A lot of people like downloading from torrent sites because it's one of the most convenient method of downloading files. And it's also very fast. But there is a problem. A lot of torrent sites that require you to register check the upload/download ratio and if you only download and never seed the downloaded files, your account on that site could be suspended or deleted permanently. Every Internet Service Provider provides a lower speed for uploading, than downloading, so achieving a good ratio between download and upload seems like something impossible or very difficult to obtain. But fortunately, there is a solution to this problem and that's the software GreedyTorrent. Practically, it's a program that reports different upload results to torrent trackers.

The application is easy to install and can run without problems on older computers having any version of Microsoft Windows installed. No toolbars or adware are added into the system during the installation process.

The interface of GreedyTorrent is very simple and features an option for multiplying the amount of downloaded data and reported as uploaded data, meaning that for every file downloaded, the uploaded traffic will be bigger. The user should be careful about exaggerating with this options because some torrent sites can check the presence of this software and, thus, can ban the user permanently for using it. That's why the user must still seed the torrents so that all of them that he downloads have a different upload value.

Besides multiplying the download traffic, the program allows multiplying the uploaded traffic, for example for every 1 MB of data uploaded, the program will report a much bigger value. The preferences tab of GreedyTorrent allows setting the listening port and the possibility to start together with Windows.

Beginners who don't have a clear idea about what this software does or about torrents in general shouldn't worry about this, because the program features a comprehensive help system available online, on the producer's web site. The software can be minimized into the task bar and should be left open while downloading or uploading torrents using the preferred BitTorrent client.

Pros

It's efficient for quickly raising the upload/download ratio and it's compatible with most of the torrent sites. Also, beginners won't have trouble using the program because it features a very simple interface and also a comprehensive help system.

Cons

The software can be detected by some torrent sites, resulting in a permanent banning of the user. GreedyTorrent is a great program for quickly and easily improving the download/upload ratio for most of the torrent sites available.
