Help using a proxy

[Dr. Lecter]

Hey,
A certain site blocked my isp ip's & I can't log in (the site's admin said they not going 2 unblock it).
My account is still active & if I'm using a proxy I can log in.
Is there a way 2 configure Azureus 2 use a proxy so I will b albe 2 download & upload ?
I tried several proxies in Azureus proxy options - in tracker comm. & peer comm. but I'm still getting an error.
maybe I didn't use the right proxy ?
any suggestions ?

not really.
u have to pay for a decent proxy that will allow u to download/upload alot at full speed.
free/public proxies will only let u browse the site.

Hi mate

I have this problem once with bit**.org so, here is my experience in downloading with proxy

1- Proxy IP may be work for only 1 Hour or days so you have to chk that tracker status is ok in your AZ client

2- Always use proxy IP with port 80 or 8080 they are the fastest

3- Never use SOCKS proxy use only high\Anonymous HTTP proxies

4- Enable only proxying of tracker communications so that the tracker see your proxy IP and peers see your real IP for download and upload purpose, so you only report to the tracker through proxy

5- If you enable proxying of peer communications you will not be able to download or upload

6- Always hit save button and restart AZ

7- you will always appears to the tracker as unconnectable like when you have a NAT or firewall problem so don’t worry about it, as it will not affect your client report to tracker

This work with me fine for about 2 months before my account disabled for using proxy :D

That's right, that's the downside...depending on the site mods/admins, you'll get your account banned. Sites like W-B for example, if they detect something suspicious, it's the end.

As long as they arent a public proxie I dont think they would know it was a proxie anyways.

Mate they are all a public proxy other wise you have to pay a lot for proxy server:whistling

Only problem is that public proxies or anonymous proxies only show the proxy IP to the site. Example sct shows it everytime in your profile when you are leeching a torrent. But if the site you talk bout has client logs, it will show your real IP and then you are screwed.

If you're using a proxy to evade an IP ban from a tracker, you're only digging yourself a deeper hole.

it's not exactly an ip ban... I didn't do anything....
I guess a lot of users of my isp tried 2 cheat so the site blocked all the ip range that belong 2 my isp, instead of just banning several ip adresses.

[j0hn]

respect the sites wishes to ban ur isp then, and use another site. there is after all, hundreds of sites out there.
either that or visit them on their irc channel, and try reason with them.
btw, what site is it? a random guess would be t-l/bitme

You can use the tor network as a proxy to the tracker in your BT client unless the tracker blocks the Tor network.

Here is a guide to torify your app for BT, remember not to download through the proxy's its just for the client connection to the tracker.

by far the easiest way is to just change the announce url to include one of those free online proxies (u know the ones that have smt like www.proxyaddr.com/http//www.site.com/announce.php

that works fine 4 me ;-)

just google and u ll get a bunch of them.... ur speed wont be affected since ur using ur normal ip to actually connect to peers... ur real ip is only blocked by the tracker and thus 4 the announce script.. no point in routing ur entire traffic through the proxy when this will clearly suffice...

having said that... plz dont use this method to cheat etc... its just going to cause the trackers to take that into account and thus fix it .. (its really easy to block this method).. cheating is 4 loosers anyways... it fucks up the whole bt mentality...
