How to configure Transmission to work with Tor

[ThePhantomMacist]

I was wondering if anybody could help me and explain how to configure Transmission to work with Tor, which boxes to tick port numbers to enter etc?.

what is Tor?

[ThreeDee912]

Tor is a internet anonymizer, used to circumvent things like censorship, filtering, throttling, and other kinds of traffic shaping. I'm not completely sure if Tor would work with BitTorrent in general, due to the way it works.

However, I think Azurezus might possibly have it as a feature buried in the menus somewhere, but it's been a long time since I have used it, as it is bloated and resource-hungry program.

Any movement on this?

Using p2p/bittorrent on the Tor network is considered to be bad etiquette by the Tor community.

i also read the blog entry and fail to see the "bad etiquette" you mention. bit torrent is not illegal.

Looks like the wiki was edited.

True, bittorrent isn't illegal. But, it's still considered bad etiquette, because tor isn't ment to be used with applications that are connection/bandwidth hogs. It slows down the tor network for the other people that are using it.
