I never cease to be amused when I see ads for BTGuard claiming that you will get unlimited download speeds if you use their services.
It is not the VPN or IP obscuring software that limits the download speed of a torrent download it is the health of the torrent that is the dominant factor when it comes to the rate at which you are accessing the files.
In addition services such as BTGuard and TorrentPrivacy are likely to be well on the radar screens of Anti P2P Organizations and the servers that you may have to connect through are most likely to be blocked. This blocking is likely to add to the latency of your downloads.
I have discussed the merits of using BTGuard and Torrent Privacy on this blog and my website (tempusfugit.ca). I have used one of the services in the past. I have found a much better solution.
BTGuard and TorrentPrivacy are aggressively advertized on sites such as Isohunt and The Pirate Bay. This is because it is there they find a target audience. As such, this is an indication of what not to use to download. You are far better off choosing a service that is off the radar and not advertized on a network that the copyright holders know are promoting the stealing of their property.

Was wondering whether Peerblock was any better at stopping you being detected while downloading.
