Email Torrents

In addition to enacting the six-strikes law, many USA internet providers have made it difficult to access and download torrents from popular torrent websites. This includes companies like Time Warner Cable, Comcast Xfinity, AT&T, Verizon Fios and Charter Communications.These (and other) ISP's may actively monitor your internet activity, even beyond the extend required by law. Most use a technique called ' which allows them to see the actual content of your transferred data, and even to selectively log, throttle or block that traffic.Torrent/p2p packets are among the most commonly blocked. And some ISP's (such as Comcast) are trying to actively Block all torrent uploads.We'll teach you how to make your torrents virtually unblockable.

That is, they'll see how much of it is email, web browsing, video chat. On their behalf) actually go online and seek out torrents of their material,. The PirateBay is one of the best torrent search engine used worldwide. TPB includes pirated material in the form of magnet links for software, movies, and music. 1337x — 1337x.to If you love sites like pirate bay and KickAss, 1337x would be your go-to torrent download site.

You'll also learn step-by-step tips to make your torrent activity and download history anonymous. Hint: Use one ofThis Guide Covers:Current torrent/p2p policies for all major USA-based Internet Providers. Comcast. Time Warner Cable. AT&T.

CenturyLink. Verizon FiosInformation your ISP may logHow to download torrents anonymously in the USA (using a VPN) Comcast Torrent Policy & Data Retention.

Comcast doesn't publicly share their data retention policy, however an internal handbook which states that they keep a historical record of subscriber IP addresses for 6 months (page 10).We didn't find a specific reference to whether they do or don't ever log historical website visits (it would be quite easy to do). Also, there's evidence that most ISPs have some level of cooperation with national intelligence agencies (such as the NSA) so this information may well be shared without directly residing on Comcast's servers. Time Warner is one of the most forthcoming internet providers in the USA regarding their data logging policies. Their website has a page. These pages shed light on exactly what information Time Warner records about your online activity.We couldn't find any statements regarding DNS logging (which would expose your web browsing history). However it's clear that Time Warner keeps IP Address Logs for at least 6 months (showing which IP address(es) have been assigned to your account).As a result, any IP address monitored in a torrent swarm can easily be traced back to that TWC subscriber, unless you take steps to while torrenting.

While have questioned if Time Warner is throttling torrents, there isn't overwhelming evidence that there are. TWC certainly doesn't block torrents, and they are still accessible. As a former TWC subscriber, I was able to max-out a 15mbps connection while downloading torrents.I did notice throttling on streaming video such as Youtube/Netflix but it didn't appear to affect Torrents.Time Warner doesn't officially ban bittorrent activity, however they do require you to download legal torrents, and obey copyright law. They do comply with DMCA laws and were participants in the Six-Strikes copyright agreement that now is.Recommendation: to encrypt your torrent traffic and prevent monitoring by Time Warner. This will also mask your IP address in torrent swarms. We have setup guides for,. AT&T Torrent Policy & Data Retention.

AT&T is relatively opaque regarding their data retention policies. They never responded to (despite multiple contacts). Posted by the ACLU suggests that AT&T keeps IP address records for 1 year.On a positive note, the document classifies historical web browsing records and download history as 'Not Available'. So they may not directly monitor and log your DNS requests.Don't get too excited however. There is alot of anecdotal evidence to suggest that AT&T's infrastructure has deep ties to the NSA spy agency, especially in a major NYC building which is also an international data hub. From The Intercept sheds provides a fascinating look at potential collaboration.

Of course the NSA isn't technically​ allowed to spy on US citizens. AT&T doesn't block or ban torrenting on their mobile or broadband networks. However, about disconnecting accounts that download illegal files repeatedly. It seems that unlike Comcast they did a good job of complying with the (which we applaud).However there are some concerns over p2p throttling at AT&T. That AT&T had filed for an Internet 'Fast lane' patent that also had implications regarding torrents.

The stated goal was to internally seed torrents on AT&T's own network in order maximize efficiency and save bandwidth. Of course, the existence of a 'Fast Lane' also implies that there's a 'Slow Lane'. That sounds alot like.Monitoring: The same patent also explicitly relies on the ability of AT&T to 'Monitor' P2P and torrent downloads on their network. This is something that all ISPs have the ability to do.

But most internet providers choose not to actively monitor filesharers, other than DPI analysis for bandwidth shaping. Century Link Torrent Policy & Data Retention.

