    Hiding IP in torrent client

    ^_^ - is it possible?
    Are there any tools which hide real ip and let to work on all trackers?
    I think no, because I used proxy'es and VPN but very often this services give you low speed and limited traffic, so I ask you is there any torrent client or addon for it to allow me not to show my real ip?
    thx

    You need to use commercial(paid) proxy or VPN to use full bandwidth. There are threads about it on forum just use search.

    SOCKS proxies and VPNs are the way to go. I'd recommend the latter, specially a good paid service that doesn't NAT you. Why? If the VPN makes you unconnectable and shares your external IP with other customers, you're going to be in trouble. If it gives you a dedicated IP or at least port forwarding, it's cool.

    SOCKS should be a last resort. They can be fast and easy to use, but they make you unconnectable, and there's no way to fix that. If you feel like trying, google for "speed SOCKS proxies", set one in your client, grab a public torrent and see what happens. I've observed that even with SOCKS5 in uTorrent you have to untick "use proxy for hostname lookups", and tick the last two checkboxes under Proxy Privacy.
