Dow can I use deluge without my ISP threatening me?
Posted: Wed Aug 26, 2020 7:59 am
SUMMARY:
I'm a basic PC user. I am getting letters from my ISP (Xfinity) telling me to stop torrenting. I want them off my back, so:
1. What is the bare minimum I need to do so they stop sending emails/letters?
2. What are the core basic things I can do (settings/etc.) so that I get optimal speed and efficiency?
Speedtest.net results: download: 45mbps (put sometimes hits 75), upload: 6mbps (but sometimes hits 8)
Preface:
Using: Windows 10 (updated) McaFee Total Protection, Window Defender, Dell XPS 13 9360, Deluge Client: 1.3.15/libtorrent: 1.0.11.0 (DL recent).
Torrents: YTS, YST
Goals
Primary Goal: To torrent with deluge and have my ISP leave me alone
Secondary Goal: to setup Deluge properly so that it's as fast and efficient as it can be (while)
Tertiary Goal: (and) anonymous enough so that my ISP gets of my back (whilst) paying $0 for anything (i.e. VPN)
Introduction:
I'm just a basic PC user. I don't know how to change code, use python, glade, linux and I am pretty new to bittorrent.
I read these primers:
https://www.rapidseedbox.com/kb/ultimat ... uide#speed
https://www.best-bittorrent-vpn.com/how ... ously.html
and a bunch of posts of the forum regarding how to never seed, or stop seeding, when ratio reaches, changing ratio from 0.5 (default) to 0 etc. etc.
Proxy: SOCKS5, "High" Anonymity, Speed: 1480ms, Loccation: US IP: (changes often) 184.185.2.149 (port) 4145
Proxy List used: https://hidemy.name/en/proxy-list/?coun ... non=4#list
Story
Now I have changed several things since my wife started getting emails from Xfinity. I have been torrenting (aggressively) for 3 days on, 3 days off, 3 days on. So 6 days in total but non-continuous. During that time I have experimented with changed many values/settings.
Xfinity emailed us within days of my first torrent. Mistake? I wasn't used "forced" encyption, and it wasn't "full stream".
Changed it to forced and full stream. So in theory that combined with SOCKS5 Proxy (or maybe even without proxy) could be enough to where my ISP stops threatening/tracking my torrenting
What I don't want is a result where they stay on me which either result in: lawsuit, internet shutoff, or a bunch more notices (which will make my wife freak out and that's reason enough to resolve this, lol). Plus I want to keep my internet. Not many ISP's around here. Everyone uses Xfinity it seems in Colorado Springs (thought I am moving to Phoenix AZ in a month).
Questions:
Now I don't know what "high" anonymity means on hidemy.name. ANYONE?
Or if someonbody knows a better free list/method?
If I could have deluge use an add on to auto select a proxy that is: SOCKS5, Anonymous Enough, and Fast/Reliable. That would be nice.THOUGHTS?
Also does ANYONE know, if a proxy IP changes or otherwise stops working, what does Deluge do/default to ???
The Proxy is NULL and VOID if I can torrent without my ISP being on me.
ISP leaving me alone in priority #1!
UPDATE:
I accomplished 2 major things TODAY that may affect this:
1. I changed "stop seeding when share ratio reaches" from "0.5" to "0.0" (remove torrent is checked, total active seeding is 0)
This effectively stopped finished downloads from seeding once they are finished (among other things?). They used to seed immediately
2. As stated above I changed encryption to BOTH I/O FORCED and FULL STREAM
NOTES/QUESTIONS:
-last email from ISP (Xfinity) was BEFORE I did the 2 above
-when I view the per torrent settings it shows:
"stop seed at ratio: 0.5". Now I can change this to zero and try to select all, but it seems to keep coming back. "remove at ratio, checked, no #" AND all per torrrent bandwidth seems to be set at unlimited
^^^DOES not the above contradict the 0.0 ratio set in general queue settings? Does this put me on ISP radar?
-I read that torrents can still LEECH while they are downloading, even though they don't SEED when the download is finished and auto-queued.
Is this true? Does this put me on ISP radar? If so how do I change it exactly?
ALSO
I'm MORE than willing to seed or leech some as long as:
1. My ISP gets off my back
2. it's doesn't slow down my DL and internet speeds too much
I have 5 screenshots of my settings I am willing to share if that helps regarding all ideal settings being correct.
Can anyone take a look and help me make sure all my settings are ideal?
***(I'd be glad to share all 5 of them but I first want to make sure it's safe, okay conduct, and wanted info)
