Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi,I love this torrent program with the great memory usage and small size! Would it be possible to have SSL compatibility in it? Some trackers out there do use SSL.Thanks,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazel Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Please add this feature as I would very much like to use your program but cannot due to this fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro0f Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would also like to see SSL support. It would instantly attract a higher userbase as a lot of new trackers are using ssl for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paritybit Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 I would also like to see SSL support. It would instantly attract a higher userbase as a lot of new trackers are using ssl for obvious reasons Sorry, but I don't believe that it is obvious. By SSL you probably mean TLS pretty much the same thing. TLS= Transport Layer Security. IN other words someone can monitor your traffic but they can't see what you are sending. However, by the size of what you are sending it can be pretty easy to tell what you are sending. Nothing at the IP layer is protected so they know your address and any other vitals like that they want. TLS is a good idea to impliment but don't start thinking it actually provides any real security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 SSL means Secure Socket Layer. I believe you are right on the overall idea though. I do believe this should be supported since it is a standard way some trackers work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paritybit Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Yeah well SSL 3.0 is pretty much TLS 1.0 and TLS is the standard these days although TLS and SSL are pretty much the same. I believe TLS is a comprimise of sorts, Netscape had SSL and M$ had some other implimentation so TLS has the best of both in a way. Suffice to say, a lot of the time when people talk about SSL they mean TLS. It is a good idea to include this feature as I am sure some trackers would require it, however I was just pointing out that it isn't as secure as some might think.

check Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm not that worried about the security of it, but there are quite a few secure trackers popping up now that use ssl, and I can only imagine it will become more common as another layer of protection. Consider this a vote for ssl . If this can be implemented, I can finally uninstall Azureus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PegasusX Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Another vote for SSLIts such a great idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ05 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Another one for SSL.Pleeeease!I really do need to put away Azureus...for good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 +1 for SSL...will SSL make d/ling/ uploading slower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 It's only for tracker communication, so it's not likely to have any impact on speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 what port should be used for SSL, port 443 like for HTTPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keloran Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 ssl port number dosnt matter, you can run ssl on any port, but some proxys only allow ssl thru 443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperysnowman Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I would also like to request this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 however I was just pointing out that it isn't as secure as some might think.What being as secure as someone may think and simply requesting the addition of something have to do with eachother is beyond me.

linuxalien Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Add my vote for SSL/TSLAll it takes is them to compile 1 extra library in. It's not really that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 +1, though right now, the developers have their hands full with DHT and Unicode. So we may have to wait a while... :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Add my vote for SSL/TSLAll it takes is them to compile 1 extra library in. It's not really that hard.Wrong. They don't use external libraries if they can. They implement things from the base API's and build from there without any huge messy libraries, so it'll take more work than just adding it in.
