Is my cheating plan good enough for RED?
Hey everyone,
I'm struggling to survive on RED and would also like to get invites for my friends. There's no way I can get there legit, my ~20GB ~100 torrents have been actively seeding for months and I barely get a few megabytes per week on a fiber connection (ridiculous). I've never cheated before, so I've read tips and tried to prepare a plan of attack but I'm not sure it's gonna work.
Here's what I plan on doing:
- Use RatioMaster Plus with qbittorrent v4.3.5 (which is my client) - I have the .rmc file for it
- Add all of my RED torrents to it (about 100 of them including partial seeds)
- Set every torrent to 0-1 KBps upload speed (with a random radius of 1 meaning some torrents won't upload at all)
- Set every torrent to 0 download speed
- Set "seeding" finished% (even for partial seeds since there does not seem to be anything else than a global option for this)
- Set torrents to automatically stop above 2 ratio
- Keep it running in the background with my actual qbittorrent client
This should average to about 50 KBps total (.5 KBps per torrent) which is 3 MB a minute which is 180 MB an hour. I would be doing this several hours a day, when my PC is on, for an avg of ~8.5 hrs a day which would be 1.53GB a day on average. I would only do this for enough time that I can get around 25GB uploaded (which would be ~1.66 ratio) so I can get the user class for invites and some buffer for snatching more torrents. With these speeds I could get there in about 2 weeks.
Here's what I think are weaknesses in my plan but I'm not sure if they will prove fatal or if they'll go unnoticed:
- There are a bunch of partial seeds, sometimes only a few MB, so if I set a ratio of 2 as my limit my actual ratio will be like 100 on these because RatioMaster Plus can only use total torrent size. I can fix this by going over each torrent manually and setting the correct limit which will be tedious.
- It's not super realistic that at the end all of my torrents will have a ratio of 1.5-2 each with a lot sitting at an almost perfect 2 (realistically, some will never ever reach 1 ratio even with a seedbox because they're just not popular enough) - I could go through them and manually randomize ratio limits
- I'll be seeding lots and lots of torrents without any leechers, albeit very slowly - this seems to be a big no-no, but the problem is that on Redacted, there are no leechers almost ever, apart from partial seeders, and they all complete in about a minute or two anyway, so if this is a no-no, then I can't do this at all?
- Although the speeds are slow individually, multiplied by time and amount of torrents, I'll be uploading a lot and my upload which has barely moved in 5 months will all of a sudden be quintupled in 2 weeks. The only way to fix this, as far as I can see, is slowing things down even more and stretching my goal over 2+ months instead of 2 weeks.
- Almost all my torrents will be uploading constantly very slowly whereas usually you'd get a big spike of upload when a leecher connects, for maybe 1 or 2 minutes, and then nothing for the rest of the day
Here are my questions:
- Instead of using RatioMaster like this (seeding the 100 torrents I have), should I look for recent/popular torrents on RED, add them to RatioMaster, and spoof both download and upload to make it look like I'm snatching torrents and uploading without ever adding them to my qbittorrent? (I don't want to store torrents on my machine just for the sake of building ratio so I don't want to legit download them)
- Is what I'm doing risky? How risky?
- Am I trying to go too fast? Should I slow it down?
- Anything to improve on?
- Can I do things more efficiently? Remove some of the tedium involved in setting things up correctly for each torrent? (like randomize ratio limit and set the correct value for partial seeds)
- Could this method work for other trackers such as OPS?
Thanks for reading this long post and thanks for your help
