How do you download torrents anonymously?

[gourav]

Can you elaborate

Private trackers are not well known and are more likely slip through.

Also, in case of public trackers, anyone can just look take the torrent file and find out the peers, downloaders and seeders. In case of private tracker, you can't grab the torrent file like that. You need to be authenticated in the tracker website.

Does this work when all traffic is encrypted?

No.

See this post I made some days back. For windows, I don't know. You need some transparent proxy in between probably.

also, most of the private trackers are paid trackers so you're bound to get decent speed - most of them have seedbox or similar functionality in place to push.

I haven't come across paid trackers. All trackers I've seen are run on donations.

Seed boxes are owned by top ranked downloaders, but yes, the tracker maintainers will definitely be among them. Speeds are far superior to public torrents.

Doesn't work because usually your public IP address keeps changing every few days. Dedicated IP addresses are for leased lines.

donations are some sort of payment only, right? I know few sites or even on this forum we have thread sites that are open for signups; and many of these trackers achieve that either through seeding or donations or purchasing the download credits.

Maybe I'm out of touch but I've never saw someone get any sort of notice for downloading torrents in India. No one gives a fk so why bother, OP?

Lol! Firstly the politicians will get notices for watching porn in parliaments, storing porns on their phones, blackmailing women etc. and then comes their aam janata...
Its all poltics..govt. knows how to watch and access ahem stuff so just for showing they have blocked it all & the smart janata knows how to access it indirectly...

And people dont give a damn to IT notices, who will even bother on torrent or ahem access notices..

Guys who are using proton vpn, do you pay directly that 10 dollars per month or is there any slot sharing system available?

I had bought some annual plan which keeps getting renewed

Govt mulling blocking websites transmitting pirated content: Official

Stressing that the government is serious about curbing piracy, Chandra said it has already proposed to make filming of content for piracy as an offence, and is now looking to add another provision on transmitting such pirated content.

I use seedbox and then download from there.

Which service do you use for the seedbox?

I think seedboxes also do not give true anonymity because it can directly lead to an individual via the payment method.

I guess if someone wants to come after torrent users, they will find a way depending on how motivated they are.

Many times things are done for show. So some time someone will be put under pressure to show that they're doing something about piracy. They will to send notices to people how have used Torrents. It will go on for a month, a few thousand people will receive notices, then it will go away. At this time, the people who'll receive notices will be the low hanging fruits. If you take precautions, you can avoid being that low hanging fruit.

This has happened once in UP when many people received SMS for having watched porn. I personally know a few people who did. Nobody knew if it was real or fake because everyone watches porn

No one in India is motivated enough to go after pirates like that. At most they'll block few websites and wash their hands of it.

What is the URL please of this seed host. I was using iseedfast (cheapest I could find). For $3.00 = 50GB HDD ; 1TB bandwidth. But their service was sh** horrible, like totally bad. They would take 2 weeks to load new payment credit. And bad support. I used it for AnonMouse, books, to build ratio. Then stopped. I do not mind seeding other things, as long as $5/month; and good support.

How is iseedfast for downloading files into seedbox and download speeds?

You will get what they show in the bundle you choose. But their support it useless. Will have to wait. Also payment was kind of difficult to do.

Yes but don't worry about this in India, 99% ISPs do not care about torrent downloads and no one else cares about what kind of piracy you do or p0rn you watch.
In fact many ISPs advertise high peering speeds as a selling point of their plans.
