i think you mean, you are affraid of being suspected of piracy by your isp or something like that because you use bittorrent 24/7 right?

or if "the law" you refer to tracker's rules not to over seed, then maybe you should stop it/limit it :P

YES EXACTLY, cuz when I wake up and seed 100gb+ of stuff I'm like holy shit, This is very noticeable and could get in "trouble". You know what I mean.

I don't really think it matters whether you have a high data traffic every month.
Someone could have seeded a single torrent file, which would be a new movie and have some serious issues with antipiracy groups like RIA.

Personally I am worried and I avoid downloading movies, especially the newest ones that are still played on cinema.

having a seedbox is helpful with that

i don't use much of my home connection for upload but if i had a 100 mbit link at home, i would be crazy having a seedbox ;)

our "law" where I come from don't give a shit
I don't think they even try to catch all of those who use illeagaly downloads (if that's what you meant)

I stayed at this extended stay hotel once while on business. I set up my Azureus to run through their wireless network. I came back to the hotel one day and noticed that my WiFi had been disconnected, and upon calling a customer service rep I was informed that there was a "massive" amount of data being dl'ed/up'ed and it was causing a slow connection speed for other users.

Simply put, I danced around the subject by saying that my job requires a lot of data to be downloaded and uploaded to their FTP site. They couldn't argue a single bit with me. :lol:

I wouldn't be too worried.

when I first got in to bittorrent (before I was a part of the private community) I would be scared at night that the cops were going to break in and arrest me. not joking either but when I first was downloading my music off of suprnova I new little to nothing about the law and how little I needed to worry.
but still today I try not to get cocky and say "nothings going to happen" when they could be down the hall right now:ph34r: :ermm:
