Re: ktorrent and tor
NOBODY should reply to questions of this kind. tor with ktorrent? tor with azureus? Tsss ... All list members should be highly alarmed if somebody asks for help using azureus or shareaza. Both clients in the hands of experienced programmes can be used to spy the tor network. Yes, i know this is not the case this time. A kid asked for help in downloading ilegal (?) music via anonymous tor network, which is idiotic and no serious tor user should answer questions like this. But again, be alarmed if someone asks for help using shareaza or azureus. Both clients are used to spy the tor network. -dieter --- On Sat, 6/14/08, sigi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: sigi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ktorrent and tor To: or-talk@freehaven.net Date: Saturday, June 14, 2008, 8:11 PM On Sat, Jun 14, 2008 at 10:57:53PM -0400, Ringo Kamens wrote: I don't know much about Ktorrent so I can't help you, but hopefully somebody else can.

Thanks a lot for your really fast answers! sigi.
Re: ktorrent and tor
Please explain how these clients can be used to spy the Tor network. I think the only risk of exposing real ip adddresses would be to other users of bittorrent. The latest version of KTorrent is supposed to support socks5 directly, but we do not want the data packets going over the Tor network due to the load and also the liability to exit node operators. https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/BitTorrent I saw on the Ktorrent support forum that some problems making it work with proxy might be due to KDE having its own settings that take effect regardless of what is done in KTorrent. If you ask there you will likely get more informed answers.

I only wanted to use tor for my connections with the tracker-connections, since ktorrent has an option for setting a http-tracker-proxy. That does not mean, that all download-traffic goes through tor. I think it's reasonable to do this, whatever files anybody wants to share - and it does not use a lot tor-bandwidth. sigi.
New swedish survailance law.
FYI Sweden has introduced a new law. A copy of all traffic crossing the borders of Sweden has to be delivered to an intelligence agency called FRA. This affects nodes in Sweden, but also countries like Finland (80% of Finland's international traffic goes through Sweden.). The law is set to take affect 2009-01-01. http://www.thelocal.se/12534.html -- Regards Georg Sluyterman Denmark
