@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ Ratio-spoof is a cross-platform, free and open source tool to spoof the download
Here in Brazil, not everybody has a great upload speed, and most private trackers require a ratio greater than or equal to 1. For example, if you downloaded 1GB, you must also upload 1GB in order to survive. Additionally, I have always been fascinated by the BitTorrent protocol. In fact, [I even made a BitTorrent web client to learn more about it](https://github.com/ap-pauloafonso/rwTorrent). So, if you have a bad internet connection, feel free to use this tool. Otherwise, please consider seeding the files with a real torrent client.
## How does it work?
![Diagram](./assets/how-it-works.png)
Bittorrent protocol works in such a way that there is no way that a tracker knows how much certain peer have downloaded or uploaded, so the tracker depends on the peer itself telling the amounts.
Ratio-spoof acts like a normal bittorrent client but without downloading or uploading anything, in fact it just tricks the tracker pretending that.
