So I was browsing through the newest listings on MacUpdate dot com and saw something called Tribler that was some type of BitTorrent client that is using some kind of TOR-like system for complete anonymity. The rundown on MacUpdate said this:
Their website is https://www.tribler.org/
Unfortunately the app itself has a decidedly non-Mac-y user interface. It's obviously developed in something that they are probably using to make it easier to support multiple platforms, though I don't know what. I browsed inside the .app bundle to look for clues and the MacOS and Resources folders were both FULL of interesting items, but the only thing that stood out was a large amount of them had Qt in the name, so I am guessing they are built at least in part using that.
Just curious who else has seen this before. I would love for something like this to catch on because I have already goofed up more than once and downloaded things without my VPN and as a result got warning letters from the I.S.P. to notify me that [Major Hollywood Corporation] has determined that at [I.P. address] an item of copyrighted work [Name of whatever ("Barry S03E02")] was downloaded, Our records show that this I.P. address was assigned to you and ...... Further warnings and we may be forced to cancel your service.
