Modded clients - Extreme Mod, Faze Mod, Shareaza SBI-Leecher, BitThief PS, uSerenity
Advantages
- Undetectable when used correctly
- Extremely flexible, lots of cheating settings [Extreme Mod, Faze Mod, SBI-Leecher, uSerenity]
- No upload [Faze: Private version only]
- Perfect client spoofs [The BitThief PS has a hardcoded BitTornado emulation]
Disadvantages
- Higher resource usage [Azureus Hack]
- Maybe not as easy to use if you're new
- The BitThief PS Mod's only cheating setting is a download multiplier. The mod is designed exclusively for leeching.
- Shareaza SBI-Leecher's fake upload isn't visible and applies globally
Hex-mods - uTorrent Expansion LP/Extreme LE, BitComet, others
Advantages
- No extra resource usage
- Easy to use (run the mod you want and add a torrent)
Disadvantages
- Detectable by higher-level trackers
- Not very extensible
- Mods don't always work on all trackers (regardless of getting banned)
- You can't see your fake ratio or change the cheating settings from the UI
Tools - RM(R), mRatio, PMR, GreedyTorrent/Ratio Faker, UNI-Leech
Advantages
- You may not even need the files to start faking [RM, mR, PMR]
- Feature-filled and easy to use
- Low resource usage
Disadvantages
Some trackers can detect the RM Mr. RatioMaster has fixed the port issue and scraping, so if you use the memory reader, you shouldn't be detected. Also, cheatos's RMeX can almost fully automate the Waffles method, which few trackers ban.mRatio's Deluge and Azureus scrape emulations are buggy mRatio 3.0.10 is out.- UNI-Leech pads your announces with NULs so it doesn't work on all trackers
- You can't fake without the files with GT/RF
, and must change the multiplier regularly. Not anymore, thanks to cheatos' GT Randomizer. GreedyTorrent also doesn't work properly with uTorrent 1.8.2 GT appears to work with 1.8.3. You could also get Ratio Faker off our Tools section, and it randomizes multipliers - it also appears to have issues with newer uTorrent versions, however.- The PMR is overly detectable
Something you should know about tools

Otherwies if it would be something else that makes tools detectable ...
Also, it's tested, and RM works at Waffles (I don't recommend it, don't use RM there), the problem must be something that has to do with the announce which is sent.
A litte difference to an original announce makes it detectable, so the program itself isn't detectable, it's not using a bug like PMR does, but the client emulation (spoof) is the weak point.
Or maybe it's something with the constant speed rate, ... .
In short:
Using a tool is (nearly) as safe as using a mod (just because you can't see the peerspeed) as long as the tool is as perfectly coded as the mod is.
@Everyone: if I forgot anything please tell me.
