Working pretty similar to VIPeers concept httpTorrents provides users with direct download links for faster and easier access; the service is free for now but premium download packages will be available once the service picks momentum.

There is an online service for almost everything these days, and new one of it's kind service Check My Torrent IP plugs a gap which nobody else addressed which is to let users check there publicly exposed IP information while downloading torrents - this can come handy if you are using online anonymity service like TorrentPrivacy or VPN and wants to check whether it is working as expected or not.

There are tons of free and paid anonymous VPN services but majority of them don't allow P2P traffic thus blocking torrent downloading, if you are concerned about your privacy while downloading torrents you have no option but to opt for a specialized high-speed, secure and anonymous paid torrent downloading service like TorrentPrivacy which offers a fully anonymous and secure encrypted SSH tunnel for downloading making your browsing invisible to anybody in between, including your ISP.

The best thing about TorrentPrivacy is its fool-proof setup - all you need to do is to launch the software and choose your nearest location, TorrentPrivacy will now launch its secure custom version of uTorrent allowing high-speed secure torrent downloads, the good news is that we have been provided five free exclusive one-month accounts for out blog readers.

Increasing TCP/IP maximum half open connection limit is known to boost P2P applications and accelerate torrent downloading, IObit has now came up with an P2P optimizer named P2PTurbo which allows you to tweak and optimize other TCP/IP and internet settings as well with ease.

Anonymous torrent downloading is one such feature that many paid and free VPN services like AceVPN often block, specialized free anonymous torrent downloading services like BitBlinder are not very fast and premium services like IPREDATOR requires paid subscription, however with new free anonymous torrent downloading VPN service "ItsHidden" everyone can enjoy secure private torrent downloads without paying anything.

The best part is that unlike other VPN services ItsHidden does not require any additional software and works by configuring your Operating system to connect via the secure encrypted VPN tunnel, the service is currently open to free signups and is under beta testing phase.

Your IP address can reveal a lot about you, and if you are concerned about privacy while downloading torrent files and surfing the web or are getting blocked because of internet censorship, using proxy servers and VPN services is an solution to the problem but both require paid services for fast access and bandwidth intensive usage, but not anymore as all new free internet anonymity service BitBlinder promises to protect your identity by hiding your IP address and allowing private web-browsing and torrent downloading at fast speeds.

The multi-platform, open-source application BitBlinder is currently in Beta and makes use of TOR network for creating encrypted anonymous connections between peers, every user is required to contribute by relaying data for others making the network fast and efficient.

Ono is a simple plugin for popular Bittorrent client Azureus to accelerate speeds upto 207% on average, according to the project developer team at Northwestern University’s AquaLab group:

For most P2P applications, the decision regarding which peer to download from is generally arbitrary. When most peers offer good download performance, the random solution works well. However, if most peers are in a different part of the world from you, your downloads can really suffer.

The Ono plugin avoids this by proactively finding peers that are close to you (in a networking sense). These peers generally offer better response time, which can lead to significantly improved performance. We identify those peers that are near you by reusing network measurements from content distribution networks (CDNs), i.e. without performing extensive path measurement or probing.

So does this work? In a word, yes. Using results collected from our participating users (well over 100,000 of them!), we have found that our system locates peers along paths that have two orders of magnitude lower latency and 30% lower loss rates than those picked at random by BitTorrent, and that these high-quality paths can lead to significant improvements in transfer rates. In challenged settings where peers are overloaded in terms of available bandwidth, Ono provides a 31% average download-rate improvement; in environments with large available bandwidth, Ono increases download rates by 207% on average (and improves median rates by 883%).

Torrent2Exe is a free online service allowing users to create standalone executables from .torrent files for easy single click file downloads for not so computer savvy users. The service comes in handy when you want to make someone download something off the bittorrent network but he or she is not comfortable with the protocol, you simply upload the torrent to Torrent2Exe for them and create a executable which can be shared with anyone to download that particular file with ease.
