Re: Anyway to fake an upload/download speed test?

Hello,

Please write your fake speed or upload increase percent and speed test site or program. We will check how we can help you.
If they ask for the speed test, they will see that your ip is not the speed test ip. You need to fake the speed test from your ip.
# Can I be banned?
You cannot be banned if you only use upload boost or "Seeder Mode" or "Emulate Upload Problems". Torrent trackers have no way of detecting these. If you use download boost, it will show that you are only downloading portions of files. It could look suspicious, but no one is banned for it at this time. Also, don't use the program all of the time. If your ratio is too high, it's not good. ;)
We've found that several Romanian, Russian, Indian, Chinese trackers can ban their users, if the upload increase is too high. For example, let's assume the maximum possible upload speed is 10MB/s in your country, and you are using 500% upload increase. Your speed will be 60MB/s, but admins know that there are no Internet Service Providers offering these speeds in your country. To avoid this problem, we recommend that you use "Seeder Mode", and no upload increase.

What's your upload speed? I will calculate the needed speed. It's (your_speed)*49.65.

OMG! I never thought if they asked for a speed test!! Especially a live one on IRC! So if this were to happen to another user(s) in the future would they be able to get the same help offered above? Didn't quite read between the lines...but I know it was somehow faked. I'd like to take precautions so the same cannot happen to me. I can also see why you wouldn't post the instructions on a forum. A simple google search and it would be revealed. Basically would you do the same for anyone else using your program?

If you contact us, we will give you tutorial to fake it. We cannot make this solution public to save it from tracker's admins :)

Please don't fake too high speed and you will never get such warning.
