Bram Cohen: Private Sites to Blame for Ratio Cheating.


“[Leechers are] engaging in perfectly reasonable and non-destructive behavior and the site is trying to punish him for it, thus fostering the creation of clients which lie about their statistics. This is the site's fault, and the result could do serious damage to the value of BitTorrent statistics generally. Sites which do this are being extremely destructive, and the way they grandstand about how they're fostering sharing really ticks me off,” he said.

Bram argues that the tit-for-tat nature of protocol is sufficient enough to stop destructive leeching. The BitTorrent protocol is robust enough to handle file sharers who limit their upload and do not seed after the file has finished downloading.

The creator of BitTorrent refuses to help private BitTorrent trackers, accusing them of being destructive to sharing. Despite the increasing sophistication and potential disruption posed by the latest generation of ratio cheating software, BitTorrent creator and developer Bram Cohen has reiterated his refusal to change the protocol.

Some private BitTorrent trackers monitor their members to ensure users upload as much as they download. Supporters say monitoring the upload/download ratio encourages sharing, resulting in faster download speeds. Those who do not reach the minimum ratio are normally banned from using the tracker.

As ratio cheating software is becoming easier to use and more readily available, the pressure is on Bram Cohen and BitTorrent Inc. to update the protocol to catch ratio “cheats".

Lol!

People that need to use cheat software just to maintain a 1:1 ratio are the problems with "sharing". Private sites want you to maintain a good ratio, 1:1, give back what you take.. If you are that much of a n00b that you cant even do that, you don't belong in Private Communities..

But the private communities are taking it a step further, if you get caught cheating your not only banned from one site, you are banned from 90% of sites. Enjoy!

C'mon.. for cryin out loud, don't exaggerate!! You speak more n00b by saying all users sign up with same email addresses and user names on all trackers... And guess what, I have a changing IP!!! You ban, I reset my router. Cool

Its been like that even before any software like GT came to earth!

I'm not exaggerating at all! lol You don't have to believe me, I could care less.

Congrats, keep making new accounts and keep changing your ip, majority of people don't.

Basically all you will end up doing is having torrent sites close down or lock their doors to "real" users.

In the end you will just be stuck with public sites anyways.. Enjoy.

Hey.. I'm not at all against seeding. I would've definitely seeded if there were plenty of bandwidth.. But buddy, its real hard to download a day, then seed the next four without downloading anything.. But what to do? ISPs are not giving a chance these days.. Sad

Then why not grab it off public sites? Why try to scam the users of private sites? What did they do to you that you feel you should scam them? Especially the uploaders waisting their bandwidth on YOU.
