Tribler: Bittorrent has always had two cores problems: the non-existent indexing services and the lack of anonymity. Several workarounds have been published from time to time to eliminate the latter weakness and all rely on the use of virtual private networks or proxies. Regarding the first issue, i.e. a viable alternative to indexing services, there is probably nothing worthwhile.
The Tribler, which went public in the summer of 2014, attempts to change all that. It was developed by researchers at the Technological University of Delft who wanted to create an anonymous system and impossible to shut down at the same time.
Tribler integrates both of the services mentioned above, indexing them torrents but also the anonymity of each client directly, which means that it is not based on third party services or other websites.
Tribler's great feature is anonymity, which is now possible with its latest release. It uses a system similar to what the Tor network offers, but has its own network that is incompatible with Tor.
Detailed information about the application is available on Github. The routing of requests appears to be done through the various systems of each user who uses it automatically. Instead of downloading the files directly from the seeder, they are downloaded and diverted through others users.
This means that every user of the Tribler network is a node used for transport data to other users which in turn may affect your overall download speed and ability to seed files.
Packages received in this way are encrypted, with the exception of the header containing only one identifier used to determine where the packet is to send.
The Triller also comes with built-in search options that you can use to find torrents directly from your application without having to use any website. It also supports channels with torrent collections offered by other users, which users can vote to improve their search visibility.
