No, no, no... I didn't mean for the actual node connection for data transfer, just for the TRACKER connection. That takes very little bandwidth and would mask your IP from the tracker while still enabling you to grab the node list.


Obviously you don't use Tor for actual downloading, that'd never work (nor is Tor designed for that).
