How to download and share a torrent safer and more anonymously
There are simply no people who did not use torrents. But few people know that knowing the IP address, you can find out what files the user downloaded via torrents.
By their architecture, peer-to-peer networks cannot hide the IP addresses of users. Clients must transfer this information to each other in order to establish P2P connections and create distributions.
The http://iknowwhatyoudownload.com service analyzes peer-to-peer networks and displays a list of movies, music and other content downloaded from any IP address. You can check this by entering your IP address.
How can you download and share torrents more safely? For this, the Tribler client was developed. Tribler is a completely anonymous version of BitTorrent that cannot be disabled. The newest version of Tribler is based on technology copied from Tor, but not on the Tor network itself. This allows users to share files anonymously. From the point of view of the provider, it is impossible to find out what Tribler members are exchanging, just as it is impossible to find out where the data is being transferred, since the information will pass through several transmission points.
