Cheating on TL (TorrentLeech)

[Yakian]

Boxsets, packs and compilations are treacherous. They seem to have a lot of leechers, but those aren't actually leeching anything, they're just people who chose to download only parts of the torrent. So basically, you were "uploading" while the rest of the swarm was idle, raised a flag for this, then got banned.

I guess it's that, considering that I had uploaded more than 40GB

Another question:
If I sign up using an invite from a friend (that I invited there in the first place) can that be considered suspicious?

[anon]

Not really, I doubt they will check for that.

NO seeding time actually makes you safe its your upload speed and selection of torrent

so what torrent should i select , i just make sure that are at least 10 leechers right ?

Choose any famous TV show the day it is released to cheat. There are a large number of leechers on such torrents, and the size is also small.

tv show, new movie brrips or any very new scene release has same popularity.

after successful cheating to a ratio of 3 and 150 GB of upload on mRatio on well-leeched torrents and upload speeds of 300 Kb/s i donwloaded a movie (for real) on my utorrent and one day after it i got banned !!! ,
1-is it that they noticed the speed Difference between the real torrents and the fake ones ? (my real download and upload speed are slow)
2-did they notices the difference in torrent agents(on mR simulation is utorrent 3.1.3 ) and the real utorrent is 3.3 ?

what gave me away ?

[anon]

what gave me away ?

You thinking that the answer to both questions is "no". It is "yes". But I guess you've just learnt that the hard way.

At least ask them the reason on IRC so that you can be careful the next time.

1) For this you can say that you upgraded / downgraded the plan.

2) For this you can say that you upgraded utorrent from 3.1.3 to 3.3

Anyone knows if it's against their rules to download a torrent file and then actually download it on another computer?

My guess is that he used mRatio and uTorrent, so basically it was blatantly obvious. An IRC visit might still be worthwhile, even if just to be 100% sure they caught you cheating.

It's not. I did that on TL all the time when my school didn't block torrents, and seedboxes are basically "another computer".

How's your snatchlist? 'cause i downloaded hundreds of torrents and only 22 ( recent ones) show there most.

I fear to put in jeopardy any account i create in another tracker with the same name (or even a different).
If the list does get shortened after a while i only have to be believable on that list to apply to others?

Don't entries get removed after X months of no activity for each torrent?

At least that's how it was on the pre-2010 site, I always keep on forgetting whether the "new" design does this or not, but I believe it did.
