Torrent - Anonyminity

[HeRo]

So I've read something about ISPs sending their consumers 'letters' for downloading copyrighted material.


What are your thoughts about this? Any counter measures when downloading a torrent?


Let's discuss what are safe, and what are not. As of today, I am using Vuze for torrents, which they say is not also safe.

use vpn its "safer".
a few moths ago they added a law to the isp's in sweden atleast that they HAVE to save loggs and give them out to the police when requested. this was not the case before.

how is it in other countries?

luckally nobody gives a flying shit here. they would even ask you to download a movie to test your speed.

oh and use magnets.

I use a program called PeerBlock. Not sure how effective it really is, but I have so far avoided those lovely notices from the ISPs. I also usually don't DL the types of files they get their panties in a wad about either.


Interested in others thought about this type of program's effectiveness.
