How to increase your upload/download/ratio in bittorrent trackers

Posted By Raymond In Category: Computer // Torrent

Having a hard time seeding after downloading files from a torrent tracker site? In Malaysia, we do have a decent 1Mb download speed but our upload speed is only 512Kb. In order to get a 1-1 ratio, we’ll have to spend double of the time or more to seed after download because our upload speed is half of our download speed. This is also IF there’s enough seeders to leech from you in order to maximise your upload speed… There is a bug to increase your upload/download/ratio in bittorrent trackers illegally. I call this the bittorrent ratio hack.

The “bug” has been tested on the torrent trackers that use the torrentbits source code (I don’t know if it works on other trackers).
The idea of this this “bug” is that you will sniff your torrent info using the HTTP Analyzer and with Firefox you will update your stats to the tracker being identified as a client. This is a simple and short tutorial that shows you how to do it, if you are “more” advanced you can use other tools to do it.

Programs that you need:


• HTTP Analyzer – http://www.ieinspector.com/httpanalyzer/
• Mozilla Firefox – http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
• User Agent Switcher Extension – http://chrispederick.com/work/firefox/useragentswitcher/
• And an bittorrent client such as µTorrent – http://www.utorrent.com/

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Install the User Agent Switcher Extension (the extension will be used to identify as a bittorrent client to the tracker) to Mozilla Firefox (if you don’t have Firefox, get it!).
2. After installing the extension go in Firefox to:

Tools -> User Agent Switcher -> Options -> Options -> User Agents

Click Add, write “BitTorrent/3.4.2” to the Description and User Agent and then press “Ok“.

3. Then go to:
Tools -> User Agent Switcher and select the newly added User Agent, “BitTorrent/3.4.2”.

4. Install HTTP Analyzer.
5. Get a .torrent file from a tracker that uses the torrentbits source code and add it to your client. (DO NOT START IT)
6. Start HTTP Analyzer and go to the “Start Logging” button, select “Select a process…“, choose utorrent.exe if you’re using µTorrent (Important: If you use Azureus, select the javaw.exe proccess from the list) from the list and click “Ok“.
HTTP Analyzer select utorrent
7. Go into your client and start the torrent.
8. Now go into HTTP Analyzer, there you should see a GET request to the tracker.

Example:

GET /torrents/announce.php?info_hash=%B5%2D%F4%ADM%18%7C%83C%
E9%EC%C8%C7%F7%973%3Fap%15&peer_id=%2DBC0059%2Dp%D1%
FBd%D0%C6%EC%7B%B4%D5q%B8&port=12345&uploaded=0&
downloaded=0&left=0&numwant=200&compact=1&no_peer_id=1&
key=9427&event=started HTTP/1.0
bittorrent ratio hack

9. Open Firefox, paste into the address bar:

http://TRACKER.ADDRESS/announce.php?info_hash=INFOHASH&peer_id=PEERID&port=PORT&uploaded=UPLOADED&

downloaded=0&left=0&numwant=0&event=completed

replace:
TRACKER.ADDRESS with the torrent tracker address (ex: www.filelist.org:81)
INFOHASH with info_hash variable taken from the GET request from HTTP Analyzer,
PEERID with the peer_id
PORT with the port
UPLOADED with an number that you want, in bytes (ex: 10737418240 for 10GB)

Example:

http://www.filemp3.org:81/announce.php?info_hash=%B5%2D%F4%ADM%18%7C%

83C%E9%EC%C8%C7%F7%973%3Fap%15&peer_id=%2DBC0059%2D%C3F%
A4c%C4%0D%D35i%93%93%EA&port=12345&uploaded=10737418240&
downloaded=0&left=0&numwant=0&event=completed

Press enter and then stop the torrent in your client. Now you should have 10GB added to your upload.
The “bug” should work on all sites that use the TorrentBits source code (including filelist.org, torrentbytes.net and anothers).

Note: I know it’s not fair to cheat your upload and download ratio in bittorrent tracker site. It’s best to upload what you downloaded to at least 1-1 ratio. The best way to improve a program’s security is to announce it. This bug is more than 6 months and I am surprised that this bug still worked for quite a few bittorrent tracker sites! Thanks to xyflar@gmail.com for this hack.

      cheater. cheater. cheater. Don abuse the bug. You’re making the torrent community dies. Torrent honestly. If you have low ul/dl ratio, then let it be, rather than cheating and making your ratio 1-1.

    • farking

      why making it so hard? there is a tool just point and click called RatioMaster. Go google :D

      Dude, what is your problem man? I share information on what I find and yall hatin’ me for it? I believe this information useful towards torrent trackers owner to update torrentbits tracker! If people want to abuse it, it’s beyond my power. Read the “Note” at the end of this article, I clearly said “It’s best to upload what you downloaded to at least 1-1 ratio”…

    • Goose

      Ne1 try this on sites such as puretna? I cant seem to get it to work

    • Sorta Lost

      How do i get the Peer ID? Where is that from?
      & is PORT the port # i use?

    • Sorta Lost

      well…say if we over-did this just today..say 20GB’s & about 2 or 3 different times…so total 60-8GB’s
      Would this bring up any red alerts in their system anywhere?

    • akki

      do experiment but be true at sharing, keep sharing and keep your self alive, internet shares everything.

