End to End Encryption

Recommended Posts

The ISP is worried about bandwidth, not illegalities. They block BT regardless, plus, with just the p2p traffic you don't know if it's legal or not. As for the feature, µTorrent already has an end to end encryption option. By default it will use it if the other peer initiates connection and wants encryption, but won't start encrypted connections. If you change it to enabled, it will try to make an encrypted connection and then fall back if the connection fails. The end-to-end encrption is compatible with the latest Azureus.

Well, web browsing is noticeably better with "broadband". Maybe most of us use BitTorrent heaps, but that doesn't stop the other hundreds of thousands of broadband users who DON'T use BT at all and just use it for its other advantages (VoIP, faster iTunes downloads, faster web browsing, no phone line usage etc).

A texas phone company is rolling out fibre into all their clients homes. So it's starting elsewhere, but it's definantly not common to get much more than 3.0/768 ADSL or the rough equivalent on cable. VDSL/ADSL2+ (etc) are just hitting in Canada now too, but Bell caps the speeds at the same as there ADSL and uses the extra bandwidth for phone line and television signals; so it's not any better for internet at the moment. Hopefully things will change though.
