Demonoid is the one doing any blocking. And that’s because they were pressured.
Just get a proxy and relak(k)s?

Wrapping another layer around an existing protocol is not exactly what I was talking about and pretty much all the solutions that exists today relay on methods that don’t stand a chance of surviving a big user base such as TPBs. Mostly due to a bottleneck effect but spoofing doesn’t really work either. I’ve not yet seen a working solution.

At any rate anonymity will severely reduced download speeds and that’s just not a good start, people will stick with their old stuff if the new stuff ‘doesn’t work’.

Although starting from scratch is of course a bit exaggerated every new protocol benefits from its predecessors but again just adding new features doesn’t cut it imo.

Concerning privacy there is nothing to work on unless you make MAJOR changes to the protocol and these changes would be so big you can better create a new protocol from scratch.

No need to start from scratch. Anonymous P2P and semi-anonymous (e.g. friend-to-friend) networks have existed for years and are continually be worked on. If you want to use them all they need is a userbase.

Which would probably be a good thing but since uT is owned by BitTorrent, Inc. the days of developing (more or less effective) encryption stuff and such with Azu are over… so the guys from TPB will probably not get much love from the biggest client distributor on the net. What ever they do.

No changes to the client means no changes to the server. Unless we all change clients *cough* and all the sites change along with that. New tracker new everything… never gonna happen.

So… gz we are stuck with what we got for now hence new tracker even though new a system would be better.

Let them work on it even if all you say is true, they will come up with something, have faith in the pirates they are a resilliant bunch.

“The new tracker will ensure the privacy of its users” – come one now, it will still be BitTorrent. How could it possibly “ensure the privacy of its users” unless it routes all connections through a proxy, at which point you lose all the bandwidth advantages of a swarming protocol?

@ old timer
Call me paranoid but I’d change this ID every announce if possible and at least every time I start my client.

More than that you can poison the stats pretty easy if you relay on client information and there is not much else to relay on.

Last but not least this would create more stress for the tracker (bandwidth, load and memory -wise) with virtually no improvements to the protocol.

BT is not an anonymous protocol. Sorry but that idea is just bs.
Splitting the swarm… em no thank you! It would improve privacy though.
