anonymous torrenting...

hiya peeps


could someone recommend a good anonymous bittorrent client?

I was using azureus, then I got a call from my ISP, so I need something a bit more cloak and dagger


thanks in advance

there is no anonymous bit torrenting, you can encrypt your traffic, but there is no way to make it totally anonymous.

The thing that cracks me up about anonymous bittorrent clients is that you might mask the fact that it's bittorrent data, but it's still large gobs of data. They don't really care whether or not it is bittorrent, the ISPs just don't want you clogging their intertubes.

Can you really hide the fact that you're downloading gigs of information?

It's like trying to hide an elephant using a big cardboard box. You don't know what's inside, but it's still big.

Yes, the most torrent encryption can accomplish is to escape torrent-specific limits. That doesn't mean you'll escape overall traffic caps, just that they won't be able to determine with certainty you're using bt. They will be able to tell you're moving boatloads of information though and can broaden their shaping rules.

There can be a downside to encrypting. If your ISP provides a QoS allowance for P2P and leaves the rest wide open, by encrypting the torrent traffic you break their allowance system and force them to cap your overall traffic. Depends on the ISP and their policies in your area.

I can't personally vouch for it but I've heard stuff about PeerGuardian: http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

It's supposed to block the subnet's the the RIAA uses to collect evidence

i use peergaurdian and safe peer to block out allot of the junk IP addresses on my BT box, however, it only blocks most of them, not all of them.

I highly recommend utorrent to any and everyone. It's simply a fantastic program. Feature packed, very lightweight.

I suggest enabling encryption on traffic and randomising the port it's operating on. You can even push the traffic through a proxy if you want, although that might reduce speeds quite significantly.

Where i live there's an element of legal ambiguity in the whole thing, the Privacy Act protects your data being examined by a third party without your consent. There is one isp that i know that will take action if the RIAA requests it, but apparently when people have called them up, they've re-connected them without issue. Most others tell the RIAA to, politely of course, stick it. My isp is one of them.
