While I don't agree that the tracker is malicious, I can confirm that it's returning non-correct values for seeds/peers/downloaded.

@Xarcotic, they are intentionally returning those values. Returning those incorrect values causes harm to the operation of my software. The tracker is intentionally causing harm, so, yes, it is malicious.
