Tribler v8.4.0

Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.

We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications plus merged them with Bittorrent streaming.

Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption, detailed specs:

The aim of Tribler is giving anonymous access to online (streaming) videos. We are trying to make privacy, strong cryptography and authentication the Internet norm.

Tribler currently offers a Youtube-style service. For instance, Bittorrent-compatible streaming, fast search, thumbnail previews and comments. For the past 11 years we have been building a very robust Peer-to-Peer system. Today Tribler is robust: "the only way to take Tribler down is to take The Internet down" (but a single software bug could end everything).

ISP's are not liable for torrenters and media pirates, and customers' copyright infringement Supreme Court unanimously rules. This is going to piss off the movie and music industry. #news #Laws #Torrent #bittorrent #USpol Sony loses a billion dollar judgement in their favor.

I find it hilarious that the euphemism of using bittorrent to seed linux/bsd isos may actually become not a euphemism anymore if they start outlawing what I imagine would come to be called "anonymous distros" (they don't report your identity to government run APIs)

Am I the only one who wants to make a #CyberSix #AMV with the actual full-lenght theme?

I binged the #Anime and I can basically find matching scenes from memory based off the lyrics.

Might even put it up on #BitTorrent & #IPFS…

>And this is exactly why Linux distributions have been distributing ISOs using torrents for years. Aside from the sort of piracy thing, that's the other thing that BitTorrent gets used a lot for, and it means that the small organizations throwing up their own Linux distro can distribute it without it completely crashing their tiny servers.

You're not wrong :P Pic related. It annoys me that #tails @tails recently moved away from having torrents as a form of downloading.

>Yeah, it makes me, think about, and something I've thought about before but haven't really explored is you know how when you go on Archive.org and there's a file, and one of your options is just to download a torrent. Why don't we do that for institutional repositories and data repositories?

That's one of my favourite parts of the Internet Archive :D

>Because those are starting to get big. I mean, I know one of the reasons is because, like, we use proprietary software for our institutional repository and Clarabate and Elsevier don't want to support that.

Elsevier, the bane of my academic existence.

Also, vis-a-vis webseeds... what's stopping a Tor onion service from being the HTTP(S) endpoint? Those are pretty damn hard to bring down (from a legal standpoint). I'd assume the main limitation is that BitTorrent clients don't speak "onion service," but that's a fixable problem. Hell, what's stopping the trackers themselves from being onion services?
