torrent problems

Swim is Looking for any advice on how to handle getting caught downloading torrents. Internet was disable for a couple hours he said then got ahold of his internet company and got it turned back. They did tell him that his activites online are being monitored.

Anyone been in this situation before. I told him to reformat computers and have a friend hold onto his dvd's and harddrives with all his downloaded stuff.

So ya any help would be greatly appericated hes poping a bunch of his anti anxiety meds and smoking weed to help him calm down and hes still freaking out.

 

:rofl: People actually get busted for that!? :rofl:

 

More people get warnings from their ISP.

 

I did read once that a girl was arrested and ordered to pay back what she had downloaded. But that could have been a dream....

 

I get free internet!

FACK THE ISPs

 

ahh so if you use an unsecure wireless network theres no way they can monitor what your downloading

 

i wouldnt sweat it..

its an ISP scare tactic, nothing more.

they are just sending the warning to cover their own ass..

 

I hope so man, those fines are probably huge

 

yeah, i bet its definitely some outrageous fine..

but i bet if you could look at the number of people who get sent warnings, vs the number of people who are actually charged with something.. the numbers would definitely be in your favor.

 

''Swim'' always confuses the shit out of me, this is not Soviet Russia, you don't have to use it .. Basically if you get warned, i suggest changing companies or switching to buying media for a while. I read of very horrible fines, way over the amount of damage done just to set an example.

 

my friend told me TPB is currently being sued. i don't know how reliable that is. they are starting to pick up on torrents though, like it's not so rare anymore

 

lol

TPB has been being sued for just about as long as its been in existence..

on the bottom of the page, click on Legal Threats to see how they respond

 

I am checking them out now and haha they are priceless

 

yeah haha, i found them pretty funny too.. thats definitely a badass way to respond to threats of litigation..

i lol'd at this part

hahaha

 

lmao

 

my shit jump on to a network.....its not wireless btw....I have a cable box for internet...

 

^ yo nice sig man lol

Hahah I got a notice from my old ISP that I was running illegal server activities and that they suspected I was using torrents before, nothing came of it though and I just lowered my upload speed from about 800kb/s up to 100kb/s . I wouldn't sweat it, I got a warning directly from HBO another time for downloading a season of the sopranos, I just deleted it, wtf can they do at that point lol as I no longer possess it and I can always claim a friend downloaded it while using my computer

 

how do you higher the DL speed on your Torrent program or on your computer??
