    Which client? I personally use Azureus due to the features, although many people prefer Transmission due to its resource friendliness. uTorrent for Mac is also about to come out soon.

    Uhh, I think hes talking about Tor, not torrents. Though could be wrong

    If he is talking about tor, i think you would use Vidalia, theres intructions here.

    Works pretty fine, I forget if theres a separate guide to get it to work in firefox or your browser of choice, but yea. It works, and it does its job.

    Tor or Vidalia. The onion router. I use it at school all the time. Its good, a bit slow *although that is expected*. It occasionally crashes but all in all its great.

    hey guys i have two questions on Tor..

    it says "Torbutton on Firefox 3 is known to leak your timezone and livemarks via Tor" when I try to enable it"
    What exactly does that mean?

    Does Tor work with Safari? because it seems like the three fingers front and back only works with Safari...and not firefox
