Deluge and Peer Guardian 2

Post by Killa_Charlie »

I was having some problems with uTorrent so in a fit of rage I uninstalled it and replaced my bit torrent client with Deluge. I love it and so far it seems a lot more versatile with its plug ins and such. How ever, one thing I noticed is that when running Deluge and Peer Guardian 2 at the same time PG2 seems a lot... quieter. There aren't as many blocks popping up and and I'm starting to think that I'm not as "anonymous" as before. I am aware that Deluge has a built in blocker, but I have it disabled since I couldn't get the danged thing to block more than one list at a time, and even then it wasn't all that much compared to PG2.


So should I be justified in my worrying?

Probably quite the opposite, since utorrent is not open source, who knows how many 'evil entities' may be trying/looking in on what you're doing.
I'd figure since you have one blocklist program for the entire system it is probably enough.

Well, before hand when I got blocked ips it was from all sorts of places. But now its just Comcast every once and a while. How would an application being open source or not effect this kind of thing?

Open source meaning that they couldn't too easily hide things to monitor your usage or report your usage to say... the mpaa or the riaa.

Ok, I think I'm starting to figure it out. Thanks.
