Deluge and Peer Guardian 2

[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?

[loki]

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.
