Regardless of a tracker being online the torrent will continue to download with the help of other users. The decentralization feature is key to Tribler because it enables users to search for files within the application, which then finds torrents through other peers instead of finding them from a central server. This is how the site explains its three layers of proxy shows how the latest version of Tribler works, the researchers still say they need to 'enhance' this Spamming is controlled due to decentralization Johan Pouwelse (Tribler’s lead reasearcher) says. If a lot of Tribler users turn out to be sharing and caring, the speed will be sufficient for a nice downloading experience,”Dr. It all depends on how social people are, meaning, if they leave Tribler running and help others automatically to become anonymous. “We are very curious to see how fast anonymous downloads will be. The anonymity feature may also affect transfer speeds depending on how much users are willing to share. There is a downside to this increase in privacy and its higher bandwith usage, because users themselves become proxies and have to relay transfers of other users. “That means you no longer have any exposure in any swarm, either downloading or seeding,” he adds. By using Tribler you become part of a Tor-like network and help others become anonymous,” Dr. “Tribler creates a new dedicated network for anonymity that is in no way connected to the main Tor network. When you’re using a standard torrent client your IP address is shown pubically but Tribler uses onion routing which means that its data is wrapped around multiple layers of encryption. Tribler also promises its users the highest degree of anonymity by allowing them to share material without exposing the first real IP address. The idea is to stop relying on central severs in a network (decentralization), using a network similar to the Tor network. What makes it different is that it doesn’t need to connect to a website to search for files, the whole process takes within the program itself. Tribler, as it’s called, is a torrent client like none other. The site itself states 'Privacy using our Tor-inspired onion routing', be sure to check out that warning too! Anonymity comes with a price But it seems researchers at Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) have finally found a solution in the shape of a robust BitTorrent client that they claim is impossible to shutdown. The shutdown of Pirate Bay just a few days ago shows how vulnerable the Torrent world is, as a single raid pulled down the largest torrent site of the world.
