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.

    Just setup a seedbox, man…why you gotta cheat?

    If you don’t want to do that, switch to usenet or public trackers with a VPN. Private trackers are small and require seeders to keep torrents alive. That’s why they incentivize it.
