Unfortunately BT is very unsafe. The MPAA especially have been looking at BT activity very closely since it is one fastest ways to get movies.
Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats". |

Based on personal my experience I would try WASTE or private DC hubs.

Safest = Freenet -
August 12th, 2003, 11:31 PM
The safest way to get files is Freenet (P2P), it is anonymous #1, at the cost of speed though.
They are working on keeping it 100% anonyous and are making improvements in the quality, with a new node routing system being developed (NGR) in the next couple of months. Try http://freenet.sourceforge.net/ for more information. |
