Encrypt torrents

(1/1)

Neflyte49:
Hello

I read in the internets that in USA a new measure anti torrent are going to be taken in some ISP.

Then I recommend put encryption in all the torrents that you seed.

Greetings

What do you mean?
Enabling encryption in the torrent client has zero effect in this regard, and encrypting the files themselves will make it impossible to seed them.

This ain't really new, and I doubt it'll work.

FlyinPenguin:
What do you mean? Are you talking about some legislation that will require ISPs to take a stricter stance on illegal torrenting or certain ISPs have announced they themselves are voluntarily going to be stricter on illegal torrenting? Do you have a source?

As it stands, whether or not you have to worry about torrenting really just depends on your ISP. Some ISPs block torrent traffic altogether while others are only concerned with illegal torrenting. Luckily, I have some rural ISP that couldn't give two shits what I download. My friend on the other hand who has Charter or Comcast (can't remember which) received numerous emails from his ISP listing the individual movies he downloaded and demanded he delete them and never download any copyrighted material again or they would terminate his internet.

Tiffanys:
You can't encrypt torrents. Or rather, it only avoids traffic shaping. Others connected in the swarm can still see your IP and what you're downloading, and those are the companies that report to your ISP.

If you want to circumvent it you'll need a Seedbox then SFTP the stuff to yourself.

The ISP's copped a deal with the MPAA/RIAA Nazis.
