peer-to-peer

I just want to know whether this is a flaw or not in Bittorrent system.

Let us assume that I am member of a Private Torrent site which requires me to maintain a specific upload to download ratio.

Will this work:

I create a torrent of a large file say [ Fedora Linux ~ 4 GB ] and upload it to the tracker
I download the same torrent using my ID and start it on another machine on LAN or a Virtual machine
Both clients have Local Peer Discovery enabled, so they will find 'em [ not via DHT ] and start x'ferring data using LAN bandwidth at LAN speeds.
Though both uploads and downloads will increase, my ratio will also increase
If I reiterate the entire process 'n' times, the numerator in the "RATIO" i.e Upload will become so large that the effect of downloads on ratio will become less.

I want to know whether this is legitimate???

Off late, I am seeing a number of IP addresses starting with 10.x.x.x in my bittorrent peer list. Aren't these IP addresses supposed to be private ones? I don't understand how I am able to see the IP address instead of the WAN (external IP) of the client... Any one knows why? >>> More