Details exactly what information they store, but not how long they keep it for. It sounds like the retention period could be user-dependent, ranging from 'days' to indefinitely.Furthermore, it appears that in some circumstances, Centurylink may monitor/log the actual content of your internet activity, such as files downloaded and websites visited.

This is more invasive than most ISPs.Here's an excerpt.In limited circumstances, we need to look into the content of the data (such as the specific websites being visited, files being transmitted, or applications being used). Unfortunately, Verizon has one of the longest data retention periods of any USA-based ISP. As of 2012, IP address assignments were kept for at least 18 months (1.5 years).

It's not clear whether Verizon monitors/logs your web browsing history. They do however force the use of Verizon DNS servers (unless you specify your own) which makes it extremely easy for them to monitor the websites you visit. Most corporate DNS servers (like Verizon's) will keep some sort of logs, likely including the DNS record and the requesting IP address.

Verizon does allow torrenting but they are also participants in the (now defunct) six-strikes copyright alert system. As a result, users are expected to act responsibly and download legal torrent files.shows Fios's escalating response to repeated 'six-strikes' violations, which get progressively harsher up to the 5th & 6th alerts which will reduce speeds to 256kbps (basically dial-up speeds). They do seem to stop short of cutting off internet access altogether, though that may have changed after the. So HOw can you keep your ISP from monitoring your Torrents? Your internet provider is only able to monitor your web history and torrent downloads because they have full access to your data stream. All traffic flows through their servers before reaching the rest of the internet.But what if you could encrypt all your data before it goes to your ISP?Then they wouldn't be able to block, monitor, or throttle anything.

Your web browsing history would be private, and they wouldn't know what torrents you're downloading (or whether you're using p2p/bittorrent at all).That's why we recommend all USA-based filesharers use a high quality torrent Virtual Private Network service (VPN) to mask your torrent IP address and encrypt your entire internet connection.Why Use a VPN?. Cheap - priced as low as $3.33/month, 1/10th the cost of your average high-speed internet. Easy to use - connect to any torrent-friendly server location in 1 click.

Anonymous - Access to 100's or 1000's of IP addresses to mask your real IP in torrent swarms.Easiest option: We usually recommend people try as their first VPN. They're than basically everyone else (for unlimited plans) and are one of the world's most torrent-friendly VPN companies. If you have an ultra-high bandwidth connection (100Mbps+) then go with. Recommended VPNs for ANonymous Torrents in the USA. Is also now a true logless VPN (they adopted a zero-log policy in 2014).

Feature-wise, IPVanish is almost identical to PIA. They have software for all major platforms (desktop/mobile) and all plans include a Socks5 proxy., IPVanish is a pricier option than PIA. But there's a good reason: IPVanish is insanely fast, and they have access to one of the largest data backbones in the USA. This is why IPVanish tops our list of the.More Info: for a full overview as well as setup instructions for their Socks5 proxy (in uTorrent, Vuze, etc).Compare:Additional Reading & Resources.

Hi all,First off: thanks to the uTorrent team for an EXCELLENT function-rich, simple and lightweight piece of software. There should be more software developed this way.In my quest to make my entertainment center setup(s) automated, I wanted to automatically handle my torrents. I got tired of all the manual but repetitive extracting, moving, copying, and deleting, so I created two batch scripts to handle this. One for new downloads and one for deleting old torrents, and they get parameters directly from uTorrent.Under uTorrent preferences - Advanced - Run Program I have it set up like this:For 'Run this program when a torrent finishes', I have the following. C:scriptsdeletescript.bat '%D' '%N' '%S' '%K' '%F' deletelog.txtThe output of the scripts is piped into logfiles for debugging purposes.Scripts follow in posts 2 and 3.Note: These are Windows batch scripts (.bat files). I don't have much experience with win batch programming but I quickly realized that it certainly has its limitations, especially with respect to dealing with strings and quotation marks for example. If anyone decides to check this out and make a Unix/shell script version, I'd like to have it, as I may go that route if I continue to expand the scripts.

Here is the first script, torrentscript.bat, which handles newly downloaded torrents.It is fairly customized for my use, so everything may not be entirely logical to everyone. Feel free to suggest changes, and of course ask questions if anything needs clarification.Essentially it uses the label to determine the type of download, and extracts or copies files accordingly.If type cannot be determined by label it checks for files to copy.The 'rem' comments in the scripts below are intended to do some explaining. The trickiest part is the label prefix logic - I use labels with slashes for shows to determine the destination path.

