with the people who make money distributing illegally the work of other people.File sharing should be free but it seems that this is too complicated for you.To say nothing that the majority of members are DSL users with limited upload speeds but they know that,and they still demand to pay.Well suck my balls when apps like RatioMaster work perfect!The developer has my respect for not compromising and finding a way to bypass their stupid ratio and ban policys.They ll never prevent us for getting what we want free and let the suckers pay!I can even cheat now at Oink!!!Oh yeh,cry me a river bitches!

    By Varen on Sep 10, 2006

  45. Anadmin and his band of ratio huggers are freakin morons. As said by others, my upload limit is TEN F*CKIN TIMES SMALLER THEN MY DOWNLOAD, both in SPEED AND VOLUME.

    Do really expect me to pay 10 Euros every time I download a film? LOLz
    It is illegal software after all.

    You people nagging bout the leeching should realize that DIFFERENT COUNTRIES/PROVIDERS HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT VOLUME RATIOS (as mine is 1/10).

    If you are so lucky that e.g. your upload volume limit = download limit, or don’t even have a limit, Be cordial, stop nagging and leave your pc on a liitle after a download like you do now.

    Your lucky.

    By ME on Sep 19, 2006

  46. there is another way of doing it guys :) use a proxy when downloading the small torrent-file from that site :)) then in azureus/utorrent/etc it will not count you as downloading because it is connected to your real ip :))

    i would create a new account for this, alsways use a torrent when getting the torrent from that site, but make sure to always use different proxies when you log in there.

    i aint doing this because i dont want to share, but because in some countries (like mine), it is LEGAL to download but ILLEGAL to upload. at least, legally they cant touch you this way.

    By anti-ratio on Sep 23, 2006

  47. okay first of all theres plenty of file sharing sites that dont have ratios…..if you want to leech from those go for it and no one cares ie piratebay. i have been a member of a ratio site for quite sometimes now and have over 150 gigs uploaded and get 10 movies or so in under 24 hours and my ratio is over 2. its really not that hard to leave your connection/client on while people are leeching off you and not mathematically impossible….all you have to do is be paitent and if you seed to exsactly 1.0 of every torrent you download there isn’t a problem…i have significanylly smaller uploads speeds than i do download speeds and still manage to keep a ratio above 1. i also have not donated any money to the site as im poor….basically just wait a few hours to seed what you leech and if you dont like it…..GO TO A NON RATIO SITE WHINEY BITCHES!!!

    By Calbha on Sep 29, 2006

  48. ratios and all the bs it entails is just a way to keep the “bit torrent world” kept amongst the socially inept. it’s basically a penis measurement. anyway, i feel it’s a way to keep _illegal_ material amongst “thieves” and away from the regular joe blow that wants to snag a cd/movie/game off the internet because its free even though he has the means to obtain it legally.

    By bob on Oct 6, 2006

  49. HAHAHA!

    I keep checking back to this page because you ladies crack me up so much with your tears.

    “OMFG you have ratio less than 1!! you amst teh leecher”

    Would you like a tissue to dry your eyes, princess?

    Ratios serve multiple purpose, if you want to look at the psychology of it.

    Sure, they encourage people to share and keep the community alive. This is always a good thing. Sometimes, however, it’s not practical for people to upload and keep perfect ratios. We have (here in Australia) an excellent support system for the unemployed. My tax dollars help put food on the table for the 3 kids who’s dad was just made redundant, and thats a warm and fuzzy feeling. I’d like to think that should I ever be out of work, someone elses taxes can help me get through it. “Leechers”, as you call them are similar. Sometimes those of us who have the capacity to support a little bit more than our “fair share” (no pun intended) should. It’s those of us who do share that keep the system alive.

    Yes, ratios also provide a means for people to sell “bandwidth”, and my hat is off to those who will capitalise on this. This is simple supply and demand, and the anti-ratio kids should take the time to consider that fact before getting themselves worked up. If people will pay for something, someone will invariably take money from those people. If you’re too narrow minded to accept this, I pity you greatly.

    But, ratios are also set in the hopes that the world is mathematically inept, as I, and others, have previously stated it’s not possible for everyone to have share ratios greater than 1:1.

