Ratio Master Alternative: Best Torrent Ratio Booster

Looking for a RatioMaster alternative? Many private torrent trackers actively detect and ban RatioMaster users, making it risky.

If you need a safer way to boost your upload ratio, there are other tools available. Some modify reported stats, while others emulate seeding without real uploads.

Here are the best RatioMaster alternatives and how they work.

1. mRatio (Emulation Software)

One of the current and up-to-date emulation tools that works today is mRatio. It is a free and easy-to-use BitTorrent emulator where it simply loads a torrent file and then simulates the downloading and uploading.

It’s also sending the data to the tracker ignoring the amount of seeders and leechers. No files will be downloaded nor uploaded and it does not use up any of your bandwidth.

As a test, we signed up a private BitTorrent tracker website and used mRatio to increase our upload ratio.

After running it for a few minutes, stopping the download, and refreshing the profile page shows a positive ratio even though I did not upload any physical file to anyone.

Using mRatio is easy. Download, extract the RAR file, and run mRatio.exe file.

Click the Add Torrent Wizard button located at the left pane of the program and follow the wizard instructions which is loading the torrent file that you want to cheat, select the client emulation, setting the maximum upload and download speed, proxy, and start cheating.

Although it is easy to cheat the tracker and increase your upload ratio using mRatio, it can however be easily detected as well.

mRatio continues to send reports to the tracker and what the tracker administrator can do to detect the cheating is to stop giving real peers to the cheater for a few hours.

When they still receive reports after stop sending peers to the cheater, it is a definite sign that this user is using an emulator to increase their upload ratio.

Another thing to take note is this public version of mRatio does not come with the latest client files. Some tracker sites allow the member to only use the latest version of selected BitTorrent client. Using an older build or an unapproved version would cause the account to be banned. You can however request for the previous build in the mRatio forum.

2. Torrent Ratio Keeper (Plugin-Based)

Another safer method to increase upload and decrease download ratio is by using Torrent Ratio Keeper. The method used by this tool is actually very similar to GreedyTorrent which wasn’t updated after the release of first beta in 2007.

Basically what it does is it acts as a BitTorrent client plugin and modify the upload or download transfer rate where the BitTorrent client will then report the data to the tracker.

If the admin suspects the user of cheating and stop sending peers, the plugin would also cease to work and there is no sign of cheating.

Torrent Ratio Keeper is very easy to use and works right out of the box. All you need to do is install the program and run it which will automatically detect and add active trackers to the list.

There is no need to configure your BitTorrent client to use the local host proxy and etc.

The only requirement to increase the upload ratio with Torrent Ratio Keeper is you need to seed the file.

For example, if you uploaded 2GB of files, Torrent Ratio Keeper will report an additional 75% (depending on the version) of the total amount uploaded, making it 3.5GB.

This way, you will need to only seed 25% in order to achieve a balanced 1:1 ratio, saving both time and bandwidth.

So if you downloaded a file from BitTorrent and there are no leechers for the file, there won’t be much hope in increasing your upload ratio with that file.

Unfortunately, Torrent Ratio Keeper is a shareware and it comes in 3 versions.

Each version has a different upload limit, statistics, and expert options. If you’re serious about keeping your account in good standing for the long term and not willing to seed, Torrent Ratio Keeper is definitely a good investment.

Final Thoughts

While ratio cheating tools exist, they come with risks. Private trackers actively detect and ban cheaters. A safer alternative is seeding consistently or using a seedbox to maintain a good ratio legitimately.
