RatioUp
When I was downloading on YGG torrent (a French semi-private tracker now closed), there was always the problem of a high ratio to maintain. Without a seedbox it is hard to seed. Also I did not want to have my PC up 24/7 just to seed due to noise and power consumption.
- There was RatioMaster but for Windows only
- JOAL but written in Java, so not RAM friendly and heavy on my old Helios 4 NAS
That is why I made this ratio faking tool in Rust. It simulates upload announces to trackers without actually transferring data.
