hey guys.. i'm just curious.. before i download off the hotel's internet, would there be a way for me to be caught downloading using torrent? or is it perfectly safe? i've been missing my tv shows, and i'm itching to watch them:pinch: responses appreciated, thank you!
i wouldn't log into any private trackers using the hotel's internet. but public sites are ok.
are you not allowed to use p2p for this particular hotel or what?
I guess there's only one way to find out. :lol:
Yes, that's true! haha:happy:Quote:

I'm not sure, I haven't tried.. I don't want to try yet without making sure:wacko:Quote:

Just keep your uploading capped so you don't make the connection slow as hell for other people trying to browse the interwebz.
But definitely be careful about the IP thing, don't get banned anywhere. I doubt the staff will believe the hotel thing. ;)
The different IP wouldn't mean much. I've downloaded stuff from different locations numerous times due to the fact that almost all private torrent sites use passkeys.Quote:

But actually, the more I think about it - A lot of trackers won't actually take action in the situation unless the email changes too, so you should be fine - maybe just in case, edit the profile on your trackers saying where you are and until when and tell them not to ban you.
there shouldn't be a problem from staff side.
even if they don't believe you, they can simply look up the IP just to make sure.
can you get to the sites......sometimes they block them anyway
:D:DQuote:

So use a public site and leech away!Quote:

Okay, I took all of you guys' answers in consideration.. and I actually did download..:lol: and it seemed to be fine! Thank you so much for your responses guys, I appreciate it a lot;)
yeah you would be fine anyway
yeah i've done this b4 myself (did it in hilton hotel lol)...since i didn't have a problem there...i think its a safe call that most other hotels shld be fine too :P
