It would be nice if there was an option to allow DNS resolving through proxy, so we could use TOR hidden trackers with URLs ending in the .onion pseudo-TLD.
I think that kind of trackers will be more popular in the near future and their hostnames can't be resolved by regular nameservers outside the TOR network.
What do you think guys? It would be very hard to implement that?

Re: DNS resolution and Proxy settings
I have found a workaround for this. In Mac OS X, with Vidalia Tor client you can use the built-in Polipo HTTP proxy instead of the SOCKSv5 proxy and then domain names are resolved by the Tor network.
Just use 127.0.0.1:8118 as an HTTP proxy instead of 127.0.0.1:9050 as a SOCKSv5.
Anyway, since SOCKSv5 supports remote DNS resolution it could be interesting to have this functionality with Transmission.

Excellent point. Please file a bug on trac.transmissionbt.com and assign it to me (jch).assembler wrote:Anyway, since SOCKSv5 supports remote DNS resolution it could be interesting to have this functionality with Transmission.
