# ratio-spoof
|
|
Ratio-spoof is a cross-platform, free and open source tool to spoof the download/upload amount on private bittorrent trackers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Motivation
|
|
Here in brazil, not everybody has a great upload speed, and most of the private trackers requires a ratio to be greater than or equal to 1 (e.g. if you downloaded 1gb you must upload 1gb as well) in order to survive. Plus, i have always been fascinated by the bittorrent protocol, [i even made a bittorrent webclient to learn a bit about it ](https://github.com/ap-pauloafonso/rwTorrent) so with the current global covid-19 lockdown i got some free time and decided to code my own simple cli tool to spoof bittorrent trackers.
|

|
|
## How does it works?
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```
|
|
usage:
|
|
./ratio-spoof -t <TORRENT_PATH> -d <INITIAL_DOWNLOADED> -ds <DOWNLOAD_SPEED> -u <INITIAL_UPLOADED> -us <UPLOAD_SPEED>
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h show this help message and exit
|
|
-p [PORT] change the port number, the default is 8999
|
|
|
|
required arguments:
|
|
-t <TORRENT_PATH>
|
|
-d <INITIAL_DOWNLOADED>
|
|
-ds <DOWNLOAD_SPEED>
|
|
-u <INITIAL_UPLOADED>
|
|
-us <UPLOAD_SPEED>
|
|
|
|
<INITIAL_DOWNLOADED> and <INITIAL_UPLOADED> must be in %, b, kb, mb, gb, tb
|
|
<DOWNLOAD_SPEED> and <UPLOAD_SPEED> must be in kbps, mbps
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./ratio-spoof -d 90% -ds 100kbps -u 0% -us 1024kbps -t (torrentfile_path)
|
|
```
|
|
* Will start "downloading" with the initial value of 90% of the torrent total size at 100 kbps speed until it reaches 100% mark.
|
|
* Will start "uploading" with the initial value of 0% of the torrent total size at 1024kbps (aka 1mb/s) indefinitely.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./ratio-spoof -d 2gb -ds 500kbps -u 1gb -us 1024kbps -t (torrentfile_path)
|
|
```
|
|
* Will start "downloading" with the initial value of 2gb downloaded if possible at 500kbps speed until it reaches 100% mark.
|
|
* Will start "uploading" with the initial value of 1gb uplodead at 1024kbps (aka 1mb/s) indefinitely.

## Will i get caught using it ?
|
|
Depends wether you use it carefuly, Its a hard task to catch cheaters, but if you start uploading crazy amounts out of nowhere or seeding something with no active leecher on the swarm you may be in risk.
