tribler VS Transmission

I noticed that too:

https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/wiki/%22TrustChain%22-arc...

But not much else about it. Would be interested to read more. Using torrent seeding as a form of Proof-of-Work that rewards tokens is actually an interesting use case for cryptocurrency, and not as energy-hungry.

> 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. Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption.

I first thought "Is Justin Bieber gay?" in their release was some kind of vandalism of their release, but no, they pose that question as a vehicle for how their software is attempting to solve(?) trusted tagging

Tribler is made exactly for decentralized sharing of torrents. Wikipedia describes it as an overlay network for content searching. It doesn't seem to have enough content the few times i've tried it, but it should exactly be the solution for centralized tracker/torrent sites.

There's a torrent client called tribler that is basically Tor but built for torrenting

You kid, but our research group developed Tribler which is a safer, more privacy-oriented torrenting client for BitTorrent networks. We have many Ph.Ds who literally are professional pirates :D

Wish more people would use Tribler.

Tribler does it all, and anonymously.

Why bake libtransmission into the app instead of just using the transmission daemon's RPC?

What you've done actually makes it harder to use, because in order to configure any of transmission's settings (ports, connection/torrent connection limits, bandwith limits, etc) the user needs to dig around to find the transmission config folder and then manually edit JSON with a text editor - because your client doesn't expose any of transmissions numerous settings [1] to the user except for choosing the download folder.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to use this instead of Flood [2] or even old Transmission Web Control [3]

Grab this file. Install Transmission on Mac or Deluge on Win. Optional: run a VPN if you're in the US(mostly) and worried about your ISP sending you a cease-and-desist notice. Open the file using the app you installed. Wait. It should start within a minute or two and download progress will be seen. Speed depends on how many people are sharing it. Any issues, let me know.

Why "NO TORRENT"? Just get TransmissionBT and torrent whatever you want

Its intresting you mention that, before reading your reply I went and created a post in the Q n A section, asking for help about this very thing and I linked to the same GitHub issue you linked to here. I have yet to get a reply lol.here

transmission can run as a headless server with a web gui

Get a VPN like Windscribe(set windscribe firewall to on instead of auto), forward your port via their website. Use a good torrent client like https://transmissionbt.com/ set that port in the options, and add a blocklist https://github.com/Naunter/BT\_BlockLists/raw/master/bt\_blocklists.gz
