Handy Light--How do you correctly enter the SOCKS proxy settings into uTorrent (PC)

[CJayC]

I'm using Handy Light at this very moment to tether my PC because my friend's house doesn't have very good WiFi. But I was trying to figure this out earlier at my own house and couldn't, but I really do want to try to get it right now.

In uTorrent, there is an option to use a SOCKS proxy but I'm not sure what should be checked or unchecked and what variation of port/IP addresses should go in.

This is my current setup and it does not work.

To mods: please note that torrenting is not illegal.

I wish I was as cool as you, you law-abiding citizen.

Seriously... using the mobile network for p2p is incredibly selfish.

I don't care much about using the iPhone to tether, but you probably will get a copyright notice from AT&T...

Ok, first how old are you??

Secondly, I wish you were a law abiding citizen as well.
In your first post you stressed to the moderaters how legal torrenting was but now you seem to be saying that its incapable for you to be "cool" and not steal bandwidth. Leads one to think that maybe the content you are torrenting isnt legal either (not that I really care though)

So how does one get "not very good" wifi anyway? Is that code for "not any" wifi or cant guess the neighbors password or what?

1. He is paying for unlimited 3G service, how he uses it is his own problem.
2. Torrenting itself is legal, torrentling copyrighted material is not. Torrents are a very popular distribution method for companies that can pay for good servers and bandwidth. Not all torrenting means piracy.

I can see AT&T letting you slide if you are just tethering to a few websites on occasion. But I wouldn't be surprised if they find you torrenting and upgrade your service plan without warning.

Good luck with that.

Unlimited = 5GB

After which ATT can cutoff your service especially if they find out about the torrents.

Where are people getting this 5 GB softcap from? Do you not understand what the word unlimited means? This was a rumor created MONTHS ago and has since been debunked several times. There is NO SOFTCAP.

That's the general policy of other smartphones beside the iPhone. The iPhone has it's only policy and TOS, and no where does it state a bandwidth limit.
