Torrent sites are becoming more and more popular and more torrent sites are launched on a regular basis. These torrent sites offer music, videos, photos, software, documents, basically any type of content. It's much more convenient to download files from torrent sites than from FTP or HTTP websites. That's because torrents get downloads much faster, as they can use the full bandwidth of your Internet connection. Not to mention the fact that downloads can be paused and resumed at any moment, without having to worry about data corruption or uncompleted downloads. But with all these features, also come some problems.

Most torrent sites require the user to maintain a certain download/upload ratio, usually higher than 1. Otherwise, their accounts could be restricted or deleted forever. It's difficult to maintain an optimal ratio because most Internet providers offer a much lower speed for uploading than for downloading. That means that a downloaded torrent should be seeded for a long period of time. Users can keep their computers running for accomplishing this or they can use Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic.

You can understand what the program does just by reading its name, which is intuitive. The program's functionality is simple. To be more precise, Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic allows raising the upload bandwidth by 75%. This means that every 1 MB uploaded will be reported by the torrent tracker as actually 1.75 MB of data. This means that the download/upload ratio will increase much faster and the computer won't need to stay on for such a long time.

There is not much to say about the program's interface. It's a run and forget kind of interface. That means that there are no configuration options to worry about. You just have to run the software prior to launching your favorite torrent client. Doing so will make Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic able to automatically detect all the active torrents, while running in the background. At this point, one can use his torrents like he would normally do, but he can soon realize that his upload data is reported differently by the tracker.

Keep in mind that some trackers can detect such applications and may ban your account for using them. As such, the software should be used with moderation.

Pros

It can increase the download/upload ratio for any torrent tracker, by reporting differently the uploaded amount of data. Besides that, it doesn't need any configuring, it just needs to run in the background.

Cons

Some trackers can detect the use of this program and can ban the account forever. Torrent Ratio Keeper Basic is a solution for improving the download/upload ratio for any torrent site.
