Re: [tor-relays] Configuring a Tor relay to *not* accept torrent traffic

That will not help in my opinion. Some user will be able to contact the trackers through another exit node and then start connecting to peers through your tracker to download the actual data. If RIAA is faking peers and then waits for people to connect to them, then you will still be acused of illegal file sharing. You will still appear as a torrent user. You just won't appear on most tracker lists but IIRC they always accuse you after you actually connect to them for sharing and not just because you were on a tracker scrape...

Cheers.

Hi,

using a small python script I retrieved the TOP-100 trackers from
www.torrentking.org and added them to torrc. I never got any DCMA report.
