Torrenting is bad, boys n' girls!

I don't think it's the ISPs that want to send them out they're being forced by various copyright companies that seem to think fax machines and old grannies are pirates.

Also torrenting is not a bad thing it's the content that's being downloaded that causes problems :p

Use Peerblock/Peer guardian

I remember watching this thing a few days ago on AoTS, they where discussing the fact that the FCC wants to regain control of the internet from the big evil companies in the US. From what I believe, they will manage it like how they manage phones aka. WE LEAVE IT ALONE. So technically, the FCC wants Net Neutrality to return.

Even a private tracker can't protect you when it is infiltrated. And on Rapidshare/Megaupload you only get a portion of the torrented material, it's a good alternative nonetheless, though.


An IP filter list for your country can be effective to a certain extent. But the real kicker is VPN.

Whether it's Mainland Chinese or P2P Sharers, VPN from logfree companies is the way to go imo. Though just in case, your p2p app wants to make special connections outside the vpn one, it's probably a good idea to disallow any connections besides vpn connections (packet filtering like iptables).

And with a logfree vpn company, the Axis of Copyright Evil doesn't get to you. Btw most vpn services log, though.

/me wins

I do. Didn't do shit apparently.

But it's all said and done. I just won't download South Park anymore, it's all they cared about.

lol, your isp suck :D

you are restricted from peer to peer lol, very unlucky

Just don't dl major blockbusters, popular cds/songs, and stick to obscure stuff. Should be fine.

.... No, I don't think you read the rest of the thread, but I'll let you keep thinking whatever.

Haha, My country last year made some stupid law thing about monitoring everything everyone does on the internet, to catch out illegal activity. Bwahahah~ Good luck NZ! I have only had warnings from my University, but they connect our laptops to their network, so any illegal activity and we get automactically get shut off the net. I even got shut off for being on a website that had LOTTO results!!!!

I had my internet connection turned off because I torrented a PSP game that had released sometime in 2009. Gave my Internet provider a call and they said that I was doing some illegal stuff. The next day I had Internet again. But they told me not to torrent again. I took that as a warning so I learned my lesson. Don't bootleg anything thats been recently put out on the market.

Was it one of those dodgy torrents with several thousand seeds?
If so that's probably why you got caught those torrents are trap torrents that copyright enforcement companies use to get people's ip addresses and inform their ISP of their wrong doing.
Though I have to say there's a huge ethical debate about it, as it could be grounds of entrapment.

That's what I was thinking as I read that. Hmm, probably some nice legal loophole in there somewhere, or perhaps not and they just took it upon themselves to break the law, similarly to a lot of cable companies regarding torrents. *coughComcastcough*

I got an email from my ISP about a year ago for downloading a bad cam of an even worse movie. Scared the shit out of me, and I didn't torrent anything for a good while after that.

Why delete? Use a external HD.

i love the ignorance of my goverment ~<3

Or just use something like Recuva to bring it back.

If you can Recuva it, you can bet the government can.

Then I guess that's a bad idea too, what a bummer...

Need to get rid our Hypocrital, Religion sucking, IT minister first.

He's definitely a threat...

use ultrasurf, run bittorrent though same port? would that work?
