I don't torrent through tor, I just use it to get the links. I've found that if I use TPB on the normal internet, my ISP (or someone who can see my connections) seems to be poisoning the results, since all my torrents result in a 1.89gb executable file that I'm sure as hell not opening. Getting the links through tor doesn't have the same issue, and then I download them over the normal internet, and everything works fine
- bigmadshoe 10mo agoIf you're connecting through a VPN there is no way for your ISP to know that you're using TPB or any other website.
- voidUpdate 10mo agoI know, that's why I use tor to get the links
- hypercube33 10mo agoThey can if you let DNS leak to their servers so make sure you really firewall your ship off
- IlikeKitties 10mo agoCan you share the magnet link that they send you and maybe the name of your ISP? I'd be super interested in analysing this!
- voidUpdate 10mo agoI'll try to remember to but it'll be about 16 hours away
- meindnoch 10mo agoImpossible. How would your ISP (or VPN provider or anyone) be MITMing the TLS connection to TPB?
- gs17 10mo ago> 1.89gb executable file Add me to the list of people curious about this. It feels more like some sort of bug than a real attack, it would be odd to use such a huge file for every torrent.
