Can Vpn+ Be Used For Torrenting Download Torrents At

I can download torrents at a maximum of 3-8MBs (around my ISP max download limit).

After a while however I decided to use encryption to obscure my identity in the torrenting world (after having learnt the risks involved with it).

Having already used the service before, I opted to use VPN, for it was quick and easy to set up, and most of all, I already had a subscription.

Their website is here: However I encountered serious, rather unexpected issues: With the VPN on, every single torrent that I attempted to download had all the trackers not working.

The status would be on updating for ages and then Connection timed out..

After several tests I concluded that it must have been something to do with the VPN connection, for upon disconnecting it, all the trackers would immediately respond, and the torrent would start downloading within seconds.

I have looked on the VPN providers website, and they do not block torrenting.

Is there any way to fix this issue Is there a recommended VPN service provider for torrenting, or if not, are some better than others Thank you very much for reading this, and once more I apologise if the answers to these questions are obvious, or my description was not very accurate Extra Information: Running uTorrent 1.8.4 on OSX 10.8.4, ISP is British Telecommunications (BT).

I have not changed any of the uTorrent settings, and I have tried re-installing it several times.

I did the VPN testing on both PPTP and OpenVPN systems, with neither working.

Thanks for the reply No, I do not use private trackers, only the public ones.

Thanks for the reply Yes, I did read it, and tried all the servers.

However, I also used the PPTP service, and it does not work either.

Could it be that the VPN blocks the ports of the trackers or something.

Also, when I look up on videos on how to use VPN with torrents, everything that the video shows seems to work so well, so Im thinking that maybe it is a client side issue.

Re-read post 6 take note that it doesnt mention any particular VPN by name, so applies equally to ALL VPNs (and proxies for that matter) And let me add: Even if the VPN supports dynamicautomatic port forwarding, all it takes is two connected users using the same port for ANYTHING, not necessarily using BitTorrent protocol and both of them are FUBARred Also, when I look up on videos on how to use VPN with torrents, And was this an official uTorrent provided one Or was it made by some clueless muppet then published on YouTube.

Perhaps I shall try some different, private trackers and see what happens.

I am sure this will definitely help you, best regards Ok thanks a lot Will check the website and VPN4All out.

Just this past week I installed their internet kill switch, so now my whole internet shuts down when the VPN connection drops-very important.

Its hard to set something up like that for the MAC, but the feature is in the software for the vpn and can be toggled on and off.

Its highly recommended to use some type of vpn or other protection always I did a lot of searching and you can try googling best vpns and from there you will find lists w info about each one and sometimes lists showing which one log users best avoid the one that do.

After picking a few I ran a google search w the name of the vpn and the word complaints.
