How to Download with BitTorrent Using a Proxy » ZeroPaid.com: "The use of VPNs and Tor routers are some of the more common methods people use, though the latter is intended for web browsing and not P2P since the data consumption rates slow down connection speeds for others.
Another method is the use of proxies to mask your IP address while downloading content with BitTorrent."

1. Find a Proxy Server Address

There’s a great list that can be found here and here. Note that some are free and some require a modest monthly fee.

2. Open Your BitTorrent Application

In this case I’m using uTorrent. Go to options > preferences > connection.

3. Enter the Proxy Server Address

Under “Proxy Server” select “HTTP” from the drop down menu box, and then enter the IP address of the the proxy server you’ve chosen where it says “Proxy.” The last four digits after the semicolon correspond to the port which should be entered in the “Port” option. Also be sure to check “use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections.”

Example: The proxy server address I selected was 112.65.135.54:8080.

4. Select “Ok”

Simple select the “Ok” button at the bottom and that’s it.

See the example below after loading a a torrent tracker for the show “Pioneer One.”

It’s just that easy.

Stay tuned.
