One thing users of this new service should keep in mind, is that allowing yourself to be a relay server and allowing EXIT TRAFFIC, other users anonymized connections can and will come out on your end, meaning all those other user's potentially unscrupulous activities appear to be coming from your computer/IP.

Exit traffic can be toggled off, for both web and torrenting, but in the settings description this will cause you to gain bandwidth credit much slower.

but if everybody does that, their network will collapse.

and by allowing to become an exit node, you are potentially getting into much more trouble since it's going to be not a single user d/l pirated content, but 5, 10, 20?
yes, court would have to be convinced that it was actually you that d/led all that stuff, but do you really want that hassle?
