Lol, the second link didn't work either.

Anyway, I have gotten two letters from my ISP about downloads. From what I've heard (not sure, only heard) is that they really don't pay attention to anything but NEW movies and games.

I stopped downloading new releases and haven't gotten any letters from my ISP in a while.

They didn't cut off my service, just told me about legal repercussions and that my service may be cut off if I don't stop it.

I've been warned by Paramount Productions for downloading movies via torrents. They get your MAC address.. There are ways to make yourself undetectable you'll have to google it.

Real Hide IP claims to work, I read good stuff about it.
It will slow your connection down a little bit. I have a 10 or 12Mbps connection and with this program running it cut it down to like 6Mbps.

Absolutely. I don't torrent popular movies any more. I received a warning letter from my internet service provider stating that they received a complaint as a result of me downloading Children of Men and that if they received more complaints they would have to stop providing me service.

Its better to use private torrent sites or newsgroups.

I have been warned with a letter from my ISP twice, once for a movie and once for a game.  Each time was from a public tracker.

You may want to check out Tor.  To make a long story short it routes your packets around the world through a bunch of servers.  It does some fancy encryption so each server only knows the address of the server before it and the one after it.  Makes it very difficult to figure out who you are.

You have to configure your torrent client to work with it, but there are tutorials if you Google it.

yeah, you can definitely get into trouble.

i got two messages from my ISP in the same week telling me to slow my roll or else there will be bad things in my future.

its an illegal "copy" of a movie and i believe every movie has a warning in the beginning that says illegal reproduction can cause you jail time and 25,000 dollar fine. i figure thats what they hit you with.

best bet is to not download movies illegal.. just go to websites like "www.letmewatchthis.com" and find whatever movie it is you wanna watch. safer and aslong as the link says "DVD Quality" next to it, it'll be mint.

you can never be too safe with torrents.. viruses are definitely a possibility out there..... but I had a demonoid account. thought i would be safe there so it was all i used... and then i got the 2 emails from my ISP so i just stopped torrenting all together. definitely don't want THAT headache.

I wouldn't download from TPB anymore since a lot of shit I've seen are just viruses or monitored. Use semi-private or private torrent sites like demonoid since most threats are almost nil. :thumbup: Also, don't download new music or movies since those are most usually monitored and don't make it a habit to just pirate all your shit.

Private torrent sites are very good things to have.  Ask friends you know in person if any of them have invites to private sites.

Also, realize that newsgroups offer very high quality and safe downloading.  They do cost some, but only about $10 a month. 

One thing that makes torrents superior to newsgroups is quality private torrent sites will have more old and hard to find stuff.  Newsgroups tend to be better with respect to newer or more mainstream stuff.
