Well, Tor is actually a network of layered Socks5 proxies. So instead of using a single proxy server, Tor will route your traffic through 3 proxies, with bit encryption on each layer. The main advantage of Tor vs. Most Socks5 proxy services offer no encryption whatsoever.
Encryption prevents torrent throttling. It also stops your Internet Provider from monitoring your torrent traffic. But Tor still has all the insecurities of any Socks5 proxy setup for torrents some peer connections may be routed outside the proxy tunnel, exposing your real IP address.
And this setup offers much stronger encryption than Tor and is much faster than Tor. Several VPNs include both in a single unlimited subscription. We have Socks5 proxy setup guides for most major torrent clients. This can be used with a Paid Socks5 torrent proxy service, or even used with Tor not recommended. They will either actively block all p2p connections, or cancel your account if you try.
As far as Copywrite Trolls, It would be a good opportunity for me to teach a jury how to legally download content using the Fair Use Act as law in the courtroom! You have to represent yourself in court to be able to talk to a jury btw. Awesome thanks! Most torrent clients accept the info hash too to add a torrent. You may find that a little bit easier to do. BUT what I want to do is have 'magnet' one of the options in the 'applications' list; the intent is to click on the magnet and have it download the link to a script which does some processing on the link and ships the result to another machine for downloading via CLI.
I've tried copying over the relevant line in a working firefox prefs. It's been so long since I tweaked around with the firefox applications that I've forgotten what's involved in creating a new one.

Such a conversation is beyond the scope of this thread, so feel free to start a new one if you wish to explore that route. Thx for this.. Maybe it doesn't matter.. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated! Tor will encrypt your traffic to and within the Tor network , but the encryption of your traffic to the final destination website depends upon on that website.
Tor Browser will warn you before automatically opening documents that are handled by external applications. You should be very careful when downloading documents via Tor especially DOC and PDF files, unless you use the PDF viewer that's built into Tor Browser as these documents can contain Internet resources that will be downloaded outside of Tor by the application that opens them.
This will reveal your non-Tor IP address. Under no circumstances is it safe to use BitTorrent and Tor together, however. Tor tries to prevent attackers from learning what destination websites you connect to. However, by default, it does not prevent somebody watching your Internet traffic from learning that you're using Tor. If this matters to you, you can reduce this risk by configuring Tor to use a Tor bridge relay rather than connecting directly to the public Tor network.
Ultimately the best protection is a social approach: the more Tor users there are near you and the more diverse their interests, the less dangerous it will be that you are one of them. Convince other people to use Tor, too! Be smart and learn more. Here we will discuss why it is better to avoid using Tor as a way to anonymize your torrents and will look at the best alternatives.
Tor focuses on helping people from across the world to evade censorship and to enjoy access to the internet safely, even in countries under restrictive regimes. It is free and it uses multiple layers of encrypted proxies that are randomly routed. When you tunnel your internet traffic through three encrypted proxies or more, the first layer will be able to find out your identity, while the last one will know your destination.
However, it is not possible to connect these layers. The tor network relies on volunteers who run the proxy nodes. Although it is possible that some of the Tor node operators are not reliable, the network is overall very secure and anonymous.
The majority of users access Tor via the Tor browser bundle, which is based on Firefox, although it has a special configuration. The browser can route all traffic through the Tor network without hassle so you can visit websites without exposing your identity. It ensures your anonymity when browsing.
