How-To: Use proxy apps for semi-anonymous torrenting!

[vDD+wR]

as i promised i'm giving my sum towards ultrasurf+ possible trackers

as far as i can say it works as well as freegate which i used first.
the only unusual thing, i experienced, was, that after a file reached the seeding status, i got an error..
tracker status: unable to connect... (to torrentbytes, i forgot to mention)
but after a few seconds the error disappeared and everything was ok again.
so here my sum up:

seeding:
quorks
torrentbytes
revtt

leeching:
quorks
torrentbytes
revtt

couldn't be better i think...

if you need more information, dont hesitate to ask

mhm a one-time error ^^ the proxy servers are under constant load, and your request got kinda "lost" i think

seeding:
quorks
torrentbytes
revtt

leeching:
quorks
torrentbytes
revtt

couldn't be better i think...

that's right thanks for your report

hey,

tried the proxy issue with theplace.bz and with freegate i got an
HTTP error 503 (can't even check in on the page when the proxy is turned on in opera...)
and with ultrasurf i have some problems with connecting...(it doesn't find any servers. don't know why...)
i will check it later, and edit my post.

[anon]

thanks for reporting.

i don't know what may be going on... are you trying it in the same computer from the other tests? freegate not letting you browse in opera and Ultrasurf not being able to locate servers at all suggest some kind of issue with your connection/ISP HTTP 503 is Service Unavailable btw

hey there on nice friday,

i think i have to sort my last post, cause you mixed it up a bit...
when the proxyserver was enabled the only site i couldn't reach was theplace, neither via webrowser nor via utorrent (thats where i got the 503 errror btw)
but why i couldnt connect to any proxys via usurf i can't say, because today it works first class.

computer magic a friend used to say...

tried it a few mintes ago again, and everything's fine: i can connect to tp via opera, and seeding/leeching is working too... so maybe laptop had a bad day yesterday...

[vDD+wR]

hmm.. one error and now two posts...
i'm sry for that.

[anon]

so everything's alright now?

every computer is a world, i'd say...

ah damn,
if i could have catched the sign-up period of bitme.tv, i could have tested another one, since my last testing was a bout a week ago or so..

[anon]

Too bad I didn't get a bitmetv account either... :/

Maybe someone who did or has one can test this method for us?

yeah would be cool
but we would still need one where could use this information..

UltraSurf v9 is out! Only change I have seen is a new checkbox in "Options", but I'm sure there's more under the hood, remember we're switching from v8 to v9

The tutorial has been updated to reflect this and some other changes. Thank you all

[vDD+wR]

i ran out of good trackers
or else i would still post from time to time...

[anon]

It's OK ^^
And time for me to try it in more of the trackers I'm in
Thanks for all your help vDD

[vDD+wR]

if you get any other great ideas on improving or securing things in the bit-

torrent world just let me know, and i will try to help you in working out the

tuts.

A completely new version of the tutorial is up. You'll notice its layout is much cleaner and easier to follow. I also acknowledge the existance of newer proxy app versions , and have also removed all GTunnel info from the main post - after testing it in some other trackers, it just didn't seem to work at any of them anymore.
But a "dump" of all the GT info is here, just in case you want to see it... so we could say I have just soft-deleted it.

GTUNNEL INFO POST

* GTunnel

gtunnel uses port 8081

---> if you chose to use gtunnel:

* open it and wait until it connects to a server ("Connection State | Connected" message on the Status tab). you may need to

go to Options -> IE Launching, click Set global proxy, open IE and load a page before seeing the "Connected" message.

* open the uTorrent copy you made in steps 2 & 3
* go to Options -> Preferences -> Network and set up the Proxy Server configuration like this:

http://www.sb-innovation.de/members/...-utututnq6.gif
(i.e. HTTP -not HTTPS!- type, host = localhost, port 8081 -see step 7- and no authentication)

* press OK
