How does a private torrent tracker associate the downloader with my account? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi, I was wondering how they do this and if there is a way to "cheat" the amount of data you are downloading or seeding.

Just setup a seedbox, man.....why you gotta cheat?

If you don't want to do that, switch to usenet or public trackers with a VPN. Private trackers are small and require seeders to keep torrents alive. That's why they incentivize it.
