Run rTorrent on TOR
# this assumes you've already downloaded, installed and or compiled sources for the following files
# if on arch run `pacman -S tor delegate rtorrent`
# DeleGate Source: http://delegate.hpcc.jp/anonftp/DeleGate/delegate9.9.13.tar.gz
1. Run `tor` whether on chroot or not.
2. Proxy socks5 tor connection to port 8080 localhost by running:
delegated -P8080 SERVER=http SOCKS=localhost:9050
3. Configure $HOME/.rtorrent.rc and set `http_proxy` to `127.0.0.1`
NOTE: running torrent in TOR is not recommended but as oppose use it only to resolve trackers. Install `Deluge` instead.
