Well, after about a week without running bit torrent, i decided I'd reconfigure my machine to use a different port, re-assign myself a new ip address and see what happened....
Five seconds after loading into Azereus, peer guardian went crazy, blocking constant connections from safenet inc, time warner, riaa, mpaa, various army barracks and RIPE communications in holland!!! All trying to attack my old b/t port and my new one....
Feeling slightly paranoid still, I cancelled the download and just watched as for the next twenty or so minutes, peerguardian blocked over 1000 different IP address from connecting to these ports, Outpost couldn't even hack the amount of traffic being generated and ground to a halt!! Still no letter but I still feel I am being watched, severly!
Is there any chance that the time they got in that they may of installed something in Azereus to tell them when I use b/t? My old port isn't even open on any of my firewalls now but still the attacks come. I think I am probably more worried about the allowed connections to these ports during this time, running the ARIN WHOIS? search, it seems that the riaa amongst others have a helluva lot of unfiltered ports that they can still connect to you through. What were they upto? Have I been comprimised again? this only happened yesterday, the first time I have used b/t since my first concern and I haven't noticed anything like this happening when i use this machine to browse the web...
Ideas please anyone? (that don't require me melting my HDD or leaving the country please!)
Again, I'm in the UK so does anybody know if these connections are even gonna be relevant?
Thanks in advance!

M8 I wouldn't worry about it too much PG blocks alot of stuff that isn't a problem. I don't think the anti p2p forces will use easily identifiable addresses if they realy want to fuck you over.
on top of that if they've installed spyware on your computer then your prety safe as anything they find out about what your doing will be thrown out of court as installing shit on your system ie: hacking it is illegal.
having said that what the fuck do I know i'm no lawyer and i've never been sued by the mpaa.
If your realy worried put your computer in safe mode and do some serious spyware anti virus scans. also run a hijack this scan and either research it yourself or find someone on the net to help you figure out exactly what's running on your system and if there is somthing there get rid of it
