Re: [Trisquel-users] why is anonymous torrent software not available?

It doesn't avoid sending out your IP address per se- it has to, in order to  
allow the reply to be sent to you- but 'anonymizes' it through two  
techniques. Firstly, the tunnels serve to introduce distance between the  
sender and the receiver of a packet, preventing a single user from watching  
the full transit. Secondly, I2P makes every user a node by default. This,  
critically, makes for plausible deniability- an external observer, without  
watching a large part of the network, can't tell whether any packet you send  
is your own or someone else's.
