Browse Torrents Anonymously at Mass-Torrent.com
August 25, 08 by sharky 5,181 views
Restrictions brought on by your ISP or network (workplace, school or global location) may result in the inability to surf certain torrent sites. Perhaps your IP address has been banned by a tracker (and the website) for inappropriate behavior. Or maybe you’d just feel much safer being anonymous while surfing torrent sites. Bypassing all this is simple enough - just visit an anonymous web proxy (or CGI proxy) such as anonymouse.org, type in the URL and start torrenting. But if you’re a heavy torrent user you may find this to be a major hassle.
Mass-Torrent.com solves this by incorporating a torrent site search paralleled with anonymous browsing. What makes this service unique is that all searching is conducted through the Mass Torrent Proxy, but the results are displayed through an anonymized webpage of the actual torrent site. And it’s fast, too! Unlike most public web proxy services, you probably won’t even notice a difference in pageload times.
Security
With all the heat that public trackers are going through, downloading torrents may not be the only concern. Most (if not all) torrent sites log the IP addresses of those who visit, conduct searches and download torrents. With Mass Torrent, your real IP will be hidden when browsing torrent sites - you never have to communicate directly with the target server.
Unlike many web-based services that use just one proxy, it’s worth mentioning that Mass Torrent uses multiple (and random) ones. During one browser session you’re likely to have been cloaked behind a multitude of proxies - Mass Torrent scans web proxy lists and incorporates a freshly rotated assortment for added anonymity.
Notes:
— While browsing a torrent site via Mass Torrent, you’ll be able to create an account at a public tracker such as Mininova, Isohunt or TPB (and log in anonymously). In most cases you’ll still be required to activate the new account through an email message link. For this, use an anonymous gmail account, and log into it through a web proxy before clicking on the confirmation link. This also works well for signing up to public tracker discussion forums.
— Regardless of whether you’re logged in or not, you will not be able to upload torrents to mininova while browsing the site through Mass-Torrent.com. Mininova (as do most others) does not allow for web-proxied torrent uploading - for a good reason.

Right. Scammers are complete retards, and would never have known how to do it, if it wasn’t for this post. In reality, scammers are very resourceful and computer-savvy individuals who have a better-than-average working knowledge of just about everything related to computers. Just ask any blackhatter or payperinstall / Luxecash member.

I hate when people suggest the suppression of information because it could be used for people who are up to no good. Freedom of information increases the need for more information. For example, the underground trains in London uses a smartcard system for travel. A dutch university has worked out how to crack the system to get free travel. The company that runs the system wanted to force the university to keep the information quiet (a judge ruled otherwise). Now the company must create a new, more secure system. Information helps innovation and the progression of technology. NEVER suggest it should be suppressed!

@Paul Revere
There will always be people abusing torrent tracker uploads. Rather they use some type of of proxy software installed on their computer or any other means.There is no way around it.
I believe that you are missing the point of the article. Actually see this link http://mass-torrent.com/why-mass-torrent which was an article in regards to users being fined for things that they uploaded to youtube by the MPAA. As any other site, your IP is logged 99% of the time when you login or upload something so site admins can ban you for wrongful doing, or to track torrent ratios which is how Demonoid uses for their ratio system. Not a good system, but they use it.
Mass-Torrent was actually a public tracker at one time using btiteam.org. That being the reason if you go to http://mass-torrent.com/comments you will see old members asking if we were going to bring the tracker site back. Well, it did not happen. The reason for that is, I became a MPAA victim for hosting the tracker. Slapped with a fine and all that good stuff. So I decided to say f**k them, if they wanted to mess with me in that way, they I will mess with them back the legal way. After two days of coding, the new mass-torrent.com was born so that users of the site would fall victim to these MPAA f**ks as I did.
So let me ask you one thing. What is more important. A bad torrent being uploaded for someone to download, which is going to happen anyway. With or with out mass-torrent.com or receiving a knock on the door with a legal document to appear in court to only be sued by MPAA. That sir, is really not an hard choice and if it is, then you need help. Considering I went through the process that is described.
Yes, there is some consequences that Mass-Torrent.com might bring upon trackers for moderating their users, just as any other proxy type software will for any site, but honestly, I believe safety while browsing their site as a user of a site is more important to a tracker site admin. You never know when MPAA will knock on their door one day and have a legal document making them give up their users IP’s and if one of those IP’s are yours. You can come back and reflect on this artice and say, I was an idiot for making that comment.

how is a gmail account anonymous?
they log everything and store cookies that die in 40 years, then cross-reference your mail with your google searches, ads displayed with adwords, youtube videos doubleclick cookies google desktop searches..
anonymous? hmmm…

there was no need for that to be said
