Hi there,
Got a new DS212J. It seems the download station doesn't support proxies for bittorrent, and the transmission package doesn't either.
Is there any torrent client with proxy support available for DSM?
Thanks!

Short answer is NO.
I'm not sure but there are hints that the new DSM 4.0 does/will support proxies. I would not however install it yet as there are lots problems being experienced by beta testers so better to wait until released and even then maybe be patient for the 4.1 release. Also, you can't downgrade again if it breaks things you use.
I've just gone to usenet. I found BTguard very very slow and for a couple of dollars more a month I'm getting everything I want at max'd out speeds and with the SSL encryption its basically anonymous. No uploading required. If interested, I've gone with newshosting.com. They have a fantastic GUI interface that takes all the mystery out of usenet and allows you to easily save an NZB file which you add to download station just like adding a torrent. The only added step is to unrar your download as the current download station doesn't do that automatically but that's dirt simple. Maybe DSM 4.0 will and there are also other alternatives to the download station that you can install on the DS and do this for you.

DSM 4.0-2198 still doesn't appear to support proxies, at least I haven't been able to find any settings for it. Have stopped using torrents now anyway. Too slow thru BTguard and content is dying a slow death. Am using alternatives.

I moved to Usenet. Torrents are a dying medium. Check this link http://www.newsgroupreviews.com/ (second in the list) they have a special lifetime offer of unlimited download for $9.99/mo or $99.99/year which is well worth it.

Thanks for the tip!
I'll look into it. I've always feared that Usenets track you better than torrents can because they have your CC and address.
