Hi, I was wondering how they do this and if there is a way to “cheat” the amount of data you are downloading or seeding.
minus-squareonescomplement@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-21 year agoThere’s no point in cheating. Any good private tracker will let maintain a sizeable buffer assuming you seed with things like bonus points/free leech. If it’s difficult to maintain a buffer, plan to move to a different tracker that will. Plus, the big private trackers communicate with one another. Get caught in one, you’ll be found out in others.
