kluelos Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 True anonymous download is not possible with Bittorrent. It's like asking FedEx to deliver a package but refusing to tell them your address. It's not going to happen. The service you mention is a simple free proxy. It can hide you from file servers, but this is Peer-to-Peer, and your connections are not to file servers. They're to other peers just like you, with no server in the middle. The proxy either reveals your IP address, or it does not. If it does not, then no peers can contact you. This will drastically slow down your transfers, as you are limited to those peers that your client can contact -- you can call out but nobody can call in -- and only if, when and as they aren't busy. The free Web Proxy service is only for your web browser, not your bittorrent client, so it won't do anything for you anyway. The ProVPN paid service doesn't require any configuration, but ALL of your traffic goes through it, and as I said above, you can't become connectable so you'll be very slow.
