RatioMaster is an application designed for spoofing uploads on BitTorrent trackers. It connects to a tracker and behaves like a normal BitTorrent client, but without actually uploading to / downloading from other peers in the swarm. It reports to the tracker that it’s uploading (or downloading or both, it’s your choice) at a certain rate, thus making it useful for artificially increasing your ratio on certain sites that track a user’s overall ratio (total uploaded/total downloaded).
RatioMaster has hardcoded emulations for the most commonly used BitTorrent clients, but it is also able to parse external files for emulation settings, thus making it easily extensible for your favorite client and easy to update when new versions of said clients are released. The client files (extension “.client”) are actually renamed XML files and the syntax should be pretty straight-forward. The emulation layer includes support for parameter order in GETs, reproduction of HTTP headers, generation of application-specific peer_ids and keys and more. RatioMaster can also parse the tracker reannounce time from the tracker’s HTTP response, and combined with the fact that you can specify down and up rates makes it pretty hard to detect by any anti-cheat scripts, if not downright impossible. Other features, like a TCP listener (so as to appear connectable on the tracker’s peerlist) and a leecher counter (so as to stop any uploads when a torrent has 0 leechers) also contribute to RatioMaster’s spoofing abilities.

BCG (Blackcats-games.net) is giving out invites in their IRC channel. You just have to impress them with a good joke. If you are are lucky you don’t even have to tell a joke.
Here is the quote from the BCG admin:
BCG is sort of having open signups.
We are taking new members in our IRCA few things to make clear first though
1: There is only a couple of staff doing this, so dont just sit there and think, nothing is happening and leave. also because there is only a couple of staff doing it, you may have to wait while.
2: you are supposed to tell us a joke and you will probably get in (not my idea).
3: make sure you have an email, that is not yahoo or hotmail and is less then 30 characters long, that includes the @whatever.com
4: You will be going on the staff members referral tree, so if you fuck up, the staff member will get punished as well, well as you can tell from that, if this happens we will not be happy, and you may find yourself banned from more than BCG.
5: You do get 15gig on your upload as soon as you join auto (this is only from a staff referral, if a user refers you, you only get 2 gig. But this does not mean you can hit and run, see point 6.
6: We work a hell of a lot different from other trackers, so if you have never been a member before, make sure you read the FAQ/Rules and the SP FAQ and i think thats about it (time for me to go to bed so i miss the hordes lol)

There are several client emulation options. mRatio like your BitTorrent client can add more than 1 torrent file and run simultaneously. You don’t need to run several instances of the application like ratio master. Easily spoof by selecting separate download and upload speed settings for each torrent file. mRatio works in most of the popular private BitTorrent trackers like TL, RevTT, What[cd], Waffles[fm], ScL, SCC, Bit-HDTV & more…
