Coldbot is pretty pricey as Paul mentioned, so I'd definitely check others. Mike
Re: What can see a server of a Bittorent when I contact with it through Tor?
It's people like you who seriously affect the existence of exit nodes. I received quite a few DMCA notices and the next one will surely result in termination of my server and the exit node. Fortunately after taking steps to limit the amount of ports one can use on my exit node it seemed to have had great results in stopping or at the very least; makes it extremely annoying to any torrent users trafficking across my node. Please reconsider using Tor for any type of torrent activity.

Re: Connection Problems to Authority Servers?
Hello,
I have been seeing some issues on my end as well but I don't know if it is
related to your
issue or not.
What I have been seeing for the last several days is this.
Jan 28 10:05:52 XXX Tor[504]: Received http status code 404 ("Not Found")
from server '194.109.206.214:80' while fetching "/tor/status/all.z". I'll
try again soon.
Jan 28 10:05:52 XXX Tor[504]: I learned some more directory information, but
not enough to build a circuit: We have only 267/1591 usable descriptors.
Rebooting the server and restarting tor several times has not resolved this
yet.
Running tor-devel-0.2.2.5.a still on the server.

Re: doesn't take long for the dmca's notices to start rolling in..
Bad News.. The hosting provider is still getting take down notices etc and sent me an email wanting to know what other preemptive actions I have taken or can take to prevent anymore notices from coming in. Supposedly the DC is threatening to pull the plug on their server if they don't do something about my tor node... So it's looking like a relay or bridge but exit node isn't looking like a happy future right now.. If I limit my exit ports to http(s) and ssh; would that pretty much stop the torrenting? Or does anyone know a good vps hosting company they can point me too? One that isn't racked in the FDC DC?

Re: doesn't take long for the dmca's notices to start rolling in..
Thank you for the links. My provider replied back and they are happy with the response and have no issues with Tor continuing to run. They have forwarded the response to the DC and told me it will be their call though if they should decide to null route my ip or not.. One notice wouldn't be too bad but I was nailed with what looks like 11 of them..

doesn't take long for the dmca's notices to start rolling in..
Like my subject states just started running Tor and... Less than a month with Tor running and I have received several DMCA's from the isp just now.. Sure doesn't take long for those to start flying.. Well I shall see how the host I have the account with responds to the template provided to us..
