errr BT isn't very anonymous, it wasn't designed to be.....

It isn't the anonymity of content that is the point, its that fact that it takes relatively little analysis to deduce who and what others are downloading without specifically monitoring them.

also whats stupid about BT, is if someone is say doing something nefarious, they are uploading it as well as downloading it.
Thats often a worse offence, to share it rather than just download it.
Yet another reason why its a utterly stupid way of distributing data. Not to mention my upstream is 1.5mbit on BePro, my downstream, considerably faster.

Providing your are not downloading anything unlawful, or breaching copyright - there is no intrinsic problem anyway - however threats to personal privacy are of interest, and while copyright theft is a problem, some of the organoisation pursuing copyright threat issuers have been heavy handed and using techniques that border on illegality.

You have a point, but if you where sharing that program does help. I think it helps with unauthorised access to your machine.

I remember using that waaaaaay back in the past (I used to run a website with one of the devs): essentially it silently drops packets from ip addresses and blocks that you specify. Personally... if you're that fussed about obfuscating your activity then TOR is probably the way to go - this works for *all* internet traffic, not just torrents.
don't go recommending TOR, bittorrent ruins the network for everyone by using huge amounts of bandwidth, if ur gonna use it ONLY for normal internet traffic
private trackers FTW![]()
yeh for normal internet usage, maybe 100MB a day would be acceptable use of the network. but gigabytes of data over the tor network using bittorrent is not what it was designed for and abuse of the system!
well thats fine, but it's not for bittorrent!
