Gtorrent (Greedy Torrent)

Well here is first survival program for a leech: Greedy Torrent

GreedyTorrent has the following features:

• GreedyTorrent is set-once-and-forget type software. No need of configuring it each time you queue a torrent file to download.
• No complicated options to configure. The default installation of GreedyTorrent is configured to provide you five times actual upload, enough for the survival of a normal ADSL user. There is no need to manually find the hash values or to set tracker URLs, it takes care of them automatically. GreedyTorrent was developed with the beginner user in mind, with an easy to use interface.
• GreedyTorrent generates no additional traffic. It does not run or emulate an "extra torrent client", and thus does not waste your precious bandwidth.
• You can continue to use your favorite BitTorrent client, no need to switch to another BitTorrent client to use GreedyTorrent.

How does it work?

GreedyTorrent is implemented as a proxy for BitTorrent tracker protocol. It, once installed, sits in the system tray and waits for the BitTorrent client to make a request to the tracker. Once the BitTorrent client is connected and attempts to report the uploaded quantity, GreedyTorrent modifies the upload ratio to report according to your preferences.

GreedyTorrent allows you to be in control of your upload ratio. You can set it as a multiple of either your download or upload. For example, to maintain a 1:1 ratio for a poor uploader, a multiple of 1 times the actual download would be enough. This has the advantage that the torrent file you download always maintains 1:1 ratio, no matter how poor your actual upload is. Suppose you have a fair upload speed and you just want to double your upload ratio. You can select a multiple of 2 times the upload.
