GNOME bittorrent downloader

[Martin Alderson]

No no no no. It's a stupid feature. It doesn't block anything - the
RIAA or MPAA could use a cable modem and noone would know about it.

The best way to avoid getting caught is to not download illegal
material and share it with others. Nothing else will protect you,
apart from anonymous proxying which reduces performace badly
(bandwidth is halved every hop).
