Re: What is the most secure method?
If you need something from a public site, places like these download for you, keeping you out of the swarm.

Thanks for those links. Unfortunately, it usually doesn't take long before these free services become highly limited or disappear altogether :(

Get this: I got one email for *each* of the songs on the 2 albums.
I immediately shut down my 24/7 eMule feed and resolved to only use BC to dl TV shows I can't get on my cable (also Comcast). Usenet I will never give up.
A buddy of mine swears that the only time he got warning emails was when he forgot to load PeerBlock first (and he was on BitComet). Don't know if I believe that or not. To me, at this point, Usenet is the safest, then eMule (obfuscated), then BitComet or uTorrent, used with Peerblock (maybe).
Also, PeerBlock has now divided into free (periodic updates) and paid (frequent updates). Have yet to decide about that. fritz
PeerBlock has turned to crap with no updates and far too many false positives. I wish there was another site with blocklists (free). I try to go through the filehoster/google route first. Then all other methods.
