This is a question were I would like an opinion or a wise answer
I just started to join in private trackers such as: IpTorrents, Beyondhd, Speed.cd, Digitalhive.org, ebookvortex and hdfrench-zone.
My question now is, how secure I am downloading with Utorrent from these trackers?
Before to answer I would like to remind you that this is my setup:
- I virtualized a desktop machine on a ESXi server (pretty much it became my personal seedbox)
- I'm using utorrent 1.8.5
- I joined in Btguard.com and I use their server proxies, with DISABLED:
DHT network
DHT for new torrent
disabled local peer discovery
disabled peer exchange
disabled local peer bandwith
Disabled UPnp Port mapping
Disabled NAT-PMP port mapping
and ENABLED only!
Authentication (through BtGuard)
Resolve hostnames through proxy (through BtGuard)
Use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections (through BtGuard)
Ask tracker for scrape information
ENABLED Outgoing Protocol Encryption

- I have peerblock up and running all the time

Please Give me your opinion if I am Anonymous enough, or if I need more securities
Thank you so much

There's always ways people can catch you if they want, I don't use BTGuard myself as I find it can be problematic on some private trackers, basically anything that hides you behind a proxy can have issues on private trackers.

If your really paranoid about your safety then I think seedboxes are your best option as your downloading the torrent files to your Seedbox server then using an FTP client to transfer the files to your Pc. Your cutting out the middleman

Buy a cheap box if your only using for safety purposes and not worried to much about buffer.

also would take into account your location im from uk and have been downloading movies just through utorrent so people can see what im doing but never had any problems and been doing this for a long time....end of the day i will just wait for that moment when i get a letter about it then sort something out but untill that day comes i shall carry on doing what im doing lol

same thing here i have been downloading using my home connection all these years never had a problem .

Thank you guys for the answer
I know all about seedboxes and yes that's a very good idea.
But for the moment do you guys think that is a good enough security? I'm not saying that FBI o CIA is on my ass but from 1 through 100% what you guys think?

Thank you
