RatioMaster

Version 1.9.1
*** Intro ***
RatioMaster is an application designed for spoofing uploads on BitTorrent tracke
rs.
It connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but withou
t
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 cert
ain
rate, thus making it useful for artificially increasing your ratio on certain si
tes
that track a user's overall ratio (total uploaded/total downloaded).
RatioMaster has hardcoded emulations for the most commonly used BitTorrent clien
ts,
but it is also able to parse external files for emulation settings, thus making
it easily
extensible for your favorite client and easy to update when new versions of said
clients
are released. The client files (extension ".client") are actually renamed XML fi
les and
the syntax should be pretty straight-forward. The emulation layer includes suppo
rt for
parameter order in GETs, reproduction of HTTP headers, generation of application
-specific
peer_ids and keys and more. RatioMaster can also parse the tracker reannounce ti
me from
the tracker's HTTP response, and combined with the fact that you can specify dow
n and
up rates makes it pretty hard to detect by any anti-cheat scripts, if not downri
ght
impossible. Other features, like a TCP listener (so as to appear connectable on
the
tracker's peerlist) and a leecher counter (so as to stop any uploads when a torr
ent
has 0 leechers) also contribute to RatioMaster's spoofing abilities.
Memory Reader
--------------------
Starting from version 1.6 RatioMaster have integrated Memory Reader tool that us
efull
when you want to read exact Peer ID, Key, Port and Number of peers announce para
meters
from your regular torrent client (like uTorrent,Azureus,Bitcomet or others). Loo
k for
the 'Memory Reader' button in Advanced Tab.
Command Line support
---------------------
Starting from version 1.7 RatioMaster supports command line options.This feature
is useful
if you want to run several torrents from batch file or shortcuts with predefined
setting:
Possible keys :
/minimize - RM will start minimized to tray.
/start - RM will load latest torrent (or the one provided in command line) an
d
automatically start it
/downloadRate, /uploadRate - RM will set download and upload speed
 /percent - RM will set finished percent (0% = start leeching, 100% = seeding)
/hide - RM will start in hidden mode, minimized and no tray icon .Use at you
r own
risk, as far as i know the only way to stop it, is to kill process in Task Manag
er.
Examples (torrentpath.torrent is a full path to the torrent file) :
ratiomaster.exe torrentpath.torrent
- will load the torrent
ratiomaster.exe torrentpath.torrent /start
- will load the torrent from torrentpath and run it with default options
ratiomaster.exe torrentpath.torrent /start /uploadRate:250 /downloadRate:200
/percent:100
- will load the torrent and start it with 250 upload,200 download,and finished
100%
ratiomaster.exe /uploadRate:250
- will set provided value,all others will be default from settings
ratiomaster.exe /minimize /start
- will start ratiomaster in minimized mode with last loaded torrent.
Saving individual torrent settings
----------------------------------
Starting from version 1.7 RatioMaster saves individual settings for each torrent
and uses
those settings next time that you are loading same torrent.
Setting files are stored in '/Torrents Config' subfolder of the ratiomaster.exe
folder.
Localization support
----------------------------------
Starting from version 1.8 Ratiomaster supports different languages by using text
unicode files.
Those files are stored in /lng subfolder of the ratiomaster.exe folder and shoul
d have an extension 'lng'.
Users are encouraged to create their own translations using english.lng as a tem
plate.

*** Requirements ***

RatioMaster requires that you've got the .NET Framework version 2 installed.
You can get it from Microsoft:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/6/7/567758a3-759e-473e-bf8f-52154438565
a/dotnetfx.exe

*** How to use ***

1. Get a .torrent file associated with the tracker you want to spoof.
2. Load or Drag/Drop that file into RatioMaster.
3. Change the settings in the Options group to your liking: upload speed,
download speed (set to 0 to spoof upload only), finished (how much of the file d
o you
want to appear that you have - set to 100% if you want to appear as a seeder)
4. Choose 'Client Simulation' in Advanced Tab to be the same type as your regula
r torrent client.
5. Optionally, look through the Advanced and Network tabs and see if you need an
ything
changed there, like using a specific port or announcing through a proxy server.
Most users won't need to change anything here.
6. Press the Start button and watch the bytes start rolling.
7. After a while, when you decide you've spoofed enough, press the Stop button t
o announce
to the tracker that you're ending your session.

*** Things to remember ***

First of all, don't use very high upload speeds. Some trackers check sessions fo
r very big
upload rates. Using a 6 MB/s upload rate when your IP belongs to an ISP who only
has a 512
kbps plan is plain stupid. Check the moofdev forums on more info on maximum safe
speeds
reached by other users on different trackers.
Never spoof uploads on a tracker with few peers. If there are only 2 leechers an
d they're
downloading at a maximum of 300 kB/s, and you're spoofing an upload of 2 MB/s, i
t will
look suspicious.
Keep the software up-to-date. Sometimes bugs are found that may get you banned o
n sites.
RatioMaster includes an automatic version checker and will notify you when a new
version
is released. Update!
If you're going to take part in discussions on the moofdev forums, or other foru
ms that
deal with this sort of software, don't use the same username you use on trackers
.
We've had instances of tracker admins visiting the forums to see whether any of
our users
were members on their trackers and... well, you can assume what happened next.
Read the forums. Sometimes users will report that a certain tracker simply canno
t be
fooled. It's better to stay informed than be banned on your favourite tracker.
Last, but not least, only spoof when you NEED to. By cheating on a torrent,
you're disrupting the swarm and going against the spirit of p2p.
Unless you really need to increase your ratio and there's no better way (short o
f paying
money - pay2leech trackers are a lot worse than cheating peers), don't cheat.
