OneSwarm

From LifeHacker:

(I) OneSwarm is a web-based BitTorrent client designed to share files privately between you and your friends.

OneSwarm keeps your file sharing traffic private by routing it through a number of different people within the OneSwarm service, so you never know where the source file is coming from, nor does the file originator know who's downloading.

(II) OneSwarm also does regular public BitTorrent transfers, but the data doesn't go through OneSwarm's anonymous transfer process; it just works just like any other BitTorrent client.

I might be reading this too early in the morning but it sounds like one's typical bittorrent activities would NOT be protected by OneSwarm. Only direct P2P transfers BETWEEN FRIENDS like one would get through a gnutella-based system (LimeWire, FrostWire, Cabos, etc.) are secure.

Off Topic to portability

The issue I see with this, and every other anonymizing system (BTGuard and Tor are the only ones that come to mind), is that they become targets by groups whose job is to track suspicious traffic. The job is made all the harder by performing statistical analyses on nodes and suspects, but Tor recognizes that their system is not safe from such an investigation.

I am all for privacy but too many have the mind "if I don't have anything to hide, I don't need to use it," which gives enforcers the mind "if they didn't have something to hide, they wouldn't need to use it."
