Hi
Some trackers consider download stats for user class progression. Even if I only get freeleech stuff my connection is slow and I'd still have to deal with downloading & deleting a lot of useless stuff.
Obvious solution to this is reporting fake stats to the tracker but the problem with that is discrepancy in upload stats of real seeders of the faked torrent.
My question is, is it possible to do a semi-fake version of this, meaning the torrent client would still connect to the peers and request pieces (more pieces than we would normally get with our connection), and seeders would actually send those pieces, but our torrent client would never actually download them over the network, just report to tracker and seeder as OK.
Is it even possible protocol-wise? If it is, does one of the existing tools support such an operation?
