That's what I meant with offline. :)

Well in that case that is quite hopeless because I don't know anyone that plugs out their modem :)

yeah ive stayed well clear of tl for a few years now ever since a mate got a letter through the door saying his ip was seen on there downloading some film. suppose its a risk you take when its a big site like that sadly. also the adverts piss me off, like they dont get enough cash from donations with all those users?

Spoofing your modems-id is another thing. Don't know if that is actually possible but that would mean you can pretend to be let's say your neighbour who has the same ISP.

You're way off with what I meant. An ISP can't do anything with an IP address. It has to prove the IP address is used in an illegal manner to incriminate you. Even then the next hurdle is proving that it's actually you carrying out the illegal activity.

That's where spoofing the ID matters. There are many exploits that can remote identify a router ID and address just based on IP address. Read about them.

It's over-reaching but I'd rather stay on top of my game when I'm carrying out illegal activity instead of falling back on "as if they'd ever go that far."

It's a very intensive exploit, but it exists.

its best to avoid open signup public trackers like TL or IPT. Stick to smaller private sites. All the content is the same with less risk of being monitored.

TL has the best retention of all trackers on the web, you can still use it for old releases as your ISP will never send you a letter for a 5 years old movie.

how do you mean by sign up public trackers? i thought ipt and tl was closed and invite only?

I'm guessing he means TL and IPT are so easy to get in they're like a public tracker to him.

With all the money everyone saves, who can't afford a seedbox?
