Torrent Ratio Keeper F.A.Q.
- 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. - Does your program collect information about torrents?
No. Torrent Ratio Keeper doesn't save any information about active or inactive torrents. - What if I'm using a different torrent client?
Feel free to contact us and provide information about your torrent client. We can discuss the support for your favorite torrent client. - Can I open or close the program while my torrent client is working?
We recommend you to launch Torrent Ratio Keeper before running your torrent client and turn off after closing the client. It will save your tracker's account from speed changes. Many torrent trackers detect cheating by monitoring users' upload speed. - I set Increase Uploaded Traffic value to 500% and it shows only 320%. Why?
Our program tries to use your settings. To avoid suspicious activity on torrent trackers, it chooses the best suitable values, based on your settings. You can turn on Disable the Smart Traffic Multiplier on Expert Settings (Advanced tab) for the trackers, if you want to get exact multiplied values. - I cannot download anything from tracker when Seeder Mode is on.
Tracker sees your Torrent Client as a seeder because the torrent client doesn't send any reports about downloaded files. A few torrent trackers don't give seeds for the seeders. If Seeder Mode is on you will have low download speed or no downloading at all on these trackers. - Can I change expert settings while leeching or seeding?
We recommend to setup expert settings before running your torrent client or at least before adding the torrent with new tracker. It will save your tracker's account from speed changes. Many torrent trackers detect cheating by monitoring users' upload speed. - How often does the statistics update?
It depends on how often the torrent client sends it's reports to the torrent tracker. Usually this happens every 5-20 minutes. - How can I run TRK on Windows Vista or Windows 7?
You'll need to run TRK as Administrator (right click->Run as Administrator). If it didn't help, try to run TRK and your torrent client as Administrator. - TRK installs by default to:
"C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Torrent Ratio Keeper\" ,
and forced installation to "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" makes TRK non-workable with any version of the uTorrent. Why does it happen?
If Windows UAC is on (default Vista/7 settings), the "Program Files" folder is virtual. It doesn't allow the app to self-update. Actually, you can install TRK to any folder except virtual folders (Windows, Program Files). - Is there a version for Linux or MacOS?
Yes. We have Linux/MacOS/*BSD versions for Leecher and Monster editions. - How can I change Torrent Ratio Keeper skin?
You can download the version with a fancy interface or an old fashion classic interface. It's all your own choice, there's no difference in functionality. Check out both available interfaces. - What payment methods do you support?
We accept Credit Card, PayPal, Wire Transfer, Check, Phone/SMS, Fax, WebMoney and Yandex.Dengi. - How long can I use Trial version?
The trial version works for 20 days from it's first start. - Recently i purchased the program and today it shows me that the "Trial period is over". I tried to enter my license key, but the program keeps saying: "License key is wrong".
