![]() ![]() “That means you no longer have any exposure in any swarm, either downloading or seeding,” he adds. By using Tribler you become part of a Tor-like network and help others become anonymous,” Dr. “Tribler creates a new dedicated network for anonymity that is in no way connected to the main Tor network. When you’re using a standard torrent client your IP address is shown pubically but Tribler uses onion routing which means that its data is wrapped around multiple layers of encryption. Tribler also promises its users the highest degree of anonymity by allowing them to share material without exposing the first real IP address. The idea is to stop relying on central severs in a network (decentralization), using a network similar to the Tor network. What makes it different is that it doesn’t need to connect to a website to search for files, the whole process takes within the program itself. ![]() Tribler, as it’s called, is a torrent client like none other. The site itself states 'Privacy using our Tor-inspired onion routing', be sure to check out that warning too! Anonymity comes with a price But it seems researchers at Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) have finally found a solution in the shape of a robust BitTorrent client that they claim is impossible to shutdown. The shutdown of Pirate Bay just a few days ago shows how vulnerable the Torrent world is, as a single raid pulled down the largest torrent site of the world.
