Use the Internet at Starbucks or anywhere else that is not traceable to you or your friends to download torrents.

You could download torrents onto a PDA and leave it in the bushes with a gelcell battery for a week to download a whole lot of stuff.

You could connect into the PDA via tor to queue new downloads.

There are also proxy services which may be able to proxy torrent traffic for a nominal monthly fee.  They might turn over your real IP if you get caught however.

If you do something seriously wrong and it inspires authorities to track you down, they can certainly do that ya know. Cameras and such, watch who you were and what you were doing. See what they purchased and possibly trace the CC if you used one. It all just comes down to how hard they want to track you.

Would UDP encapsulation prevent the information from being extracted from a packet (with decent effectiveness at 256-bit encryption)? 

Say you used it via a VPN (L2TP/IPSec) and then used Tor as well.  How decent is that?

you really shouldn't use tor for pirating stuff through bittorrent. First of all it's slow as shit. And secondly, it wastes network resources for people who actually might need it for important shit (like political dissidents in china).

That being said (and I agree, completely), stacking VPN services is the safest, imho.  Make sure the VPN providers are in different countries.  Choose VPN providers that do not keep logs.  The more you stack, the slower it gets, and the safer you are.  Also, be careful to disable java, javascript, flash, etc...

Use privoxy..

Or privoxy ---> TOR if you need absolute security, but be prepared for a wicked speed decline.

There's also VPN's...look them up.

Yea I wasn't referring to P2P with Tor.  I don't use P2P since getting TimeWarner Extreme, because USENET = 35 Mbps d/l every time.  :datass:

From the TorK live cd description:

"The CD is still experimental and not feature complete. It may not even be fully secure yet."

It is also over four years old.  Just the browser version alone would allow people to compromise your linux livecd environment.  They could find your real IP address and location, capture your keystrokes, mount your OS drive and backdoor it, etc. 

It would be much better to build a new livecd / usb stick with an updated tor/browser and noscript.

do you have any experience in building a livecd? I've never done such a thing but I would love to do a project like this. I think it would be awesome to have such a tool.

Adding to the Starbucks/internet cafe bit, if doing this you can still be traced to a Mac address, so take care to spoof your Mac address if you take this route. http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac
Also, as much as people levee against block lists, finding a block list that doesn't block it's users can't possibly be a bad thing. The blocklists offered by Bluetack and iBlocklist are "good," though do some reading as some are only necessary in very specific situations.

Unfortunately, p2p services tend to have a very distinct fingerprint for the ISPs to easily identify. So ultimately going through a VPN is your best bet, which means you're still forking over money for the material you pirate, just not as much as actually buying it.
