Connect to Bittorrent trackers, Being blocked? Try this

 riverh 2011-06-22
1. Introduction
Thanks to YiQi, we confirmed that tmnet is blocking bittorrent based on user-agents. So if you change the user agent, you will be able to connect to trackers. We can achieve this by using a proxy server which allows use to change the HTTP header.

Sounds complex? Well it isn't really. I went around looking for proxy servers for windows which can do this for free (no need for cracks and shit). I came across PAW, I've tested it and it works smile.gif THIS WILL NOT SOLVE THE THROTTLING PROBLEM. It only allows you to connect to the tracker, a slow download is better than no download tongue.gif

2. Installation & Setup

2.1 PAW
Perform the following steps Now you got the proxy server running.


2.2 Proxomitron
Alternatively, you can use another software called proxomitron. To set it up, follow the instructions here. Thanks to newbieockids for the alternative method.

3. Configuration

3.1 Proxy Server
If you want to change the port number, go to "conf/server.xml". You can change the username and password there too (recommended).

For those of you who downloaded paw from sourceforge, you will need to edit a file before it will work. run "startGUI.bat". This will load the admin GUI. Then edit according to the following screenshot:

If editing through the GUI doesn't work for you, go to "conf/headers-request". The file doesn't have an extension, open it with notepad or any text editor. And edit according to the screenshot above.

Here's a list of possible user-agents to use:

3.2 Bittorrent Client
So now to configure your bittorrent client.

server: localhost
port: 8080 (default)

I'll show you a screenshot of utorrent's configuration.

4. Conclusion
And now you should be able to connect to trackers smile.gif Remember, this DOES NOT improve your download speed, it just enables you to connect to trackers.

5. Problems & Solutions
  1. Can't run startServer.bat, it automatically closes!
    Your JAVA version might be outdated or broken. Go download the latest JAVA version and try again.
  2. Getting error 404 proxy offline
    Try restarting your client. It worked for LEVIATHAN. If you're still getting the error, we'll try to find the problem.
  3. Getting error 500
    Try downloading the torrent file again. If that doesn't work, set a user-agent instead of leaving it blank. The instructions are given above.
Edit: updated download file, since the attachment is corrupted.
Edit2: Thx to MX510 for putting up a rapidshare link. Also fixed the layout of the first post.