    Those of you bragging about share ratios greater than 1, is that so great? This is almost a disservice to the community. You’re making it mathematically impossible for someone else to achieve 1:1, and then, abusing those same people and labelling them as leechers. (…But it’s all about community, right?)

    I don’t use ratio sites myself, but to those who do: Does everyone have ratios greater than 1:1?

    If yes, how so? given the mathematics of it.

    If no, Why not? given the (apparently) perfect nature of the ratio system..

    By Chronic on Oct 8, 2006

  50. if you are so against ratio based private trackers, then why do you insist on using them?

    there are plenty of open trackers out there use them duh!

    if you cheat, you will get banned… it’s not so hard for site staff to see who is cheating, and eventually you will get busted.

    it is called file sharing… so share

    By mr_love on Oct 12, 2006

  51. Firstly, I wanted to say one thing, I agree it is theoretically impossible for all users to maintain a higher ratio beyond 1.0 and maintaining a lower download ratio.

    Secondly, ALL of you morons dont know anything about the internet or what File sharing or anything regarding WAREZ really is.
    As an ace in the scene, I don’t download here, but the fact is, this should be a place where people can download without fear of running out of flippin credits.
    Abolish this credit system since you know nothing of the true scene.
    My brother downloads alot of stuff from here since he distributes old music and files with his friends, I’ve seen this happen so many times that his ratio constantly drops dispite the fact he’s uploading 24/7 on this garbage business internet line.
    Let’s face the facts here, THIS IS NOT THE SCENE, THERE ARE TOO MANY GARBAGE/INCOMPLETE FILES, TOO MUCH BULL OUT THERE AND DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHY THE SCENE IS THERE? THE REAL SCENE WHERE THIS GETS OUT…..I’LL TELL YOU,
    It’s in place so users can’t start SELLING, and its to protect our privacy including protection from law enforcement agencies who don’t exactly have the brain cells to figure out the truth and reasoning behind why things are done in a certain way.
    The scene specializes in QUALITY releases that if played on any Video player, system, etc, will display total quality as if unmatched by any source.
    We have rules in place governing the quality of releases, but let me tell you something.
    Even on the gigabit+ related sites or the 10mbit-10gbit+ whatever we DONT impose ratio on each other.
    You could be unknown, if you seem like a regular guy, we encourage you to download, as long as you are trustworthy.

    For the record, I don’t download here, this is total crap and a waste of time.
    If you guys really cared about the public, you’d simply stick to IRC with those FTP’s using BOUNCERS to reroute to countries where your own doesn’t have jurisdiction, and also connect with SSL3, and maybe a better cipher - AES256-SHA256-SSLv3 and maybe password your servers with TLS handshake.
    Although thats more secure than what you guys may ever see or use, it’s not secure.
    If you’re in the right place at the right time, or if you manage to get ahold of me, I may give you a tutorial on “security” and how to secure yourself on the Internet.
    That my friend’s is the truest and most “ratio” free zone.
    But beware, if you’re not smart enough to be on an advanced area like IRC, don’t bother joining on any networks, there are always threats awaiting your arrival ;-)

    ABOLISH THE RATIO SYSTEM, FREE DOWNLOAD FOR ALL IN EVERY AREA.
    Why is it that we can’t appreciate what people make? we have not yet organized a complete list of EVERYTHING on one site where people can upload files to keep it alive.
    Do it to appreciate the artists and producers and morely to fix whats wrong with this system.

  53. Hi, after the new Azureus update, it doesnt work anymore :*( It just stop downloading. Please help me :|

  54. Well, Mille, it wouldn’t. This is 2007. A lot of cheaters wouldn’t work anymore…a lot of pompous admins have figured out how to screw up the code. I can respect the fact that people shoud share and all that, but to be quite honest…the ratio thing is ridiculous. And as certain folk here said: it doesn’t affect the upload in any way, the “cheat codes” don’t rob the people of uploading…STUFF IS STILL BEING UPLOADED! It’s just the ratio. And they’re right. Why pay for something that should be free? On bittorrent, you don’t necessarily need TONS of banwidth, so what overheads do these folks need? I fit was a server, I could understand a donation, but these guys are just liitle porks with a 99.99 cable plan wanting to make money so they can jerk off with a champagne bottle instead of a beer bottle! I use everything, so it don’t matter whicever way, but to EVRYONE who hits and runs, from the selfish leecher to the selfish admin moneygrubbers…you are the same thing! BURN IN HELL!

