hello,
I have been reading for a while now that MPAA and other government agencies are cracking down. I would like to know what programs are usable to guaranteed protection. I only download from private trackers. I already know about peerguardian 2 and use it. Are there any other programs and what else precautions can I use to guarantee not getting caught.
Thanx

Firewall? Even with peerguardian you can get caught, Safest way is to just not download at all. Haha today was a great day for me. "Sarcastically" One of my classes that I was looking forward to got cancelled for the semester and I get a warning letter.
peerguardian is completely useless. i dont know why ppl think this program is so good. the best way not to get caught is not downloading at all like ooxxoo said. but there are so many ppl sharing files nowadays that all you get is a warning (they cant catch and sue everyone).
whats the highest amount of warnings anyone has received?Quote:

As others have said, the only sure fire way not to get caught is not to do it in the first place.
People seem to think that PG2 gives them protection from being caught, but from what I have read, it only blocks the connection to you, your IP address is still recorded. Some people have said that this could be a factor in anyone trying to bring a law suit against you as they would be able to prove an IP address, but no content uploaded from your connection. I'm not sure about this but for the time being there is no harm in using IP filtering tools.
The various programs that provide a level if anonimity such as I2P or tor look like being the best bet in the future, though I think they're toonew and small at the moment for decent file sharing
Ive gotten over 12 ceast and decist letters acctually.
Just can your isp and get a new one.
Long as they company that caught you dl their files doesnt ask for your personal info you should be fine. Since a new isp wouldnt have any records of your past doings.
i dont think that is even an option :DQuote:

:D :D :D :D :D
i don't really know what you are guys talking about
because i don't have any trouble like this
in my country no one ask you what you are doing
that is cool
;) ;)
there is no sure fire way not to get caught
if u want to be 100% safe then dont download.
They dont have to sue everyone.Quote:

also, I dont think the "normal" user is in any danger of getting cought, althou I dont know if its the case in USA, but here in Iceland the government would only go after the biggest ones and did 2 years ago, the big dc++ case, they went after 12 guys, all of them sharing over 1 TB...the case is still open, and with torrents its harder to proof things
Move to Canada :P
Ignore that last post...we don't want ye!! hehe
Canada? Go to Netherlands or Sweden!
