To the dude who got banned because they were "boosting" their upload speed, don't feel bad. I don't know if the staff there knows how to tell a legitimate big uploader from someone who is boosting.
I own a seedbox, so I thought I'd use it to build ratio. Legit way to do it, it's actual speed, and it helps any site out. So, had one of their torrents already and began to upload and also grabbed a Wii game. Over the next 24 hours, I uploaded about 200 GB worth of stuff on only 4GB of download. And yet, the next morning, my IP was banned and my account was disabled. Sucks, huh?
I would love to get a hold of someone on staff because I don't mind sharing the seedbox info that I use and proving that it was legitimate upload, not anything fake, but who knows where to find an actual staffer outside of the site, because all of their "help" options require a login. You can't get help when your account gets disabled. :)
Anyways, hopefully I can get back on there, but it seems counterproductive if they're chasing away people who are willing to be very big upload contributors.

hmm, the thread that wouldn't die. Some doubters might want to consider the validity of some of the pleas posted here. ILT should consider that they may be doing exactly as phx12 posted "I don't know if the staff there knows how to tell a legitimate big uploader from someone who is boosting."
I was banned quite a long time ago now, after downloading a torrent file from ILT and helping to seed the data rather than leeching it from ILT initially increasing both their speed and my ratio. Evil huh?
The point is this issue just keeps popping it's head back above water, and the site would really, genuinely improve if better consideration were given to it's users. Could this be due validity of the complaints? Bans on most other sites don't seem to draw the attention and passion for both sides of the arguement that this particular site does. It's like an iron fist of ignorance to some, and to the uneffected it appears as tight security and wise discretion (until it happens to them).
It's sad to see the situation over there has still not improved.

Well, and I get some of the things they may be worried about. I get that probably 99 out of 100 of these such requests are not legit, are people who want something for nothing and who might be boosting. I'm not naive, I get that this is a majority of the stuff. I get that they feel like they have to keep their security tight. All of that makes total sense, but there's no room for common sense seemingly and ZERO way to get a hold of anyone.
* The e-mail address on that ban page, forbidden at ilovetorrents.com? Worse than just bouncing, it fails to properly relay the message, leaving it in limbo for 24 hours before it even tells you it didn't get there. So, this address is bunk.
* The pages you can see (from another IP address) talk about a support area in IRC, irc dot ilovetorrents.com. Connections there are refused, and I've tried from multiple locales, so it's not a case of IP's being banned from the IRC world, their server just doesn't function. I get that this is probably the most safe method for communication because it's more underground, but they pimp it in the FAQ and it's just not running.
I do not feel it would be right to come on another forum or another thread and discuss the problems without trying to make a good faith effort to get a hold of them first and say "hey, this is legit, I will show you!", but there just doesn't appear to be a way to do that.
I don't even want to know or care how they choose to ban someone, but if their own promised methods of communication worked, a lot of these forum posts probably would never even need to exist.

When i got banned from ilovetorrents, it appeared that my static ip got banned, so i found a way to change my static ip without calling comcast to change it.
1. you need a wireless router
2. get a lap-top to connect to the router
3. log-in to the router and find something like "MAC Address Clone" (linksys router)
What this option dose is it takes your laptops "nic" mac address and replaces the mac address from the routers saved mac address to register the address to your ISP.???
Now you have to understand that your ISP registers a specific static ip address to a unique mac address, so if you change that mac address then the ISP is force to change your static ip address.
4. (in the linksys router) make sure the option to clone your mac address is enabled, and click the "Clone your PC's MAC" then restart your computer.
This method worked for me, and i was able to go back on ilovetorrets and download again, but this time i did not donate. Hope this worked for you.
Some ISP's will not change your address, but comcast sure will, tell me if it worked.

An IP address won't help you much when the account is disabled too. :)
