Wizards AnonymousSome information regarding an a approach to #Anonymization with the recent outage situation of #Tribler for #Torrent over #Tor. Trying to figure this all out so we can be in a better position with #Security and #Privacy through #OpenSource :) https://www.patreon.com/posts/anonymization-151846394
In related news to the #Tribler outage, I have started researching #torrent traffic over #I2P. #Emissary had a few missing dependencies on Alpine Linux 3.23.3, which were solvable through apk (I have this documented for anyone interested). The #qbittorrent setup was a piece of cake. Does anyone happen to know how to test that *only* I2P traffic is being sent through qbittorrent? Also unsure where to find torrents on I2P. Also, how does DNS work when using an I2P http proxy for I2P addresses?
Hours spent yesterday trying to troubleshoot why #Tribler didn't seem to be able to connect to any trackers or peers. Other torrent clients were working fine on the same device. After reading the Tribler release notes from 2025.12.16 and 2026.01.21 it appears that #InternetServiceProviders have been blocking #Tor exit nodes which restricts safer browsing / traffic on the clear net of the internet. Was going to submit an issue but found that someone else already had https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/8906.
Woozle HypertwinI don't understand enough about torrents (yet) to know if it makes sense that I could have two different machines trying to access the same torrent and yet only one of them is having any success -- and, most notably, the other one isn't even copying over the content that the first one has managed to snag.
Is that just a thing that happens, when you're running Tribler behind a NAT wall? Or do I maybe have something configured wrong?
Domdel AKA DataDes soucis ,avec #Tribler ?
Pour les torrents, j'utilise #Tribler que je trouve vraiment très bien.
@roytam1 @henryleo @asherpen 有个软件叫tribler。Privacy enhanced BitTorrent client with P2P content discovery 隐私增强型的Bittorrent客户端程序，内置搜索和内容发现机制。

你可以开个频道，长期打开电脑挂着，一口气挂个几个月，慢慢地你看到一些从没见过的新频道。新频道里面有漫画、电影、程序软件安装包、游戏安装文件、音乐…… 你也建个私人频道，向陌生人分享你的文件。
传统的 #P2P 软件依赖 #Tracker 服务器，很多Tracker服务器是钓鱼服务器，服务器会看到你的真实IP地址。不仅仅是Tracker服务器能查到你的真实IP地址，跟你连上同一个Tracker服务器的电脑也能查到你的IP地址。就算你愿意牺牲速度，完全不用tracker服务器，完全依赖DHT，网上的陌生对等节点也能看到你的IP地址。tribler 在传统的P2P文件下载软件的基础上做了改进。你的电脑不会直接连上陌生的对等端节点，而是优先连上另一个tribler用户的节点。把另一个 #tribler 用户当作代理跳板，另一个 tribler 用户帮你中转数据。数据是加密的，有认证的，还有反滥用算法的。作者试图利用反滥用算法+流量控制算法去挫败吸血行为。只下载不上传会被扣掉积分，你的下载速度会变慢。
因此，网上的陌生的对等端节点现在看不到你真实的IP地址。这让运营商追踪你的家庭住址和真实IP地址变得难一些。有点像某匿名网络里的三重代理。在 tribler 里，你可以选择一层代理，可以选择两层代理，也可以选择三重代理。代理现在变成免费的。你的BT下载虽然变慢了，但是跟踪你的难度变高了。传统的深度数据包检测DPI，在性能方面限制，要跟踪你的流量去向，要消耗CPU的资源。多重代理理论上会让跟踪变得难一些。

Eve VentuallyEvery time my Ubuntu Studio 2024 computer does a "system upgrade" and I reboot, Tribler pretends everything I've downloaded needs to be downloaded again.
Based on context, I can mostly assume it's not actually re-downloading everything but, whatever it is doing, relies on the availability of other seeders so stuff can get hung up indefinitely if I'm the only other seeder online for it that item.
For the bulk of what I'm seeding (example: linux mint ISOs and mediawiki zim to help provide redundancy for those projects), this isn't an issue. But Ubuntu LTS likes to do multiple "upgrades" a week so this is kind of a pain in the ass.
I'm currently on 8.0.7 (latest stable version as of 2 minutes ago) and I'm still salty about the removal of the Desktop client.

In un mondo ideale internet sarebbe un posto decentralizzato, sicuro e libero da occhi indiscreti. Per questo motivo uso Tribler https://github.com/Tribler/tribler per i miei torrent: funziona un po' come Tor, ovvero i pacchetti viaggiano tra diversi nodi della rete prima di arrivare a destinazione. Questo rende i torrent incensurabili ed è impossibile risalire ai peer reali.
#flatpak / #flathub has saved my #Magical #Bacon with #Tribler. Unfortunately the flathub version of #OliveEditor just #SegmentationFaults. :(
