Accidental Ghost leeching
Hello all, I just got banned from a tracker for "ghost leeching". I had to look up this term because I had no idea what it meant. My question is Can someone accidentally "ghost leech"? I understand that you guys cant explain how to do it, but would cycling a router or running a program like CleanUp while downloading cause this problem?
Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
No, attempting to stop reporting what you're leeching to a tracker will do it, as well as giving out your passkey or torrents you've downloaded to other people who do the same thing; this is breaking the rules.
Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
but i dont get it. how could I have been ghost leeching without knowing it?

ditherski made u a question. or is it preferable to report u as a dupe account and u risk lose your original one ?
Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
I am not sure how you have a ghost leeching. but I dont think it has something to do with CleanUp while you are downloading.
Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
What client were you using, and where did you download it? Normally cheaters run a program, or a modified client. I suppose its possible that you were using a modified client without knowing it, but you should always download clients from the developers site, not some random mirror site.
Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
Well no, there are other possibilities I suppose. I remember hearing about 1 ISP that was messing with the client's announces, they were modifying / blocking the packets sent, and the tracker would see it as cheating.
But that is probably not the case here.
Edit, whered the post above mine go?

Re: Accidental Ghost leeching
well damn. I get banned for nothing and now the tool won't listen to reason.
I understand everyone lies on the internet but come on. I was a member of the tracker for over 5 years and have even donated to them.
freakin sucks
