Integrated search tools quickly provide resultsĪt its core, the application heavily relies on peer to peer for nearly every process it puts in motion in order to retrieve files and keep your download or upload sessions active. What's more, unlike the TCP connection, the packets are simply sent without establishing a mutual connection with the destination, which makes it even more difficult to track, thus practical in this situation. ![]() The difference is that UDP doesn't keep track of when or how data packets are sent, not even who sends them. However, this is made possible by using UDP over TCP protocols. When a download is established, you are not directly connected to the source itself, but rather to a relay point, such as yourself, to fetch bits of data while a different connection gathers from a different source.Īs a result, your IP address is lost track of. The application is built around the idea that gave birth to Tor in order to achieve that critically acclaimed level of security.

In this regard, Tribler comes with a neat set of features not only for faster downloading, but for more security.
