TOR and Emule

[NekstBestThing]

I have heard alot of good things about the Onion Ring system, and I'm sure you all have too.

But I'll get down to the point. It anonmizes port 9050 using SOCKS. I pointed emule's client ports to 9050 but something seems to be going wrong. Can someone point me to a user friendly guide on using Emule with TOR or just give me some advice? Thanks.

If you cannot do TOR through emule is there another way to make you connect via other computers (leving your IP safe) like using a proxy?

DO NOT USE TOR FOR P2P!!!!!!,

Tor is designed for anonymous browsing. Its all these asshats trying to use it for p2p that has crippled the network into an almost unusable state. It is not fast enough for p2p period, heck its not even fast enough for surfing these days cos of people like you.

zarquon had enough lol this is the 10th person who said they use it. lol i mean y they get downloads at like 4 kB with it

No it does not.

I pointed emule's client ports to 9050 but something seems to be going wrong.

What do you think the proxy setting in emule is for?

Tor is designed for anonymous browsing. Its all these asshats trying to use it for p2p that has crippled the network into an almost unusable state.

People are going to use it for p2p. Telling them not to is not going to have a usefull effect. If the operators of TOR servers dons't want to carry p2p traffic they had better get busy writing some advanced traffic analysis software to block the comon p2p protocols.

I didnt mean for you guys to soil yourselfs.

First of all.. I was asking for help. Not an assualt.

Secondly I haven't even used it for emule yet because I was having a problem. I dont mind having downloads at 4kbs..

It just seemed like the safest thing to do.

Sorry. Ill look elsewhere.

Stop flaming people hes just asking for help. Anyways as zarquon already said you should not use TOR for filesharing. Im not a big fan of the ed2k network so heres my suggestion: If you think youre not safe downloading in the public, try getting yourself onto a private torrent site such as pisexy, torrentbytes, oink, demenoid, etc. Then download using a bittorrent client such as uTorrent.

[NekstBestThing]

Torrents eh?

How is that any safer then public? Either way it's all getting sent from one site to your pc, their is no middle man.. With the middle man.. It would look more safe to your IP, and if you somehow get in trouble with the law, you can say " I was just connnecting through a middle man" .. I dont even think they can trace it back to you when you do something like that, because the proxy or whatever is a dead end.

I'm mostly a music person, so I know ED2k is the best for me, but I'd be willing to check out private torrent sites if they keep me out of harms way.. I just want to be as safe as possible ( I know that Im never truely safe, Ive heard that speech)

[kokanezub]

i never heard of any one caught on mp2p us that

I have no idea what you are saying.

No way, bittorrent is the best for music, start of with somewhere like torrentspy, but if you can land an invite to oink, you've hit the jackpot music wise.

[NekstBestThing]

Well Alright thanks, but it still is unsafe as everything else.

[zarquon]

Well Alright thanks, but it still is unsafe as everything else.

Private trackers are far safer than public ones as the only people that can see your ip are fellow enforced seeders and it is highly unlikely that the riaa are big seeders on oink.

Second what zarquon said. If you somehow manage to get an oink invite (theyre hard but not impossible to get) then youll see how much better BT is for music than ed2k. If you dont want to use bittorrent for your music I would still not use ed2k but use Shareaza (Gnutella, Gnutella2, ed2k)

About the safety, I dont really think you need to worry about that. The possibility that youll get caught while using BT is very slim.

[NekstBestThing]

Where would I start then for getting an invite? This sounds alot safer then Ed2k, and I have ALOT to give to this kind of community.

I would never use the shareaza or gnutella network. I go for full albums, and the genre I listen to is rare as all hell to find, Ive had the best with ED2k.

Thanks for all of your help guys I appreciate it.
