SSL encryption coming to The Pirate Bay

what is the point of this?

The isp's will still be able to tell that it is bittorrent by the traffic patterns and the lawyers will still be able to sue you because your ip address is still exposed.

I guess if you don't like other people knowing that you are really downloading you got served 2 it can be helpful, but other than that idk

Perhaps to somewhat protect the people who upload torrents to the site? I'm sure a lot of incriminating evidence could be gathered by observing all the uploading/commenting/posting that someone does on tpb.

Of course, everyone knows that the whole SSL setup is quite vulnerable to MIM.

Hopefully this will get the guys who work on Transmission to add HTTPoSSL support :)

encryption please :)

EDIT Thanks for changing it :)
