Trackerless Magnet URI Extension

The purpose of this extension is to reduce the BitTorrent network’s use of and dependency on centralized trackers and web seeds. Both of which can allow for centralized monitoring of BitTorrent users, and act as a single point of failure.

Downloads may be initially slower as peer-discovery can take a bit longer if your client hasn’t been running in a little while.

The extension is also available in the Firefox Add-on Gallery.
