Since the PT-Protocol have its inner pitfalls, the tracker server relys on the client of peer's feedback of the traffic (eg. upload/download), it's obvious that you can send a packet to cheat the server with fake upload trafffic.

This tool aims to increase your upload traffic of your PT account, using your .torrent file downloaded from some PT website. For the reson that the tracker always check the request parameter simply to prevent cheats from peer client. The PT-Cracker send the packet every interval seconds, additionally, the upload rate is between maxRate and minRate. That is, a randomRate in the range is chosen, and upload traffic finally comes up to interval * randomRate. In conclusion, PT-Cracker is difficult to be inspected by tracker.

1. Download the jar file from release page on Github.

2. Download the torrent file from PT website.

3. Modify the torrentsDir item in config file.

4. Usage:

   java -cp <DOWNLOADED_JAR.jar> me.carpela.network.pt.cracker.main.Main [config_file]

Note that JRE-1.7 or above is required.

Or:

git clone https://github.com/hoverwinter/ptcracker ptcracker

and export to some IDE or use maven to fit your need.

CLI argument config_file is optional, if not specified, it will find the ptcracker.config in your current directory.

Default torrentsDir is torrents subdirectory in your current directory.

Also, logs will be printed on STDOUT and ptcracker.log in your current directory.

The PT-Cracker send the data at a rate between maxRate and minRate (KB/s) every interval seconds. And total upload traffic is cheated at each execution. You should put your downloaded .torrent file from a PT website at torrentsDir. If there is more than 10 files, only 10 are selected throgh a shuffle stage.

• maxRate: maximum upload rate, default 10240 KB/s
• minRate: minimum upload rate, default 1024 KB/s
• interval: working frequency, default 30s
• total: total upload traffic, default 4096MB
• torrentsDir: directory that saves the .torrent files, default ./torrents/

*** Notice: subdirectories are supported in torrentsDir. ***

You're not supposed to rely on PT-Cracker, it's recommended that opening a BT client and share your data on your disk.

It's possible to fix this pitfall by confirming upload traffic from other clients in the peers.
