I wouldn't mind having what stoi said too. I never understood why clients show your ip. But I guess there's a reason that I don't know about...
Anyways, besides the ip thing, KTorrent is my perfect client. It's lightweight, has a bunch of options, great looking interface, and will also play media.
too bad ips cannot be hidden.... possible 2 see em in a way or anotherQuote:

Or by plausible deniability, but this isn't appropriate for private trackers.
What i mean is, the staff of the tracker would see your real IP, but the client would not. OK you could do an IP trace from the command line, but then you are just getting all IPs that connect to you, you have no clue what they are actually doing or what torrent they are on, even if they are on a torrent.
So it would be username on that tracker, percentage, speed up or down.
and that is all you would see in your actual client.
you would not be able to see any IPs at all from within the client but you would know that "mark" is giving you 20KBs and "fred" 2mbits type thing.
but like i already said, i dont think its possible, which is a shame.
nothing is impossible ;) im sure some good coder can do it
I have absolutely no idea if it's possible or not since I knowing pratically nothing about coding. But an option in the client, something like, Make IP Addres Not Visible To Others would be mighty fine. ;)
But then again, Stoi may be right. If something like this was possible it would probably have been done already.
or then its just way too trickyQuote:

for it to work, you have have to have tracker and clients talking to each other all the time, which does not happen now (well it does but not in any great detail).
So it will ne be a tracker/client combo sort of thing, so not only a new client but a new tracker announce at least.
it may also be far to much server load as well, all i know one of my coders 4 years ago said it would need a brand new protocol to do it properly, it will never work with bittorrent as we know it now.
