Did you know that you can cheat Bittorrent by spoofing it upload / download ratio?. Recently I read about a tool called RatioMaster at Raymonds Blog. He says
RatioMaster connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but without actually uploading to / downloading from other peers in the swarm. It reports to the tracker that it’s uploading (or downloading or both, it’s your choice) at a certain rate, thus making it useful for artificially increasing your ratio on certain sites that track a user’s overall ratio (total uploaded/total downloaded).

RatioMaster need Microsoft .net framework 2.0. You can download RatioMaster from here.

Here are the two programs that can modify the ratio:
1. Latest version, supports only one torrent at one tracker, at given time.

2. Not up-to-date, but supports as many torrents from as many trackers as you want, at given time.
File: R2.rar
DownloadLink: http://rapidshare.com/files/20144534/R2.rar
File-Size: 256 KB
They do not require installation, just extract the archives in some folder, that you created for them.
They do not download, nor upload anything.
So, download the torrent file whith as much leechers as possible. Open it in the program, set download and upload speeds at reasonable values and start using it.

Trackers are banning this program for many reasons.
Moreover for slow internet connections and for Internet users whose download limit is capped by their respective ISP can use this on their own risk.
Its like a slap on Torrent Community.
