pickledharry Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hi all, I am not very computer literate so any tips appreciated. I am trying to use utorrent anonymously via the JAP anonymizer program. With browsers I just set the proxy and port details to those JAP recommends and it works fine...However with utorrent this does not seem to work. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it (or use utorrent anonymously)cheers pickledharry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 AFAIK proxying utorrent over a HTTP proxy is not possible.Using utorrent over a proxy is not really feasible, not for free anyways. All the data has to go through the proxy which means the proxy has to be able to handle your full upload and download speed. I don't think there are proxy servers offering that service for free. Besides you would probably be unconnectible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanjr Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Considering http proxying utorrent, would the port then need to also be set to what is selected from the Speed Guide settings? Could both be actually set to 80? Would they both need to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You cannot proxy µtorrent over a http proxy. No settings are gonna change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanjr Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Then what is the HTTP Proxy setting used for in uTorrent, just updates, things like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 For tracker communication. Only HTTPS, SOCKS5, and SOCKS4 proxies can fully proxy the peer connections, but even that might not be totally guaranteed, and you're essentially in a firewalled state when proxied.

Firon Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 HTTPS is aka HTTP CONNECT, which almost no HTTP proxies support (or have enabled). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Unless your LAN or your ISP enforces a http proxy you do not need to touch those settings. Some ISPs force http traffic through their proxy. But the normal traffic is (usually) not forced through the proxy. If both are forced through a full proxy I'd suggest switching ISP anyways (and afaik µtorrent won't work in that case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
