Downloading of movies, songs, software and games is nothing new; rather, the phenomenon has become a huge rage in the recent past. A majority of the internet users living on a broadband connection have managed to download a large-sized file (movie, album, games, etc) more than once. When downloading large-sized files, a browser download is not preferred as it lacks benefits like pausing of downloads, bandwidth throttling, etc. The most popular form of downloading would be the use of the peer-to-peer, file sharing protocol called BitTorrent. BitTorrent downloads are encapsulated as torrent files and these are downloaded using any of the available BitTorrent clients like uTorrent, Vuze, etc.

While downloading torrents is pretty easy, One of the inherent problems with BitTorrent downloads is that the privacy is not maintained most of the time. The traffic maybe sniffed either at the ISP level or by business rivals or by organizational firewalls, etc. This leads to clear identification of traffic patterns and downloads of a particular end-user. In order to circumvent this, it’s best to use a secure download method, most particularly over a SSH tunnel. This kind of download is readily facilitated by TorrentPrivacy which specializes in a service that exactly fits the secure download of torrent traffic without revealing personal stats.

TorrentPrivacy offers load of features which help in maintaining the privacy like:

- Doesn’t require any configuration on a web portal. It requires the download of the configured torrent client and that’s it. Torrent downloads there upon from that client will be done securely without divulging personal data.

- The download from the website already includes the client configured to work over SSH. So, secure download can start as soon as the setup is done.

- It also provides secure access to trackers through their web-proxy tracker access.

- The major advantage is the encrypted secure connection which it offers for BitTorrent downloads by leveraging the SSH protocol.

- Privacy is also guaranteed when downloading torrents with TorrentPrivacy.

- In case of a broken connection, automatic restoration is guaranteed.

- Speeds up to 100 Mbps without bandwidth capping.

TorrentPrivacy software includes a configured secure uTorrent client. The configured client creates a secure tunnel by using the SSH protocol and all the traffic that goes through this tunnel is fully encrypted. This ensures total privacy and protection from torrent monitors. Also, a special proxy is provided for most of the world trackers in order to conceal the IP address in case the tracker is inspected.

Payment options include a trial at $2.95 for a week. In the event of using it for more than a week, it is charged at $9.95 per month or $99.95 per year.

3.) Once you are connected, You will be asked to run secure configured torrent client. Its important to note that only through this client, all your downloads will be private, at the same time all downloads made through another clients will be non private.
