How to Become an Anonymous BitTorrent User

Got Root? writes (via TRFJ): “Yes folks, that horrible day for the RIAA/MPAA/(insert your favorite four letter word here) has really arrived, anonymous P2P is here. Yes, its been here in other forms, such as Ants and other P2P clients that implement an anonymous mesh, but thanks to some anonymous developer, there is now a version of the wildly popular bittorrent software that works completely anonymously. The client works with the i2Pexternal link (cache) anonymous network, which means that you can now run bit torrent with nary a worry. Seeds, trackers, bit torrent search engines, clients, you name it. Read on for more information about how to install it and get up and running.”
This is a timely How-To because Digital-Lifestyle reports today that a BitTorrent file sharer was recently arrested and fined $641 for distributing “Miss Congeniality,” “Daredevil,” and “Red Planet” in Hong Kong. If you ask me, they should have thrown him in jail for distributing those titles – LOL. Anyways, Got Root? does a fairly good job explaining what’s required to become anonymous (although it may be a bit too technical for most folks), but they also suggest checking out EFF’s sponsored project, Tor network, which they have also put together a How-To for.
