Download Torrents Anonymously with TorrentPrivacy

Privacy has always been a major concern for BitTorrent users and there are only a few ways to remain anonymous. By using a secure connection, as the new TorrentPrivacy tool offers, you can bypass almost every firewall or traffic shaping application, while making sure that nobody can see what you’re downloading.
torrent privacyThe TorrentPrivacy software has been developed so that anybody can use it, from BitTorrent novices through to experts. TorrentPrivacy uses a pre-configured version of v1.7.7 uTorrent, so there are no settings that have to be entered manually.
It pretty much works straight out of the box. First you have to chose a connection point – at the moment they have servers in Europe, USA, Canada. The closer the connection point is to your true location, the faster the speeds you will get from the service. Then, after you’ve chosen a connection point, just click connect and the program will connect to the server. The connection is made through the SSH protocol with 128bit encryption, which prevents traffic shaping and keeps your traffic ambiguous to prying eyes.

Torrent Privacy – Is It a Scam?

if you want to know the truth, read on...

I'm sure you already heard of a service called Torrent-Privacy.com, which promises completely anonymous and secure torrent downloads, while circumventing ISP BitTorrent throttling.
You probably already know it…
These days, more and more people are getting sued while downloading and end up paying hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Now, we here at Torrent Review have seen almost every single anonymization service out there, and trust me – Most of them are difficult to use, insecure and slow.
But this one was new to us.
Can they be trusted, or is it a ripoff?
We wanted to find out and signed up for an account.
So, how does it work?
When you download with an usual torrent client, your IP can be seen by everyone, including the copyright industry and other harmful people. Plus, most of the times your downloads will be unencrypted, meaning your ISP may spy on your traffic.
Torrent Privacy provides you with a special version of uTorrent, which transfers all the data through an encrypted connection to the Torrent Privacy servers, thus making you completely anonymous.
