I've got a question. Is there any way to hide your IP address from somebody you are downloading from? I know it's not shown by default, but people with networking tools, etc can see all IP's that are connected to them. I know that the program Filetopia allows you to use a bouncer.

A bouncer is like a proxy. When you want to download a file using Filetopia, you have the option of routing your request through another maching (called a bouncer) so that if the other user is using a special network monitoring tool, he can't see your true IP address.

socks2http + your ISP proxy might do the same as a bouncer

If you don't have static IP you don't have to worry - they can only figure out your provider, that's all.
If you are in a local network and have a local IP (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), again, they can only see your gateway IP which masquerades all users in your network.

Use anonymous socks proxy to completely hide your IP.