So that for example a torrent with label 'ShowsBoardwalk Empire' can be extracted/copied to D:ShowsBoardwalk Empire.Winrar needs to be installed for extraction of rars. I recommend reading the script in an editor such as Notepad to make it easier to read, with color coding and all.Code. @echo offtitle Axmans torrent-file scriptrem Parameter usage: fromdir torrent-name label kind filenamerem corresponds to uTorrents flags:%D%N%L%K%Fecho.echo Run on%date% at%time%set fromdir=%1set name=%2set label=%3set kind=%4set filename=%5set savepartition=D:set moviedir=%savepartition%Moviesset musicdir=%savepartition%Musicset labelprefix='echo Input:%fromdir%%name%%label%%kind%%filename%rem Determine length of label stringecho.%label%lenfor%%a in (len) do set /a len=%%za -2rem This is to pick up if label begins with 'Shows' (ex. Again, do yourself a favor and read the scripts in an editor if you want to try to go through the logic.Also, uTorrent 3.0 is required for this to work due to the parameters.Some things I'd like to implement next is a way of sending notifications to my phone when handling a torrent.

The script currently updates a log file with torrent name date and time, but thats it. I could use a command line email client and email myself, but all the outgoing servers I use (gmail for example) use TLS encryption and the simple command line email programs dont play well with encryption, so I'd have to set up an emailserver on my machine, which isnt worth the hassle imo.All comments and improvement suggestions are most welcome!

Those scripts are awesome! Thanks!Miranda is a pretty garden-variety IM client, with the unique exception that it supports sending messages via the CLI, so it is great for this application.

It is compatible with all of the major IM protocols (AIM, ICQ, etc) so it can message you on your phone over one of those. I have a private XMPP/Jabber network running in my office (OpenFire on W2K3) so that we can IM each other without the network being open to the public and spimmers and such, so I have utorrent/Miranda using that instead and I installed Xabber on my phone to receive the messages.The main downside to Miranda is that the configuration dialogue is anything but intuitive. It takes some patience to find your way around and set up. It works great once you get it going, though. C:DevelopmentScriptsutorrenttorrentscript.bat '%D' '%N' '%L' '%K' '%F' C:DevelopmentScriptsutorrenttorrentlog.txtI've made the sub label parsing more robust for different length labels. I don't currently do much with the suffix but it's there if you need it.I also copy over the subs folder manually and the nfo file as too many downloads annoyingly didn't have the nfo in the rar,I also do some post processing to update my plex media server (if you're not using it then why not?!?!) I do nearly all my downloading using newsgroups with sickbeard, couchpotato and SABnzbd. These uTorrent scripts are just for problem episodes or movies, MMA, training and software.

To update Plex I use wget which is part of GNUwin This can all be deleted if you do not require it.This is not perfect, there is code that I don't really make use of currently but it's there as I will be changing in the future. There's certainly bits that could be cleaner so expect to get a little dirty. Obviously you'll need to update the script with your locations. Most of the variables are up top in the 'Set Variables' section, please change to your requirements.

HI,Some features I want are:Checksums to verify itegrityTrigger anti-virus scanautomatic sorting of files into appropriate directories for my media serversautomatic deletion of torrents after seeding //plan on using uTorrent to seed to a ratio and then deleting //torrent when%S 11(finished)automatic deletion of torrents that fail to downloadI'm not really your man for this but I do have to say that many of your goals are already reached with uTorrent out of the box. Checksums are part of the bitorrent protocol. Your anti-virus should be checking all downloads as standard.For the rest you can use this work as a basis for deleting the torrents. I'm sure you can work out the sorting from the scripts above.Good luck.

Firstly, thanks for the script!

I have modified it slightly to work for me, I have no idea how the label part works unfortunately. The rest of it is pretty straight forward, I wish I could work it out because I'd like to do the same with music as what is being done with shows. Ie rather than showsshownameseason.

I would like musicartistalbum, not a big deal I do a bit of manual work with music anyway.I also send myself an email once a torrent is finished seeding so that I know to remove it from utorrent (working on automating this) using stunnel and blat. It works well.Emailing from cmd line -I also run utorrent on my xbmc and when the scripts would run it would make the cmd line window active, to get around this you invoke the command line from a vbs script. Just grab the script from the following thread and then where you have specified the scripts in utorrent just refer to the vbs first. You will see what I mean.Thanks again!
