Agrippa, it's mostly private member trackers such as Demonoid and Piratebay that really track your ratio. I don't really worry about public trackers as anyone trying to track usage ratios through them would get very inaccurate readings due to the fact that users IP addresses tend to change a lot. If you find that your IP doesn't change often, try powering your modem off and on and you will usually get a new address. That always works with Sympatico, don't know about Videotron as I don't know anyone who uses it and my business clients that do all have static addresses.
If you go to the sites I posted, you don't have to worry about your ratio at all. When you check the comments for most posts, you will often find posters posting links to rapidshare and other file sharing methods to get your download.
I'm lucky to be one of the last remaining sympatico subscribers with unlimited bandwidth so I don't worry about my data transfer. That's the only reason I'm still with them, especially now that they are strangling torrent bandwidth between 6PM and 2AM. Downloads are capped at around 30KB so I usually download overnight as my system is never turned off.
