This screws up the ul / dl ratio data that bakabt needs to update your stats. But in PLDT's end this will improve *their* network efficiency.
using a proxy will only *tell* bakabt that you are not using a proxy though I think you are still going through PLDT's proxy server, this may help w/ the uploads but will not help your ratio.
and using a proxy server is also a security risk if you are using it w/ your home connection.
from what I know it could be like this.
**You connecting to BakaBt w/o proxy --> PLDT Filter [going to BakaBt?! go here] --> PLDT Torrent User Proxy Server [modify packet] --> BakaBt [unable to update ratio due to packet modification]
**You connecting to BakaBt w/ proxy --> PLDT Filter [going to BakaBt?! go here] --> PLDT Torrent User Proxy Server [modify packet] --> External Proxy [modify modified packet] --> BakaBt [unable to update ratio due to packet modification]
**You connecting to Google --> PLDT Filter [going to Google? go here] --> PLDT Normal Proxy Server --> Google
In my opinion there can be 5 options,
* BakaBt exempts philippine users or users w/ ISP proxy issues from the "one ip multiple key rule" and changes the BakaBt Network settings so that the ul/dl ratio are updated.
* The Https option.
* An alternate tracker w/ a different ip address / different domain for philippine users or users w/ ISP proxy issues. Since a different ip address / domain will not be included on their filter list so it will not go through their "torrent user proxy server". It will then take them some time to track where the large amount of uploads are coming from before adding the domain to their filter list.
* Switch over to a Business Account/Plan so that your connection won't go to their proxy.
* Somebody h**k their server and change the proxy server settings.

This one sounds the best but most unlikely too.

makes a lot of sense for them to do it, but why just bakabt? aren't there bigger fishes around?

probable, but impossible. It might work (will definitely do more than just correcting the Dl/Ul ratio) but it might be very impractical cuz you'll gonna be dealing with a big corporation with heavy stuff. PLDT is a telephone, cellphone, and multimedia company. Destrying them and you get big news in PH... (just for a Dl/Ul fix in BakaBT)
