Re: Just got letter from isp. Are they watching now?
Try to only use private sites and when you do check to see if they use a https:// encryption. One suggestion is Torrentbytes

Or look at the packet headers.
Which of course is were forcing encryption comes in. Although, I read that even encrypted headers can reveal what program was used. Admittedly, I don't know enough about that part.

Don't overreact. There are probably thousands of these letters going out every day and it's more a scare tactic than anything else.

Well I don't know a lot about all that but I think it just tells them you are using Bit-Torrent to transfer data but there's not much you can do to stop them from knowing that.

I wouldn't worry to much about it, then again I'm new to this whole bittorrent scene or whatever you call it lol.

1.) switch over to private trackers
2.) switch to different isp if they give you anymore problems
