the speed will be the same, depending on what wireless you're using. if wireless g, then you wont see a difference on internet, but you will on intranet.

the best way to stay "safe" in bittorrenting is to use something like the safepeer plugin for azureus, or the same type of thing for whichever client you use.

There are so many using bittorent so it's a very small chance getting caught.

It depends on the connection you were on and the wireless you're using. There are 2 type of wireless connection that most ppl use now, it's 802.11g and 802.11n, if you're on g wireless you have max speed of 54Mbps, if you're n wireless connection then you have max speed of 144Mbps, while the wired connection has 2 speeds, 100Mbps and 1Gbps. But again, it depends on the speed of the internet connection. Even if you're wireless n connection but the internet connection speed is only at 3Mbps, then it would be the same whether you're using the wireless or the wired connection.
