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.

    It’s possible but eventually you will get banned I remember a torrent client that let me multiply my seeding by 100 I did use it back when file list was a thing.

    That said I can’t ever remember seeing anything similar since.

      There is no reason that this should be possible on a private tracker. Public trackers, yes. Private ones need user authentication to let you download anything so it’s trivial to track the ratio at the same time.