    • BigRed

      This is horrible for the torrent community. If more and more people do it then the files wont be there to download. You might as well shoot yourself in the foot. This isnt like Napster or Kazaa. Before using this info please go learn how torrents work and you will understand why this info will do damage to the torrent community.

      Nice, works good.

    • Itak

      This is fun,but there s a utility called RatioMaster,that already does it and much better.

      Raymond,maybe you can help develop this tool further with your knowledge?

      OK guys. There are millions of people who download/upload 24h a day from their jobs with broadbands. Those guys are seeding to mostly everyone. But there is a majority dowloading from home who CAN NOT wait days for a bloody movie. In this sense, the torrent community would die too because of despair. Small private users use tricks because they have slow connections, small hard disks to store files, and are humans beings who have limited patience.

      Stop critizicing the leechers because it’s easy to be cool when it’s as easy as doing it from the office with a super computer or a very fast line 24 hours a day.

    • jake

      Wow!. There are judgmental and hypocrite liberals lurking in this forum. Would somebody tell those fat slobs to shut up. If they don’t like what they read here, then why even show p on this page. Why? Because these imbeciles have nothing better to do than spew hate on anyone who does not agree with their perverse sense of logic.

    • george

      Thank you VERY much! I\’m tired of uploading files 24/7 resulting in lack of sleep because of the noisy P4 fan(s)!

    • george

      Oh and by the way, since when do all you tracker admins are in position to make rules and judge others for sharing in an appropriate way… illegal material????
      Or is it because with this trick there’s no reason for someone to pay a “donation” to your tracker, just to get some free ratio?? Ah? Isn’t it ?

    • Panta

      I\’ve tried it in a tracker where neither ratiomaster nor Trackerpro worked and resulted in banning me with no second thought, even without considering I had offered many of my files as new torrents. I suppose it failed because of the big upload size in very few minutes, so try keeping the torrent more time active in your client while you work on the rest procedure. Of course I worthed the ban but my question is how the hell am I supposed to compete users with 24Mbps (as most of them had) with my tiny 2Mbps and the time delay?? By paying money to get some extra ratio? One way or another I was doomed! :)
      So go fuck yourselves ratio based tracker administrators for making money with our own files, pcs and internet connections.
      Long live public trackers. I prefer uploaing for them rather than been blackmailed!

      plz send your answer to thesphinxvn@gmail.com
      thank you so much!!!!!

    • JJJ

      All you selfish idiots are going to be the death of torrents.

      All you care is getting what you want.

      What if everyone started cheating using this and using the other ratio cheats , who will get anything if there’s nothing being seeded but by you low lifes.

      If you can’t share honestly then stay away from the private trackers.

    • http://hereyougo Look

      use BitTorrentBooster.com

      it will do the job http://BitTorrentBooster.com

      i use it and i love it !

    • http://pceasies.com pceasies

      But that just destroys P2P. If you download and don’t upload then it falls apart instantly. All you do is leave it seeding over night (sometimes bandwidth will speed up) and come morning all your torrents will be nice and seeded.

    • http://MMM Badal ( Siliguri, West-Bengal, India)

      Dear torrent downloaders, just assume that one day we want to dwnld something via torrent which we like most and suddenly it becomes unavailable. Also we are not getting any other downloads. Wht can we do then. There will be no use of internet for us..

      It will be just because of “hacking the tottent commitee…”

      It will be just because of “not sharing data with others”
      It will be just because of “Not seeding.”
      It will be just because of “hacking dwnld/upld ratio”

      “So to keep download alive just upld what u dnld”

    • LPBond

      Just try Torrent Ratio Keeper and no need to seed at all! I turned on “Don’t send Downloaded Traffic reports” and it’s great! Share ratio increases and almost no uploading at all ;)

    • Guru

      could someone plz tell me how it is possible to increase my upload speed?

    • Saravanan

      This is a old hack and will get you banned from many prive trackers. So, Don’t try to use it.

    • rick

      DUDES, THE ONE WHO WORRIES ABOUT THESE KIND OF HACKS SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT COUNTERMEASURES ARE AVAILABLE AT THEIR DISCREATION TO ANY OF THE ADMINISTRATORS REGULATING THESE SITES. RAYMOND IS IMPROVING THE BITTORRENT COMMUNITY WITH THIS INFORMATION!

      PEACE!

    • rick

      AND MY THE WAY THE ONES COMMENTING AND MAKING A FUSS ABOUT ALL THIS AS WELL IS IMPROVING THE BITTORRENT COMMUNITY AS WELL. ITS ALL APART OF THE PROCESS!

      PEACE IN FREE SPEECH!

    • Seeder

      Why does it seem that I download stuff quickly, but upload so slowly. It almost feels like people are leeching off other seeders and avoiding me (haha).

      Is there a way to encourage faster upload speeds?

      To all the people against this hacking (of which I am also not very interested in participating), I leave my computer on 24/7. My electricity bill is killing me, and my ratio refuses to go above 1.2.
      With my current method, the only way for me to raise my ratio would be to not turn my computer off and not download anything for a good 6 months (at least), which I am of course, hoping against.

    • Puding

      Works for me, i make 20TB of upload, and i got banned after 1 day haha :3

      Nice dude !

    • Romeo

      I never was blocked on torrent sites :) I’m using this program to increase my ratio http://freesoft80.com/products/torrent-fake-download-upload-software.html
