I think that you risk more stealing the wifi, then downloading from p2p :|

if you upload at to high of a rate and they call up their ISP complaining about their speeds then they could realize someone within wifi range is using their internet, but other then that i wouldn't worry about it to much.

I think you could easily be detected by the wifi owner, because when you do torrenting it'll eat up a lot of bandwidth, sooner or later the wifi owner can detect your connection from within the router

That is true, if the owner is monitoring, then they would know something fishy is going on.

If he was that smart, why did he forget to secure his network???
