Well that's all the discussion about it..You don't promote it be telling it here. You say it exists and if you were a site admin or such and you'd read about it, you could arm yourself against it, because now you know. If we keep such things as -secrets- there would be a lot more of abuse.

You took it wrong dude... I meant why Filesharefreak promotes these kinda things...

People who are going to ratio cheat are going to find out about this new method. It is better to make people aware of this issue so that it can be fixed. This is the same method approached towards computer security and it seems to be working fine. Keeping things hidden only makes us complacent.

Perhaps, but like AfterMidnight stated with the example of the now-banned what.cd leech - it's one more gone.

To reply, I usually read filesharingfreak with my morning java and this morning was no exception. This article had me self-debating the very issue raised here as I read it, and I came away from it thinking 'good on Sharky' for posting it. To paraphrase another, the ignored reality of something doesn't negate any consequence of its existence. Timely post, AfterMidnight - I had contemplated my first-ever thread on this topic! :)

again this discussion depends how a person interpret the information ,
but i strongly believe that most ppl didnt knw about this , and after posting on their webpage , which is very popular among torrenters , spreads the word about cheating , most ppl think its easy way , and let me remind u human mind always tends to lean towards lazyness/less work more/better productivity .
hence i believe filesharefreak helped others to cheat even though they didnt want to .

FileShareFreak "promotes" these things so the sys ops will read it and find out how it works and block it. By discovering the ways in which people cheat you can effectively reduce the amount of cheating that goes on at a torrent site. The best way to secure a computer or a network is to find out how to break into it and then find a way to stop the break-in from happening. This is known as ethical hacking. So securing a computer network or preventing cheaters on a torrent site the logic is the same.

I don't understand people's need to ratio steal in the first place. You're already pirating rights-managed material... Getting something for free that you would otherwise have to pay for... How hard is it to leave your computer on for a couple of days, seed what you leeched, and give back what you took?! Seriously! It's not like it requires effort to seed something. Turn on your computer. Start your BitTorrent client. Walk away. Do something else.

I'm pretty sure these scammers and cheaters only come up with these dishonest schemes simply to get some satisfaction out of thinking that they're better or smarter than everyone else. I don't get it. I get satisfaction out of knowing I'm giving back. Maybe I'm the weird one...

any all you lazy arse cheaters your the one who are messing up the tracker scene by your cheating we all have to give back what ever we take to keep our beloved sites alive so fix up and all cheater return to the slums of public trackers we dont want u on our sites.AND yes i fell that we need to no these things so mods and owners can put steps in place to stop ratio cheating,spoofing what ever it is called
