Hi all.

I used to use peer guardian to protect privacy for utorrent.

I would like to find out whether there are other better or more recommended software than peer guardian?

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.

PG2 provides a very partial privacy. A better choice is to use a proxy, or a VPN. Anyway that's not 100% private. Search on the boards, there are many recent topics about that.

Peer Guardian doesn't protect you AT ALL from ip harvesters that connect to the tracker to gather peer/seed lists. Nor does uTorrent's built-in ipfilter.dat!

Only if the ip harvesters bother to test their gathered ip lists does Peer Guardian or ipfilter.dat offer even MARGINAL benefit. And as this study concluded...not all ip harvesters test ips:
