shallowz Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hello our company would love to use UTorrent as software that will allow us to quickly transfer data between our sites.But security is our number one priority.We have a lot of high security large documents that we move.Is it possible to set UTorrent up so the IP address is untraceable? (so people on the net cannot see where a computer is uploading or downloading files)Is it possible to encrypt data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 uTorrent isn't like traditional p2p networks. It does not operate on a shared-directory style system. It doesn't advertise to other clients what it's uploading. You only know a specific client is uploading something if you're on the torrent as well.Encrypting your data before transferring it (encrypted archive files for example) is independent of any BitTorrent client.

shallowz Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Management is worried about this hiding the IP address because during the research of UTorrent for file transfer we have been reading how users are getting legal notices from illegal downloads.From the articles we have been reading movie, software, music, etc. company are able to track down the IP address of people using UTorrent to download these files. We want to make sure that is not possible. We will be only transferring the secure documents, we want to be able to utilize all possible security features of the software if able.What options does UTorrent allow for this untraceable file transferring and how does one go about doing this?

DreadWingKnight Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The cases referenced in the articles you've been reading deal with public accessible torrent files.If you don't distribute the .torrent files outside the places you want the data and make sure to private flag the torrents (this method REQUIRES a working and stable tracker), outside bodies can't monitor.
