I was asking why I was still getting peerguardian blocks, and the DHT expalins that. Thanks for the info on the DHT not being proxied.
My question was how to do it, not whether it was a reasonable option for everyone in the BT community to employ. I personally would rather DL with the confidence of anonamity at half the speed than without anonimity. Surely, security and peace of mind are worth it.
I am currently using a foreign highly anonymous proxy that is giving me atleast 250 K/sec ( 2.5 mb) downloads, that’s with my DHT turned off. So clearly it works at reasonable speeds, and I’m now anonymous.
If uTorrent allowed for DHT to be proxied (at least as an option) it would be great. It shouldn’t be that hard to add, I assume. It would definately put uTorrent over the top, if none of the other BT clients allow for it either.
Thanks again for the help!
My last 2 questions are:
1. You mentioned that “incoming” traffic is lost with the use of a proxy. Doesn’t the proxy just act as my machine would, communicating in both directions for me? Could you explain what you meant?
2: Are there any other BT clients that allows for the DHT to be proxied, since uTorrent doesn’t seem to?
