First of all, what is Ratiomaster (RM)??Ratiomaster is an application designed to fool a tracker and making it believe you are uploading/downloading something.
Here are some screens which should help you configuring RM:
"Show baloon for tray icon" looks like this:
Memory Reader:
FAQI get this error message when i try to open RM: "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."
..You need .NET Framework 2.0 for RM to work. You can get it
hereCan I run 2 instances of RM?
..Yes, you can run as many as you like.
What is the Memory Reader?
..memory reader is a feature in RM (have a look at the advance tab), it allows RM to get the client details (peer_id,key,port) from your client and use them in RM. getting the same details syncs up RM and the client together.
When should I use the memory reader?
..If you want to run ratiomaster and your client simultaneously you should use the memory reader so RM and your client send the same peer_id and key to the tracker.
Memory Reader says "Process not found", what can I do?
..Start or stop the torrent and try again
Does RM use my real bandwidth?
..Yes and No, it connects to the tracker and sends an "announce", but thats only a few bytes. It will not use the bandwidth displayed in RM, that is all faked.
What is the difference between RatioMaker and RatioMaster?
..Ratiomaker is an older faking tool, the development is discontinued. RatioMaster is the newer and higher developed faking tool, if needed there will be updates.
In the log it says "failure reason:" is something wrong?
..If there is nothing behind it means there's no error and everything should be fine
I downloaded a file with Ratiomaster, but i can't find it.
..RM is a faking tool which fakes up-/download, it doesn't actually download or upload real data. Use a real client(utorrent/Azureus) to download a file.
