JackDinn Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 i was just looking at this http://www.torrentprivacy.com/ site.i already use PG2 and was just wondering if this is of any interest? is it a phishing site, malicious code site or just not of any use? or is it better than PG2 or maybe a good supplement?whats the general opinion?Thx allJackDinn

JackDinn Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Posted July 18, 2008 yep very interesting reading, i was fairly sure it wasn't up 2 much and was just a way for som1 to make a little dosh at no risk to themselves just the user who is lead into a false sense of security.i was already aware of the limitations of PG and any type of IP blocker as how hard is it to get another IP not hard so lists are pretty much useless, but PG does do what its supposed to do block specific IP`s and thats fine.thx for the linksJackDinn
Switeck Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 If you must use an ip blocklist, put it into uTorrent's ipfilter.dat blocklist.uTorrent will keep retrying ips in PG2's blocklist, since it doesn't know why it cannot connect.With ipfilter.dat, only incoming connections will occur on blocked ips.
Firon Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 PG2 is totally useless. Torrent privacy is somewhat more useful, but only if you trust the people running it.
syfer Posted August 2, 2008 Report Posted August 2, 2008 well i have paid them about a week trail and its faster than my ips provider
nabilalk Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 @Firon: What about PG2 renders it useless? Would you mind clarifying?Update: http://neuron2neuron.blogspot.com/2006/05/blocklist-balderdash.htmlGot it.
thelittlefire Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 The problem isn't necessarily the program, but people's "belief" or "faith" that using it, plus the pre-made lists from Bluetack removes the worry from users that "ya I won't be caught downloading that awesome content I don't have the legal right to get".
ThePat Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 So, what's up now with Torrent Privacy? Even Torrentreactor is promoting it and I've not seen any negative review. A friend of mine uses it and the only thing he complains about is that the software crashes every 7 hours or so - Otherwise he is very happy with it, his download speed has gone through the roof because his ISP is throttling BitTorrent traffic, and now he can circumvent that with TP.Honestly I'm thinking of joining them (there seem to have a heavy discount for the moment), but what with anonymity? Is this VPN/SSH stuff really secure?! Don't wanna get sued... While downloading some ubuntu image of course
