Will seeding the same torrent with two different clients mess anything up?

I know this is kinda strange...but I am switching clients from utorrent to Deluge as a trial, just for my Bakabt files (no matter what I do, my uploading rates with utorrent are a fraction of my friends' even though we are using the same client and same private trackers) but at some point I might accidentally be seeding the same file with both torrent clients.  e.g. I am seeding music files with utorrent but there might be some anime still in there too. I was wondering if this happens,  is it akin to cheating or anything bad that will affect my account? I don't plan on seeding the same bakabt files with two clients but it might happen a couple of times. I thought I would avoid captain hindsight syndrome and ask here :) Cheers

Al_Sleeper:
There is a chance you'll be autobanned.

Tiffanys:
Uh... Maybe your friend has better internet than you do.

And yes, you would be banned most likely.

pityrules:
Nope we are on the same connection too :) I am jealous of his upload rates as I introduced him to this site. I think it has to do with me trying to manage 2000 or so active torrents at a time, although I thought I read posts here where people claimed to have thousands of active torrents with no trouble. Maybe they were just bragging though, or have better computers, or something. 

Thanks for answering, I will be diligent about the transfer then. I am glad I asked!

Tiffanys:
You could have your torrent client set up to only accept a certain number of connections, or he may have a better router that allows more connections. Though the prior seems more likely. Heck, you could even have your client throttled.
