Hi,
Just tried Tribler (from the experimental 6.6.0 prerelease deb that doesn’t need wxgtk 2.8) and I’m a bit confused about the tunneled downloads through exit nodes. I tried adding an “external torrent” through a magnet link, made sure the box was ticked for downloading anonymously. It started downloading at a rate of over a MB/s, I see many peers using Vuze, uTorrent, etc. in the peers tab but I can also see with a traffic monitor that rather than using a proxy my computer is exchanging packets directly with these peers and it kinda looked like some of it was data from the torrent. Tried another too and again there were some packets but it did seem like downloads were happening even while I wasn’t communicating directly…
Is this how it’s supposed to work, is there some communication directly to the peers even when proxied? How can I make sure I’m not downloading directly?
