best anonymous bittorrent services

[qmarkball]

Looking for the best free service to conduct my downloads privately. Ive been DL for 6 years, today i got a infringement letter....thought i was safe but guess not.

thx guys.

No where is 100% safe m8 as isps can detect what the traffic is
Guess best option is get a server and rename the stuff b4 downloading but I am sure they can detect who has the server any hjow so that might be considered a worse offence.

In truth I guess we all taking the same risk when we download

Yep there is always a risk, especially with bittorrent. I think anonymous bittorrent is kind of contradictory, because in order to use bittorrent you need to connect to other people, and no matter what you do that's not anonymous. You could FTP from a seedbox, or switch to DDL such as RS or usenet if you're really paranoid, and maybe find a service that offers SSL. But if you really want to be 100% safe, buy the stuff you want ;)

well ive heard peergurdian was good, then ive also heard it will mess with your downloads. It works off the basis of re routing your IP every minute, so its untraceable...to basic programs, lol.

Then ive heard about phrotowall...not sure if its good or not.

If you have the knowledge, or you're technically-minded and willing to google a bit and experiment, you might consider renting a normal offshore box and installing your own vpn proxy software. That way you'll have relative anonymity at the ISP level, and total control over the logging on the box, not to mention it should probably be cheaper than a dedicated vpn service.

seems a bit expensive just to download doesnt it, might aswell use newsgroups instead.

No, it doesn't. PeerGurdian blocks specific addresses as it suspects them to be ,ubernodes´ sending bulk and collecting information.

Anyway, there is no definitive way to make sure if someone is a(n automated) snitch or not. "They" can use the same services we do.


Then ive heard about phrotowall...not sure if its good or not.It's based on the same principle as PG, another "blocklisting" tool. The usefulness has always been highly disputed.

What tracker were you using?

Getting a letter means very little. They usually won't do anything. If you get served with a summons, then start panicking.

Shiite I am gonna install pg when I get home. I also suggest using a firewall and a list of ip to block in utorrent I got mine from midnight torrents.

Peerguardian is completely different and imo, can only be harmful. It blocks IPs from a filter list, but do you really think the government would be dumb enough to use government ips when trying to nab someone? More likely than not its only going to block actual users if at all, causing more harm then good.
