I didn't say nothing isn't routed through your proxy, just the tracker download
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker
If you're using socks4/http proxies then the actual transfer is still going through your normal IP.
I could be wrong however, since I haven't used torrents in a while. But I'm pretty sure the actual download of the file is sent over UDP. Only socks5 proxies or VPNs support udp routing.
From their help manual:
- Note: µTorrent can only proxy UDP-based communication through SOCKS5 proxies. By default, connection types that your proxy does not support will simply connect as normal.
So when you use the wrong proxy type it is just connecting normally through your connection, because socks4/http proxies don't support those features.
- 'Disable connections unsupported by the proxy' will disable connection types that your proxy type cannot handle. For HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS4 proxies, this will disable all UDP-based communication (DHT, uTP, UDP trackers, IPv6). If your proxy is misconfigured or not working, all traffic in the client will stop.
When you checked that did your downloads stop?