  55. Here are the two programs that can modify the ratio:

    1. Latest version, supports only one torrent at one tracker, at given time.
    File: R1.rar
    DownloadLink: http://rapidshare.com/files/20143763/R1.rar
    File-Size: 162 KB

    2. Not up-to-date, but supports as many torrents from as many trackers as you want, at given time.
    File: R2.rar
    DownloadLink: http://rapidshare.com/files/20144534/R2.rar
    File-Size: 256 KB

    They do not require installation, just extract the archives in some folder, that you created for them.

    They do not download, nor upload anything.

    So, download the torrent file whith as much leechers as possible. Open it in the program, set download and upload speeds at reasonable values and start using it.

  56. All this stuff about ratio etc. etc. and how to cheat, it’s all so complicated, but Azureius is easy to crack, just by changing a line of text in a file, no problems no backlash, does the job, but Azureus has too many other issues to use, I have XP 64 Bit and Azureus hangs my enet connection after 10 to 30 minutes, tried all sorts of fixes and settings but still does it. I’m now using uTorrent, it’s interface sucks, but it works. I do seed but I can’t leave my PC on 24/7, that’s what it takes to get a good ratio.

    It’s not my fault I have 10 Mb down and 0.5 Mb up, my average DL speed on torrents is something like 100 KBs, I usually DL at least 2 Files, and as I need my bandwidth for other things I usually set the upload to 20KB. SO that ratio is as about 20 times, so do I Seed for 1-2 days for each file? Not effin likely, but I do seed for a few hours, which gives others a chance to complete their torrents, this ratio stuff sucks, as long as people send and receive files until they get the whole thing, then a bit more, what’s the issue? There will always be enough Seeds until the torrent is too old.

    It’s all bollox and oh so easy to cheat.

  57. well well. leechers trying to justify themselves!

    you want the REAL facts? here they are….
    if you dont share to a 1:1 you are a leecher.
    dont argue that its stolen material anyway so us that share to a 1:1 have nothing to complain about, thats rubbish
    you are getting the material as well, dumbass. and its not all illegal. people who get public torrents like linux distros and game trailers etc are not doing anything illegal!
    what if you bought the film and it got scratched? perfectly legal to dload it so you can watch it again!!

    if i take 300mb, and give 300mb to the next joe, and he gives that 300mb back to the next joe and so one, we all get and give, we share! thats what bittorrent works and how it is supposed to provide decent dload speeds
    because everyone gives back as much as they take

    if people stopped giving to the next joe the next joe cant take. then it comes back to you because no one is giving back because its too difficult.
    then the whole point of the bloody bittorrent fails. IDIOTS!!

    then you come here and whinge about it when its YOU that is spoiling it. dont you think 95% of people have grossly asymmetrical connection speeds? like 10:1 etc
    you whinge how can i upload with the crappy upload speeds my isp gives me
    yeah, like mine, 1MB dload and 50KB upload, like everyone else!

    so, why do it?-
    you cheat the download process so you dont have dload stats, but you claim you are still uploading to others.
    excellent
    so if you are arguing that you still upload to others and share to a 1:1 ratio, whats the problem with having those download stats as well? you still have to download it whether it records you data or not
    and if you still share and upload to other like you claim you do, what is the point of using exploits to avoid the download stats????

    i’ll tell you what the point is, so you DONT have to share to a 1:1 ratio, therefore you are not sharing.

    i say the people who find these exploits are probably clever IT people. you have to know how it works to exploit it
    why not put that decent brain of yours to better use?
    instead figuring out how to cheat a system that they claim actually does no harm to the swarm
    whatever

  58. if u hate ratios so much why not start ur own private tracker with no ratios or rules and see how well it does.
