It would help if most bittorrent trackers enforced sharing ratios of around 1:1 (since Tor clients cannot accept incoming connections, unless on a .onion HS). Also helpful if they switched to UDP-only for data which would exclude Tor (until Tor suppports UDP). On the other hand, i had a reduced exit policy and still got DMCA complaints just for the .torrent file being downloaded via HTTP through my exit. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
