For one thing, they are into the English content that given torrent community in question provides them. Hence their care level for that particular site is pretty high.Second, they can read/write and hence communicate with other members of the community. And those who do communicate are far more likely to realize (not just know but realize) how wrong cheating is.
On the other hand, those who can't read or write English properly, are very less likely to be interested in English content the torrent site in question provides. Hence, their care level for that particular site is pretty low. They have those tracker just for fun and getting banned for cheating/trading isn't going to make any difference for them.Furthermore, as they can't read/write very well, they are less likely to communicate and might just not realize how wrong cheating is.
To me that makes sense coz many who are caught cheating/trading (from my observation) do not have good English. Notice i did not say the other way around - i did not say all people w/ bad English cheat.
As for cheating for slow speed, take Australia (or New Zealand like Artemis said), they don't have the best connection either. But you don't see them cheating, not in significant number at least. Notice that people from Australia and New Zealand and fairly read/write English as well.
Just the other way around goes in FPS games. People who speak most English sh!t are likely to cheat during gameplay.
eiditZ: Now i feel like it has all to do with care level for particular torrent site in concern. Language, i assume, is just one of many factors that affects care level.
