Does ratio cheating cause any damage to a tracker?

[realityhd]

There should be a punkbuster for trackers.

I've heard about all the reasons behind this and cheating is totally wrong. I actually heard a decent excuse once that I would like to share. At one time most sites where only based on ratio. Quote, " I have to cheat to survive at this site or be banned. With all the seed boxes it makes it impossible to keep a good ratio. If I could afford a seedbox I wouldn't do this in the first place." But now most trackers have a seed for a certain period of time based on how much you've uploaded. Which in my opinion eliminates the need to cheat. I also believe that if you need to cheat at a site, then maybe the site is to much for you to handle and you should find a site like mentioned above. Example there is no way to survive on bitmetv without a seedbox, so if you don't have one simply get tvtorrents.

what do you really think is the answer to this thread?

That's not true it's possible to survive on any site without a seedbox if you're smart about how you download when you first join up. I've never used a seed box and get along fine with my slow upload speed.

Not on seedbox-only trackers.

No I suppose that's true though I've never actually heard of one. Have you?

When PTN was new people said it was a seedbox-only tracker, that was just hype unless it really was one in their early days.
But still, I heard of one.

Hell no. It's possible, I've never use seedbox and I don't have problems with ratio there, and some similar sites to BMTV, despite my slow connection.




Why you say so?? You want make excuse for people who cheat because they don't have seedboxes??

On every single site it's possible to survive, without boxes and without cheating. But one thing is important: you really have to want it.

I have left my app open and seeding on a particular tracker for a whole week while I was abroad. When I came back in the country, my torrent app said I upped about 4GB per day for 7 days, which is about 28GB. The tracker, to this day, said I have uploaded 1GB and downloaded 5GB.

I'm not sure if I did a reverse cheat or wtf happened, but I still (thankfully) have not been banned, but my numbers simply do not show up anymore no matter how much I down or up.

some ppl dont survive even have seedbox lol i know a few of my friends just join the tracker when sign ups open and they downloaded crazily and when i tell about keep a good ratio hard at there they just kidding me and i said oki do what you know after that both them banned for low ratio lol cuz the tracker uploaders dont even getting 3 ratio when uploading 720p tv show(one epps like prison break) about bitmetv keep a good ratio hard cuz ever1 have a decent connection and if you notice when 850-900 ppl snatched the torrent there is 950-1000 seeders(re-seeding)
It was hard to survive at there when i had seedbox as well but i was filling request but one of their mod gave me a pointless warning and i stopped the filling request but it was good to make someone happy and put a smiley to them face...
After got 0-day scene tracker and free pack honestly i understood no need to bitmetv generally but it is good tracker with decent speeds...
About cheating bitmetv has a great cheater script as well maybe this is the best part of their and "staff" ...
and about topic cheating is not all about ratio or not i think cheater only think they are clever and dont want to throw out cash $ and they dont want to keep on pc 7/24 especially for seeding they are just leeching...
So yea cheating is really hurt the tracker and about cheating and ip ban(whole or a part 'range' banning) some trackers staff members banning ranges and who country cuz most ppl just talking about how to cheating on tracker on im contact and mocking about tracker and how to pass the tracker this is another story like seedbox users and e-penises...
if i were a staff member on a tracker(i already been lol ) i never banned someone only for low ratio if he/she is keeping seeding with low connection as well...
I saw a few member who keeping seeding over months the files with the low connection...
low connection is really doesntmatter if he/she will keep seed a long time how many ppl keep seeding files on seedboxes some of them just renting 1 months and after got decent ratio just hit and running then this who have low connection is helping more than a seedbox user ;-)
Another funny story is about cheaters who have seedboxes already lol i would tell about this too but look like i typed long enough for today ....
