I just purchased a month’s subscription and it’s working amazingly.

They say every log is erased, only your perosnal details from, say, the page where your enter your credit card is kept if you commit some sort of ridiculous crime. Just like any other credit card service.

Sounds legit to me.

alright i hear everyone’s plights but get realistic if you’ve been coming to torrentfreak for any amount of time you know that torrentfreak’s reporting is often quite questionable toward being fact based.

With that said is this ready out of the box in utorrent v1.77 or is it a pay for srvc.

These two details seem quite contradictory as is most of this info found at torrentfreak.

At last I’ve tried the service. It’s easy use, and the speed seems almost the same.

I must say that the service works.

Perhaps we should adopt the tactics of the suffragettes – extreme, radical, civil disobedience. It’s not like conventional methods would do anything, and public opinion doesn’t really matter at this point – what really matters is yelling as loudly as we can. We can do this through serious disruptions, like in the “Battle of Seattle” about 10 years ago. It is not so much about courting the public opinion as it is about getting noticed, and showing that we have a strong will.

It’s really idiotic of the commenters saying it’s useless etc.( I’m curious if 8 year old kids started to read TorrentFreak. )There are other services like this one (btguard,relakks..), and they are serving because there is a need,so a market for this. We are reading RIAA/MPAA lawsuits all the time, and some of us wouldn’t want our ISP or employer etc. to find out what we are downloading or uploading.

Whats up with all the bitching? It sounds like an easy to use, cheap, and reliable service. Not everything is free in the world. Use it or don’t use it, but don’t bitch at the company for charging a small amount for a quality service.

How can violence solve anything at this stage? It can only make us look bad. What is really needed is for us to show the public why copyright law is ridiculous as it currently is. You know, show just how unfair the RIAA is. Violence can’t show that what the RIAA is doing is wrong. After all, it can only harden the opinion of those against us.

By the way, I will seriously BOMB the headquarters of the RIAA. What the RIAA have been doing is MORALLY WRONG and UNACCEPTABLE for FAR TOO LONG. Copyright as it currently is is UNACCEPTABLE and is essentially MEDIA CONTROL and a controlling of what people do with their own property. How could giving away a copy of a CD be “stealing” anyways? That is just ridiculous, essentially since you are supposed to OWN the CD when you buy it, and you are supposed to be able to do whatever you want with it. Copyright is a GRAVE invasion of copyright and personal property rights. Copyright needs to be changed. Nonprofit uploading of copyrighted materials needs to be legalized. But the RIAA here is UNACCEPTABLE and they all need to DIE. I am not talking about laws here; I am talking about morality. So I will BOMB their building. They seriously deserve no life. When the bomb explodes, I will be happy that all of those bastards are in hell.

Radical civil disobedience. What we need to do is to set fire to the RIAA buildings, smash their windows, destroy their homes. We need to go to the political party meetings and disrupt them. Disrupt the meetings of the democratic party and the republican party.

You think that illegal activities won’t do anything? Why, yes, it will. Look at the “Battle of Seattle.” We need to do more radical stuff. Years have passed, and it has shown that the “nice” methods of the EFF are ineffectual and can’t do anything.

There is one huge issue with this service which most people seem to be overlooking…private trackers.

Most private trackers use your IP to make sure you’re actually allowed to connect to their tracker, this makes that system unworkable.

Ditto what JT said – The more varied and scattered services like this out there in the wild, the better. They’ll each have their weaknesses and strong points, and consumers will suss them out accordingly.

Considering Relakks is still f’d for some reason and can’t re-up accounts, its interesting to see new options like this popping up ever 30 days, in all kinds of different countries.

It is debate, debate is healthy. No, I do not agree that every “tool” for BitTorrent is equally useful. Sure, sometimes debates on which one is better than the rest can sometimes be distracting, but criticism only makes people think and want to do better things.

I do not think it is so much doubt as it is just that “there are some things they should have done that they haven’t.” You understand what I mean?

Indeed, I think that that a “tor” or “Share” version of BitTorrent is far safer. Basically, people can set up their own nodes, and all the peers automatically become nodes, so instead of downloading directly, people download through a peer or dedicated node, or possibly through several, along with automatic encryption. In addition, each node should be within a distributed cache, so that people can store data on anybody’s machine in an allocated space, making everybody an automatic seeder of any random torrent if somebody else wishes to make it so. It would be preferable if people can connect even when they are on different torrents, so that they can still download through them.

If you want to use this to pirate music and films, think again: this provider is not above the law and has to provide data to the authorities. And since you have to pay, there is a neat money trail between you and the company. Nothing gained.

How can they offer torrent privacy when they can’t even afford login privacy. Their site does not offer SSL (HTTPS) logins. At least get a free Comodo or CA certificate. It’s better than nothing.

Interesting things not mentioned in the article:

- What type of payment do they offer, is it possible to pay anonymously

- Do they retain the IP you use to login (internal IP)? Do they retain the IP they assign (external IP)? If so, how-long? Are they able to cross-link the account infos with the connection infos (internal or external IP)?

- Are they legaly obliged to hand out either connection data (IP+Timestamp) or user data (Account name, billing data, maybe even real names or addresses) if requested by local authorities (f.e. police etc.) or even privat organistation (like RIAA, GVU etc.)?

I just paid for the ‘gold’ Torrent Privacy service and got the confirmation e-mail.

But when I logged-on to download the program I just got the message:

“This service is available only for Gold users”

SNAFU – Not a good start.
