Turn on encryption!

**Polarbear** · 10-30-2009, 12:27 PM

Just a reminder that everyone should turn on encryption in their bittorrent clients.

There are still way too many peers who don't use this simple security/privacy feature.

You also miss encrypted connections without fallback option which will result in slower speeds for you.

If you don't know how to turn it on in your client, please ask.

In utotrrent I have it on forced. Or is enabled enough?

**kukushka** · 10-30-2009, 12:54 PM

i think it's better to ask firon to add this as default setting in utorrent. it will have a much more serious effect i think

My settings on uTorrent are:

Code:

Outgoing: Enabled
Allow incoming legacy connections: Checked

Is this alright?

For Deluge you would Enable both for Inbound and Outbound? That's how I've always had it, just wondering if it's right.

Who helps me with turning on encryption on Vuze and Utorrent?

uTorrent: If you want to only allow encrypted connections you select "Forced" and uncheck "Allow Legacy Connections". If you simply want to enable it, select "Enabled" and keep "Allow Legacy Connections" checked.
