You have a unique “passkey” in the torrent that you download, and the tracker won’t let you connect without it. I wouldn’t try to cheat it, or you’ll likely end up banned. Trackers have scripts to detect tampering.
Not to mention its not a huge scene. If you get black-listed, you might have a hell of a time getting back in to decent trackers if the admins share info on known blacklisters

The passkey is also why you shouldn’t share torrent files.
Wait, you mean the *.torrent file, right?
Yes! Private sites’ .torrent and magnet links know who you are so they can track your ratio.
Alright, for a moment I thought you meant the actual files I download
That wouldn’t make sense tho
My fault. Sorry for the panic!
