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.

The passkey is also why you shouldn’t share torrent files.

Wait, you mean the *.torrent file, right?

Yes! Private sites’ .torrent and magnet links know who you are so they can track your ratio.

Alright, for a moment I thought you meant the actual files I download

That wouldn't make sense tho
