Is it really true that all ratio cheaters eventually get caught?

If you invited him via FST, you can be helped.

You're probably talking about SCC. It's indeed true. Even when I used seedboxes, I hardly managed to reach decent ratios there, and with my home connection it's very rare the torrent I reach over 0.5

Thank you Cabalo, but nevermind... it was a long long time ago. =/
And I was talking about bitme.tv, but good to know about SCC too so I'll never try my head there =P
 
but they seed slowly when there are leechers on, in fear of getting caught, and they dont upload and cheat, they just cheat, they dont need to upload, its not like they have to upload, so yes to the tracker he is seeding, to the leechers he is giving 0 at all.

and seed a few torrents at 150KBs for a week, and you have quite a large buffer to play with. and there is quite a few ways to cheat, its not just download, then cheat. but you will have to do the research on that one, i am not going to tell people what you can do and cant do with these programs.
 
I do not see the point of cheating at all. I would rather let my account be disabled if running into ratio issues.
Do most cheaters do it for invites to trade or to up their ratio,both?
 
i stated torrenting with 25 kB/s or less up speed. joined several sites...ended up deleting/quitting those where i had to plan how to "survive". i'll stick with ratio free sites and sites with huge 20k+ userbase...and avoid all the hassle that comes with hard to seed on tracker. downloading a freeleech torrent that i'll never use, downloading something from one tracker only to crossseed in another, carefully watching my ratio....those never been my thing anyway.

@ Abybeats: People that do not have the means to get a decent ratio should not join at those places imo.
Now that brings me to the next argument.How do people maintain a good "acceptable" ratio in sites like BitmeTV from home connection?
 
What else would you want them to say? Seriously.

And I wasn't banned from What.cd for cheating. It was some shit involving transparent pixels and the infamous CSS hack, which we weren't shielded against at the time. That no longer holds true, however.

I also lost my first BCG account that way. But What.cd was the biggest loss - a 2008 account, that should speak for itself. I didn't even bother trying to get back in, until exactly one year ago someone PMed me asking me if I wanted an invite. He said he didn't know anyone else to give it to, and that he'd be honored to have me on his invite tree. Great guy. I took it, registered, and that account remains enabled to this day.

And to answer your question, no, it isn't true, and anyone trying to convince you of the opposite is either an idiot or doesn't know any better. Not that the fact a large chunk of cheaters don't get caught means you or anyone else should attempt to do it, anyway.

To tell you the truth, you don't actually sound like a person who believes in cheating. Have you really cheated on any tracker?
 
I totally agree with that!

You don't even need to keep a ratio on BCG, because all you have to do is leave the torrent you've actually downloaded, the seedpoint system will do the rest!
Wait until it's 1:0 and that's it. If every torrent ratio is 1.0 ,than your global ratio is 1.0! Why do you need then buffer? For nothing! :)

Nice point.. But you should not stop seeding after reaching 1:1 ratio as it will violet the main principle of p2p which is sharing..
 
They seed stuff for long periods of time.
I normally download some shows now and then for my wife which aren't really available on larger easier to seed sites.
I end up seeding them for about 3 weeks at a time before I reach 1:1.
Theres normally someone out there who looks for the show... its just a matter of waiting for them to come along.
Another thing that works on bmtv is uploading your own shows that they dont have yet... or even requests.

P.S. Is this post going to be deleted from this thread like my 4 posts last week were from other threads for no reason whatsoever?
 
I think they cheat because life on the internet is empty in some sense; they don't really care about what can happen to them on the internet. They care about real life outside of the internet.
