What.cd - Slow and steady wins the race

[TheUnknown]

I've seen some really intricate methods here, but here's one for beginners like me.

This is what i've been doing, and no ban so far. I have used it on relatively dead torrents too.

1. I use uTorrent 1.6.1 build 490
   
   • I like uTorrent
   • I used to use this version b/c newer ones don't work for ghostleeching (don't do it on this tracker though)
2. I use RatioMaster
   
   
   • mRatio won't release a public emulation for uTorrent, and all the other windows clients that it supports suck IMO
   • Set your client to uTorrent 1.6.1 490
   • Uncheck update peer_id and key on startup
   • Set your upload to 10 kb/s and randomise upload between 0 and 15.

Now... this is what you do...

1. Download the torrent for real, on your real client. This way you have real speeds
2. Leave it seeding for 24-48 hours, so you look legit.
3. Stop the torrent in uTorrent
4. Start RM, and select the torrent. Use memory reader to get a peer_id
5. Start, and leave it running for a while

That's all! This method is slow, but over a few hours you'll be able to get 1:1 on any torrent, because they are small. Just make sure you only use it when there are actual leechers. I would say only if there are 5+

This is better off in the Talk section.

You can ghostleech with newer uTorrent versions if you enable an HTTP proxy and set it to 1.1.1.1 after the first announce, or use my DHT-Patch mod.

And don't forget to stop the torrent in uT when you're about to cheat on it with the RM!

[TheUnknown]

Ha! That's a neat trick. So when you do that and clear the tracker it won't rescrape the peers?

[anon]

You can't delete the tracker URL. But when uTorrent tries to update the tracker, it'll fail since 1.1.1.1 isn't a valid host.

Have uploaded over 100GB in under a month now What I do is just download all torrents which have over 5 leechers with the Extreme Mod. Then I just use the Waffle Method till I got around 1.2~ in ratio. But I don't cheat anymore. Don't have to The staffpicks helped me a lot too.

[TheUnknown]

staffpicks?

waffles method works, I guess, but it's a little hard for beginners. This is a good strategy for beginners on trackers with small torrents

staffpicks?

Special, freeleech torrents chosen by the What.cd staff.

actually trying to find this now; where IS the http proxy setting in utorrent?

[anon]

Options -> Preferences -> Connection -> Proxy Server.

There are some freelech torrents for example 'the clifford ball' which say on mtorrent seeds:0 (841), peers: 0(14). Is it safe to use the above technique until a 1:1 ratio?

[anon]

It should:

This is what i've been doing, and no ban so far. I have used it on relatively dead torrents too.

14 peers is a bit far from dead, specially if they aren't partial seeders. Of course, if you've already downloaded the torrent, you can use the Waffles method instead.

I'm using Azureus Mod with this options: Speed++ checked

Upload: 50-60kb's
Stop seeding after 1.5 ratio exceeded
Been there for 60 weeks now.

I use RM with 80 to 100 Kbps Speed with moderate leecher torrents. and that works fine. but, don't cheat a single torrent more than 5-6 hours, you will got caught.

Does the same apply for waffles????

[mrcrabs]

Yes i guess , but i think you could use the waffle method if you want to cheat on waffles , it"s just better.
