hello,
i have an adsl connection with dynamic ip over a router and i want to upgrade to an xDSL connection with static IP. the problem is, that i use eMule a lot, and i've heard that it is extremely esay to find out a users identity if a static id is used. is that true? is it safer to use dynamic id's?
please help me out!
greetings, blumentopferde
If you are worried about your IP address being tracked, connect via an anonymous proxy.
note: If you use a public proxy its going to slow you down greatly.
how do you do that and are there any good torrent programs that work well over a proxy?Quote:

here is a guide by J'Pol it might be of help...
there is not dangers associated with it.
Common.. Just use zonealarm or Norton Internet Security..
...but they will still find you if they really want to, so just dont bother with the proxy as you will be so slow,....all that extra time you will be needing to download you files, will surely be used by the RIAA to seek you out, like a rat in a hole ... and whats the point then in upgrading...so you can download more slowly? :huh:
You could of course try the opennap experience, where file-sharing server owners, like myself, respect and protect your anonymity. :cool:
doesnt matter if u have a static or dynamic ip , if they want you they will find u
Is there any way to disguise the IP. Any software which we can use.
How effective is this?
just use peergaurdian 97% effetive.
hi
im a newbie to all this :cry:
i use a router , which is prt forwarded but i dont know anything about proxy ????? what is it , what does it do and how do i set it lol ....my downloads are ever sooooo slow 5 - 10 kB/s ....im wondering if this could be my problem !!
please help lol thankyou in advance
well if you now go an use a proxy, then you should manage, let me see, erm 2.5 / 5 kbs. if you are lucky....There are so many variables, so maybe it would be a good idea to start you own thread, state what file-sharing program you are using what sort connection etc. etc... and post it in the right forum, where the eggsperts, will be hanging around to help you..:)
i guess that pretty much sums it up!!!Quote:
