What.cd and Waffles ban Azureus and Deluge

oh, another thing about torrent clients and cheating. utorrent can easily make people cheat with dual announcing...

The torrent's info_hash must be the same for that to happen. It isn't the best method... most of the time the "cheaters" caught using that are people that like in your case, added multiple private tracker URLs to the same torrent (manually or otherwise), and got banned on one of them for reporting upload/download activity it otherwise wasn't tracking.

you're looking from different angle, i'm speaking about non-intentional violations of stats reporting, just like those +15/20% in deluge. one more time - when automatically adding .torrents if the same hash is found, utorrent just quietly add the next announce string to the torrent without giving any notice to user and placing him in potentially dangerous situation. rtorrent as example just says to gtfo

Yes, we can agree on that.

Just to point out anon isn't 'just' a cheater. He codes cheating clients and mods/runs a cheating board. Comparing anon to the average cheater is like comparing The coders and sysops of a tracker with its members.

You're saying he's worse tha just a cheater or that he's better than most cheaters?

Just so I understand, I don't want to make any conclusions (but I do all the time ).

Yay, you revived my thread

I'm saying he (and his kind) are a blight on the private tracker community.

Would you rather some internal coder for internal private communities making all the cheats?

Sure, anon might be a cheater, but you have to have some respect for him not denying it, and constantly standing up for what he believes in.

Sorry if this sounds a bit weird, but cheaters usually want to reap the advantages of cheating, while also expecting the respect that comes with being an honored member. They make the decision to cheat, yet are unable to stick with their choices, so much that they deny it, and hope that they can still be looked upon as a decent, respectable member.

In that regard, Anon is sane. He fully understands what he's doing and is not afraid of admitting it, he understands that whatever the choice he makes, he cannot pick and choose the advantages/disadvantages that come with it.
