Torrenting.......

Yeah i am going to go straight to the point....well basically your IP is shown in the swarm when you connect to peers....this is how you are getting caught right.....is there a way of showing a different IP completely....:lol:

If you have a dynamic IP, just unplug your modems power for a minute ... it should reconnect and get a new IP...


look at http://www.whatismyip.com/

It's not necessary to turn off the modem, just make another connection (well atleast in adsl...).

What about using a HTTP tunnel.

And how would this work...would it hide my IP from other peers and would it download at same speeds etc....:)

use tor and privoxy but it is highly look down on because it slows the onion routers and it is not made for this. the best thing to do is to disable you DHT settings so your IP is not in the genaral swarm just the private trackers swarm.if you use private trackers

What about programs like Peerguardian (http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/)

Your not safe with that, though every little helps. :)

the other peers in the swarm need ur i.p, or how can they connect to u?
the only thing u can do is use a proxy, but u'd need to pay for that.
free/public proxies are bery slow, and often dont last long

You could subscribe to a VPN service. The drawback is you will be seen as a NAT connection with closed ports and get the yellow light connecting to less peers and get slower speeds. Also most of the services are 10 a month and up. Not much point really when you could get NewsGroups with a service like NewsHosting and get better speeds...
