their whole tracker is broken. no developer team, everything is falling apart there.Originally Posted by Codec
users are constantly complaining about having wrong up/down stats and all kinds of bugs.
In the past, a bug caused all seeding and leeching time to show up as 134 years. It was like a free ice-cream buffet for those who used the Waffles method.

I downloaded a torrent which is around 24 MB using Ratio Master Plus but it is reported as 26 MB downloaded at 100%, will this difference cause any problems?

This can happen with a real client too (it is mentioned in the FAQ of most trackers), and we have clearly identified Waffles as being buggy anyway.

I got banned because of my invitee.. In this thread it is said that i need to have atleast 48 hour seedtime but my question is won't the torrent activity become zero by that time? Won't all the leechers become seeders? How can i cheat on it?
You don't need to cheat after 48 hours, it's the other way around. The idea behind this method is that you cheat a lot first, stop before updating, and then seed for a long time so that your average speeds (wherever they're recorded) are reduced until they're realistic.I got banned because of my invitee.

Ok. I got another account and it's almost 2 month old now, i will start cheating after a few more weeks. Btw some are saying it's risky to cheat on packs and some are saying it's ok, is it ok if i do waffles method on pack with partial seeders?
DCP, CPS, Minutemen, et al. (Various Creators) <<-- is it ok to fake on this one?

Yes, it's a wise decision not to start cheating right away when you create a new account.
Packs are indeed difficult material to decide whether cheating is ok or not. I wouldn't recommend cheating on old packs, but rather on new and large ones.
it's hip to be square
Yeah, i'm waiting for my account to be a few more months older. On my old account i started cheating when it was around 1.5 years old, i had cheated on packs (old and new ones), new albums, old albums(even with 0 leechers). I was never caught. I was banned for inviting a guy from another country, i didn't go and ask for my account to be re-enabled. :(
They don't ban over a bad invitee, they only remove your invite privileges. It must have been something else; I'm inclined to think your profile and cheating "got noticed" when he was banned and they checked who brought him in.
As for the packs, alpacino's advice is solid.

My invitees were not cheaters. I think the main reason is that i offered invite on an invite forum and they somehow tracked me. One of my invitees were questioned through pm. They asked him how he knew me,....etc. He somehow convinced them to re-enable him but me and the other guy i invited were disabled. Also my snatchlist was ok. Every torrent had different ratio, very low avg speed, long seeding time... I had only uploaded around 30 gb.

That changes the picture, indeed. Without meaning to sound pretentious, most invite forums log IPs and don't have an image host whitelist, so they aren't as secure as this one. (And that's in addition to the other things it takes to keep users safe. The entire etiv.in database got leaked once...)
Read this, always disable images in forums that don't have a whitelist, and be careful with the links you click, because appearances can be deceiving (see here for an example: http://www.sb-innovation.de/f59/litt...waffles-12494/).

Offtopic question - How can i check whether a link i've received will take me to the right place? I have heard that links can be used to steal IP address.
Right-click it and select Copy Link Address/Copy Shortcut (or similar), then paste it in a text editor. Try it with the one I posted above and you'll see it takes you to example.com, even though it looks like sb-innovation.de.
If it's a shortened URL, there are ways to preview them:
- is.gd: add a - at the end of the link
- bit.ly: add a + at the end
- tinyurl.com: change the hostname to preview.tinyurl.com
goo.gl links should never be clicked, as they always log your IP, which is then readable by the owner of the Google account that generated them.
