Can i download torrents using hotspot?
I've recently heard that if you start using your iphone hotspot on your home's internet. Then they can't find your IP address or track u.
is that true?
About as much chance as if you were downloading the torrent on a PC hooked up to that same router. Since you're using your phone to create the hotspot, the torrent can be traced back to the IP your phone uses for the data connection.
Also, keep in mind that Data usage can be an issue. In addition to the bandwidth used up for sending verification packets and retransmits of corrupted pieces during a regular download, bit torrent is a P2P file sharing system.
It is not possible to download torrents using hotspot.
- Will using my iPhone's hotspot cost extra money? I have an iPhone 4s (which is up to date on all IOS updates) and I have the unlimited data plan at AT&T. I'm leaving for a road trip tomorrow, and I wanted to turn the hotspot on so I could use that Wi-Fi on my laptop during the trip so I won't get bored. It says I need to set up an account for it, which I will do later… But would any extra charges be added to my bill?
