Hi, I was wondering how they do this and if there is a way to “cheat” the amount of data you are downloading or seeding.

    You have a unique “passkey” in the torrent that you download, and the tracker won’t let you connect without it. I wouldn’t try to cheat it, or you’ll likely end up banned. Trackers have scripts to detect tampering.

      Not to mention its not a huge scene. If you get black-listed, you might have a hell of a time getting back in to decent trackers if the admins share info on known blacklisters
