"anonymous" Bittorrent services
Rabi en Rose:
Hello first of all I have searched the forum a bit but I couldn't find anything that answers my question.
Currently I am behind a University firewall and probably will be for at least another year and a half. I can kind of use proxies to still download stuff, sometimes, but I can't seed at all. My ratio is still pretty high at 3:1 from when I had private internet access but that's not going to last forever and I do feel bad about not seeding ^_^;
Now I understand that there are BitTorrent Anonymising services like BTguard. I don't care about the anonymity part I just care about getting through the Firewall. I understand BakaBT uses Torrent keys to identify each user so my main question is would these keys still work if I use a BitTorrent Anonymising service because obviously, it's supposed to be anonymous.
Any help or advice relating to BitTorrent Anonymising services or download AND SEEDING through a firewall I have no control over (and which actively blocks filesharing services like BitTorrent) would be great thanks ^_^

I highly doubt anonymizing has anything to do with firewall workaround. I would expect it to just hide your IP, or at least attempt to, which would pretty much have the same effect as using a proxy.
I don't condone giving you advice to work around something that was put in place specifically to prevent you from doing something, especially by an organization like a University, where the consequences may include expulsion. But meh, that's my own opinion.

Then don't bother posting.

Thought of using a seedbox and FTP instead? I would assume your uni still allows FTP access?
Rabi en Rose:
I've never heard of seedboxes before. I'll look into this solution thank you ^_^
