How does a private torrent tracker associate the downloader with my account? - eviltoast

Hi, I was wondering how they do this and if there is a way to “cheat” the amount of data you are downloading or seeding.

    Filelist org while it no longer exists was a private tracker and I can absolutely say the cheating ratio client completely worked.

    While I’m not proud of keeping myself ratio balanced that way (I had a very tiny upload compared to download) I can absolutely say a hacked uttorrent client kept me well above ratio at the time.

    It worked well although I kinda glad I haven’t seen similar mods sinxe
