# RatioBooster > RatioBooster is a native macOS application for managing upload ratios on private torrent trackers. It is the modern alternative to RatioMaster, built specifically for macOS and Apple Silicon. ## About RatioBooster simulates realistic upload activity on private torrent trackers to help users maintain healthy ratios. Unlike legacy Windows-only tools like RatioMaster or RatioMaster.NET, RatioBooster is a native macOS app with an advanced stealth engine that mimics real BitTorrent client behavior (qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge). - Website: https://ratiobooster.com - Support: support.ratiobooster@proton.me - Price: €9.99 (one-time, lifetime license) - Platform: macOS only (Apple Silicon optimized) ## Key Features - **Native macOS Performance**: Built specifically for Apple Silicon processors with minimal CPU and memory usage. No Wine, no virtual machines, no compatibility layers needed. - **Universal Tracker Compatibility**: Works with 99% of private trackers, including those using strict anti-cheat systems. For niche trackers with unique rules, custom configuration guidance is available from the support team. - **Stealth Engine**: Reproduces natural network behavior through micro-variations, random shaping, and timing-based patterns. Avoids the detectable "flat line" behavior that legacy ratio tools are known for. - **Real Client Emulation**: Modern emulation of qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge with accurate peer communication, consistent traffic patterns, and realistic announce behavior. - **Evolving Protection**: Actively updated to follow tracker detection trends. Anti-detection improvements are continuously developed and shipped to all users. - **Secure Licensing**: Each purchase includes a lifetime license bound to a single machine. Licenses can be deactivated and moved to a new Mac at any time. - **Real-time Monitoring**: Live stats dashboard showing upload progress, tracker responses, and simulation status. - **Menu Bar Integration**: Runs discreetly from the macOS menu bar with a clean, fast, single-torrent interface. - **Lifetime Updates**: All updates — including major versions and anti-detection improvements — are included free of charge with the one-time purchase. ## Pricing RatioBooster Pro is available for a one-time payment of €9.99.

Many users have reported inconsistent behavior, detection risks, and compatibility problems with today's trackers. On macOS, the situation is worse: RatioMasterMac hasn't been maintained for years and no longer reflects how real BitTorrent clients behave. RatioBooster is the modern successor — a native macOS application that recreates the behavior of real torrent clients with accurate peer communication, consistent traffic patterns, and advanced stealth logic. It avoids the outdated simulation strategies used by older tools and focuses on long-term safety, believable traffic generation, and real-client emulation. ### Why users of RatioMaster switch to RatioBooster - Native macOS app (Apple Silicon optimized) - Modern emulation of qBittorrent, Transmission, and Deluge - Realistic announce behavior and adaptive upload simulation - Avoids the detectable patterns of legacy ratio tools - Clean, fast, single-torrent interface - Actively updated to follow tracker detection trends ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is RatioBooster? RatioBooster is a macOS-native tool designed to simulate safe upload activity on private torrent trackers. It helps users maintain healthy ratios without relying on outdated or Windows-only 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, the support team can provide custom configuration guidance. ### Is there a Windows version? No. RatioBooster is exclusively developed for macOS and optimized for Apple Silicon processors. Windows users typically rely on RatioMaster or other older tools. ### Do I need to keep my Mac awake? Yes, the Mac 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 reproduces 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. Users are unlikely to get banned when using reasonable presets that stay close to the stats of their torrent client. ### How does licensing work? Each purchase includes a lifetime license bound to a single machine. Users can deactivate their license at any time and move it to a new Mac if needed. ### Do updates cost extra? No. All updates — including major versions and anti-detection improvements — are included free of charge with the one-time purchase. ### I didn't receive my download link. What should I do? Check the spam folder first. If the email is missing, contact support at support.ratiobooster@proton.me for a resend of the secure download link. ### Can I request new features? Yes. Development is community-driven — feature ideas can be submitted by email, and the most requested ones are implemented in future updates. ## Pages - [Homepage](https://ratiobooster.com/): Main product page with features, pricing, and download. - [Download](https://ratiobooster.com/download): Download the latest version of RatioBooster. - [FAQ](https://ratiobooster.com/faq): Frequently asked questions about installation, safety, licensing, and troubleshooting. - [RatioMaster Mac Alternative](https://ratiobooster.com/ratiomaster-mac): Why RatioBooster replaces RatioMaster on macOS. - [Terms of Service](https://ratiobooster.com/terms): Legal terms of use. - [Privacy Policy](https://ratiobooster.com/privacy): Privacy and data handling policy. - [Page d'accueil (FR)](https://ratiobooster.com/fr/): Homepage in French. - [Telecharger (FR)](https://ratiobooster.com/fr/download): Download page in French.
