Help using a proxy

[Dr. Lecter]

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.

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 http://www.proxyaddr.com/http//www.s...m/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...
