If I download a .torrent file from private trackers and send that file to another computer, will it be able to download/upload with my account? What I am trying to do is, I use my account to get the .torrent file and then send it to my friend so that he can download/upload with my account without actually getting the username and password. Is this possible?
Using on different PC?

Yes that can be done. But the UL/DL bits will hit your user account on the PT. All that the .torrent has which is tied to your account: Is the hash key that is generated when you sign - up. Though, you should be careful, because if he passes it on, and people FL, you can get warnings/bans for not maintaining a contention ratio.

Unless you are 100% sure that your friend will not pass on the file to anybody else, don't do it. Some trackers use a simple key in the torrent file, so if your friend gets access to the site, he can download from them and change the key in the .torrent file to reflect that of yours. Then all the UL/DL will get reflected in your account. Its best if you do not share the file.
Firstly this is cheating, secondly u can be banned. I am a staff on a torrent tracker, no names and this is by far cheating. You are logging into account on a diff ip and then leeching/seeding on a diff ip. Don't for a moment think staff on trackers are fools. If you were on the tracker i am staff on, i'il definitely ban u and make sure i also scene ban u for this.
If you have 2 pc's at home and do so, yes its rightly allowed to do but what you are doing here is very wrong, do take my suggestion and put an end to it, its good for u, coz once banned on a private tracker, there is no way and i mean no way u will every get back in there again.

I don't understand, how is this cheating. Plus, that is not my motive for sure.
I am just saying, that my friend downloads the torrent from that tracker without I having to give my username and pass. I am not trying to, you know download without being reflected in my account. It's downloading and uploading with the my proper account. Plus, it'll not be downloading simultaneously. Only my friend will be downloading and not me.
I was just trying to avoid giving my account details while following the rules as stated.

thing is
Every .torrent you Download is bound to your account by means of a passkey
this passkey identifies you to the tracker
Sample passkey
if you enable your friend to use the tracker by supplying him the .torrent the tracker staff may suspect it as account sharing/trading
now here's what i would do
i would tell the tracker staff that i live away from home
i have a small server at the basement of my home running 24x7
and i have set up a remote web interface to access my server (or remote-uTorrent to be specific) and send the torrent files via net
so now, you have a credible excuse to be using 2 different connections
the tracker staff will most likely hear you and attach a note to your account allowing two different IP address/range(depending on static/dynamic IP) to access the account
case closed
BTW if you have invites to that specific tracker, you can invite the friend of yours to avoid all this trouble
@VishalK
about the scene ban , what scene ban?
the scene isn't even organised
even the tracker ban won't be done, well not unless the mod/sysop prefers being a very unreasonable guy with limited or none brain functions

I think we are making mountains out of mole hills here.
I have tried to sign-up on various trackers and was given the notification that my IP is all ready in use. Reason being: They had picked the OCTET range for my IP and banned it or either it had been used before. Example Airtel/BSNL. I used my Tata Photon+ to register on most trackers -- which incidentally creates a new IP on each log in. After my account creation I was able to:
1. Log in using my normal connection LAN with fixed IP (which was denied account creation initially) and DL .torrents.
2. DL/UL using the same on my utorrent client -- and have the bits register against my account; i.e. my passkey ; i.e. my registered IP.
3. Also do (1) and (2) using my Tata Photon + dynamic IP.
4. Be able to do all of the above using 3 independent systems at home.
Now what is wrong here..? It quite well proves the theory that we can use multiple IPs on trackers. As a personal note: I never give out .torrent files to people cause I do not trust them to maintain ratios. Though one can get jacked if they supposedly UL the .torrent to btjunke or another PT, since the embedded hash key can point to the user account.
@Vishal:
Let us not speak about banning and account restrictions. I respect the way you run your PT, but I think the OP was asking for generic advice and we have told him so. As it is -- the scene is disorganized, but I still feel the OP is not cheating or circumventing the P2P protocols.

Only few '1337est' of trackers have the Single IP [ sometimes 5 IP ] restriction , [ Lasttorrents ... they don't ban you , you arejust unable to leech from more than 1 IP .. ]
I use my trackers [ Quite "Elite" ones even ] from 5-10 different PCs , simultaneously . No problem ever occured for me.

nice explamation, good break down so he understands, i was at work and put that in quick.
To your suggestion, he can give that reason, but you forgetting that staff would ask him for a speed test for that server, most PT'S ask for one and that would mean he will be grounded as you know that anything below 100megs would not be considered. Now what he can say is he adds from school or univ but uses at home, then again, he might have to give both ip's to staff
Regarding the ban part, well most trackers ban i have known that for a fact. Scene ban usually don't happen unless the staff of a particular site goes to a place where all scene notes if they want to share are kept and informs every tracker of such users and their ip's. No i won't mention which tracker i staff on that would mean trouble for alot and i don't want to create that, i want to be here helping as many as i can.
If my statement of banning was hard, trust me go ask any trackers sysop's or owners and they will explain u why do they ban in such cases. There have been some users banned on diff trackers where i have friends in staff and i know it that they ban.
The place i staff on, we donot allow such we ask for speedtest and server details. If the user provides details of his server, his account is noted by admins and its cleared.
