BitBlinder: free, anonymous torrenting may be a reality
Last Updated on Sunday, 14 June 2009 01:59 Written by richardcqz Sunday, 14 June 2009 01:59
There are many ways to anonymize your browsing or torrent activity, but they all have their drawbacks. TOR is free, but it’s poor etiquette to use it for torrents and put a strain on the bandwidth of the nice folks who run TOR servers. Not to mention that it’s incredibly, stupefyingly slow. You could get a VPN, but that’ll cost you. So, what’s the solution to making your torrents free and anonymous, without a huge drag on your transfer speeds? Here it is the new open source project called BitBlinder can do it.
BitBlinder is sort of like a private tracker for your anonymous data. A private tracker requires you to upload a certain percentage of data compared to what you download, in order to keep using it. BitBlinder works the same way, requiring each person on the network to anonymize a certain amount of data for others in order to have their own data anonymized for free. To keep your IP address safe, it’s passed through several peers before it reaches your target website, but each computer only receives the address of the next peer in the chain, not the address the request is coming from. That way, you don’t know who anyone else is, and nobody else knows who you are, which makes it difficult for anyone to track what each person on the network is doing.
BitBlinder isn’t just good for torrents, though. It can also be used to hide your browsing activity and get around blocked sites at work or school. BitBlinder comes with an anonymous browser, built on Firefox. It’s worth noting that BitBlinder will be a bit slower than browsing without anonymity, but still faster than TOR. It’s planned as a cross-platform project, but the Mac version isn’t ready quite yet.
BitBlinder can be download here but registration are required for that and also please read the instruction on how to forward the port for best performance.
Note that there are still limited number of slots available to ensure a healthy network with an adequate number of quality proxies.

Files Over Miles does simple and direct files transfer
Last Updated on Friday, 29 May 2009 05:15 Written by richardcqz Friday, 29 May 2009 05:15
Nowadays there are many way to transfer a file from sender to recipient such as MSN Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype, AOL Instant Messenger and etc. Besides that you also can upload to a free file hosting website and give the URL to the person who need the file such as Rapidshare, Megaupload, depositfiles, Mediafire, Filefactory and etc.
Now there are a easy and simple way to send your files to recipient by using FilesOverMiles. As long as sender and recipient had Flash plugin installed, this is the easiest way to send files P2P.
If you think the URL that generated by FilesOverMiles are still longer enuff, then you can try these website to shorten your URL — NSFW.in, Bit.ly, U.nu, Awe.sm, Tinyarro.ws, SHUURL.com, 1link.in, Tr.im, Burnurl.com, TinyURL.com, ceSnipURL.com, and Su.pr.
Here is the way to use FilesOverMiles service, choose a file to share, and FilesOverMiles creates a hash-like URL for the transfer. Nothing starts moving until the receiver visits the URL and the client kicks in. Once that happens, your data is sent directly to the person at the other end with fastest speed because there is no intermediate servers slowing down the process. Plus, nothing is stored on a server. The only term and condition is when you are uploading or receiving the files, you are required to let the web page open. It is because when you close the web page, you need to do it all over again.
