A little history:
So I've been downloading on a mac for about 10+ years. I remember the years of Napster, Limewire and all the other Kazaa crazyness. I have never had ANY problems with hacks or legal issues. I use Little Snitch and another firewall and have used Newsgroups and Torrents for the last 4-5 years.
Now a little fun from my lame ass cable company (Comcast) started last month. I received a (stage 2) letter from them last month. I feel like the biggest dork, dumbass, douche, idiot in the computer world. Serves me right for using TORRENTS,,, I'm pretty sure it was "baited" file etc.
So my question,, has anybody had any issues with being tracked or found using NewsGroups?? I use NZBMatrix etc. and pay for a NewsHosting service etc. From what I've read online, since it's a SSL connection they would need to first find the code then and since it's encrypted they would need a "magic decoder ring" Is this true. Basically, it seems impossible unless they wanted to FBI your ass to figure out what the hell you were doing.. Correct? Thanks for the input. BTW letter attached good fun if you haven't seen one before!
