btlaunchmanycurses and tor


When I do:

btlaunchmanycurses . --tracker-proxy 127.0.0.1:8118

I get Try X: died, retrying in Y

If I do not use the tracker proxy it downloads ok.

Also if I set the environment variable http_proxy to 127.0.0.1:8118 btdownloadcurses says "Problem connecting to tracker - timeout exceeded". If i unset this environment variable it downloads ok.

Tried with 9.10 and 9.04.

FYI:
Code:
fileserver:~/torrent_proxy_test> sudo netstat -pln | grep 8118
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8118          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      8764/privoxy

fileserver:~/torrent_proxy_test> sudo tail /var/log/privoxy/errorfile

Any ideas?

Yeah, best not use TOR for BT D/Ls. It's not what TOR was made for, the bandwidth isn't there and TOR admins prolly won't like it either.

I already knew you wouldn't understand. In this order please carefully read:
http://www.torproject.org/faq-abuse.html
http://www.chrisbrunner.com/?p=119
http://www.joselise.com/wp/2006/07/2...nd-bittorrent/
http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/howto...-some-pitfalls <- especially this one
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/doc/A.../howto_0.5.htm
and maybe:
http://torrentfreak.com/free-anonymo...linder-090611/
http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-h...ia-tor-090725/
http://www.i2p2.de/
for possible alternatives. I hope these shows you it ain't worth it for various reasons. And if you need a snack after all of that maybe see http://arxiv4.library.cornell.edu/pdf/1004.1267v1.

Ok fair enough, I see the problem and your right I shouldn't use tor for such things when I have a perfectly good dynamic proxy list - I guess it was the challenge to get tor/bt working that I liked.
