even if u seed...as long as its old/relatively old shyt (3-5 months old even), no one will care.

most people get caught downloading/seeding newer stuff thats hot.

when they wanna catch someone it doesnt matter really. theyll just dump the list of seeding/leeching ip addresses and send the letters to all of those addresses via your isp

Its happening. Most of my favorite spots are getting blocked on my isp. I have to work around it :to:



Torrents are the only thing keeping a brotha on his feet. NZB are too window's oriented for me to feast on :deadhorse:

See here's the thing. What you just said NEVER happens. It happened, but it never happens. You know what I'm saying?
If it were ever to happen, they would do just that. They'd send you a letter
They'd send you multiple on top of mulitple letters. Then they would just cut your service off.
The ONLY people they would be going after are the ppl who put the movies out there to be shared. Not the sharers.
Now if they put out a bootleg movie with a tracking virus in it? Then they might go after you, but that is only for new releases for Major movies. Think Star Wars or some shyt (they actually did do it for that movie)

But once again, we know who the real uploaders are. Fakes get recognized by the community immediately and they warn you to not fukk with them.
Only dummies get caught up (*knocks on wood*)

:manny:
seeders get it worse but there have been TONS of cases of people getting caught using torrents just to leech.

and yea like ive said honeypots happen for hot shyt. I wouldnt touch a public tracker hot new movie/game that has just leaked for a couple of weeks.

I do agree that with common sense precautions one should be fine tho. one of these precautions is to wait for new shyt to cool down and be reported safe.

:childplease: these "tons of cases" are urban myth like crocodiles in the sewers

do you actually know someone in person that has been caught for using torrents?

plus even if you are so scared of someone finding your ip through torrent you can always change your ip i.e. by programs or filters in utorrent and :eat:

I do know one dumbass who downloaded a torrent movie on a college network :facepalm: almost got kicked out.

otherwise I dont know anyone in person but you can always google shyt, it got real names. not urban legends.

Im not scared of shyt, and "changing ips" doesnt really work unless youre using a strictly anonymous non-us based proxy. if they want to get your ip they will get it, end of story.
