Ive always noticed some suspicious profiles on private trackers, where they have enormous ratio stats even though they don’t belong to a VIP tier/class. How do they achieve this? Do they use softwares like greedytorrents or ratioghost? If yes how do they go undetectable by the mods? I’ve been looking up some remote forums from (sb-innovations.de) where there’s literally a group discussion on this.
It’s easier to play legit than it is to cheat. I doubt many cheaters actually get caught, but like why risk it?
Cross-seed and autobrr. Should be enough to maintain ratios on pretty much any site excluding RED.
Just think of each site as a “game”, each one has a set of rules to work inside of, most have “cheezy” strats to min-max ratio with little effort like permaseeding small torrents for bonus points that can be exchanged for ratio.
Maybe on some trackers you have to resort to these cheats, I don’t know. On many private trackers, you get bonus points just for seeding a torrent - doesn’t matter if anyone downloads from you, the points just accumulate hourly. Then you exchange the points for upload, which counts toward your ratio just like it would if you had physically uploaded that amount.
I normally just suspect they have a damn good seed box, if freeleech is available probably have a few massive torrents, and if bonus points are available probably clearing their download if that’s an option on that tracker to inflate the ratio. There probably is some cheating, but I leave that up to the moderators. As long as I have enough of a ratio for myself I don’t really care what other people’s ratios look like.
