    Thanks for the "Offtopic", mods. Nice one.
    If it's working for you, it might be that your records are still cached?

    It's the same from work too - so it's not my DNS config. I think someone has typed something wrong at Google.
  6. Re:why? on Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, I can't work this out either. The problem with torrents is not storing them safely, or downloading them safely. It's that when you start downloading a file using torrents, your IP address is known by the tracker which gives away the fact you're a downloader.
    Sure, store them on an AES-256 encrypted filesystem, sure, use SSL for the transfer. But it doesn't help the fact that the downloaders/uploaders are known.

    Absolutely. I too only have some old shit card (I don't even know what it is) that doesn't even run OpenGL. I wish it would. But I'm not buying Nvidia as when I installed the drivers on my work machine, I got random hard lockups.

  25. Hide the senders IP address. on Azureus Decentralizes Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    Nice work, but the thing that needs to be worked on is hiding the users IP addresses. How abuot bouncing ICMP packets with the data in the payload from hosts with the return address set to the recipient, and the source address set randomly? That way no-one knows the senders IP. You'd need some kind of out of band broadcast system for asking for files too.
