Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about installation, safety, performance and licensing.

What is RatioBooster?

RatioBooster is a modern native tool for macOS & Windows designed to simulate safe upload activity on private torrent trackers. It helps users maintain healthy ratios without relying on outdated tools like RatioMaster.

Is RatioBooster safe for private trackers?

Yes. RatioBooster uses an advanced stealth engine that mimics real client behavior (qBittorrent / Transmission). It avoids detectable patterns such as unrealistic speed bursts, inconsistent announces, or invalid peer IDs.

Does it work with all private trackers?

RatioBooster is compatible with 99% of private trackers, including those using strict anti-cheat systems. For very niche trackers with unique rules, our support team can provide custom configuration guidance.

Is there a Windows version?

Yes. RatioBooster has native apps for both macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Windows (64-bit), sharing the same advanced stealth engine.

Do I need to keep my computer awake?

Yes, your computer needs to remain powered and connected to the Internet while RatioBooster runs. Sleep mode will pause the simulation.

How realistic is the upload simulation?

The upload engine is designed to reproduce natural network behavior through micro-variations, random shaping, and timing-based patterns. This avoids the “flat line” behavior that legacy tools are known for.

Can my account get banned?

No tool can guarantee a 0% risk, but RatioBooster is engineered to minimize every detectable pattern. You are very unlikely to get banned if you use sensible presets (i.e. don't push 1 TB per second - try to stay close to the realistic stats of your torrent client).

How does licensing work?

Each purchase includes a lifetime license bound to a single machine. You can deactivate your license at any time and move it to a new device if needed.

Do updates cost extra?

No. All updates - including major versions and anti-detection improvements - are included free of charge with your one-time purchase.

Should I choose RatioBooster or RatioBooster Plus?

Both boost your ratio, but they fit different setups. RatioBooster only handles your ratio and works next to the torrent client you already have. RatioBooster Plus is a full torrent client for macOS and Windows with ratio boosting and stealth built in, so you run one app instead of two.

Does RatioBooster Plus replace my torrent client?

Yes. RatioBooster Plus is a complete torrent client you can download and seed with like any other, with the ratio features included on top - full details on the RatioBooster Plus page. The classic RatioBooster utility instead runs alongside the client you already use.

I didn’t receive my download link. What should I do?

Check your spam folder first. If the email is missing, contact us at support.ratiobooster@proton.me and we will resend your secure download link. The app itself can always be downloaded from the download page - only your license key arrives by email.

Can I request new features?

Absolutely. Our development is community-driven - you can submit feature ideas by email, and the most requested ones are implemented in future updates.

What is the difference between RatioBooster and RatioMaster?

RatioMaster and RatioMaster.NET are the original tools, but they haven't been meaningfully updated since 2016 and have no real native macOS build. RatioBooster is the modern successor: native apps for both macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) and Windows, a modern stealth engine, and active maintenance in 2026. See our RatioMaster alternative comparison.

Why is RatioMaster not working anymore?

RatioMaster.NET is unsigned and years out of date, so modern Windows 11 security often blocks it, and on macOS it depends on Mono or a VM that frequently fails on Apple Silicon. RatioBooster is a maintained, native replacement that installs and runs without compatibility layers - more on why RatioMaster stops working.

Does RatioBooster work on Apple Silicon Macs?

Yes. RatioBooster ships as a native macOS app that runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later) - no Rosetta, no Mono, no Wine. It requires macOS 12 Monterey or later.
