Anyone know what I should do? I can't quit downloading music, although movies I don't really give a damn about. I heard about peerguardian, not sure about it though because I don't know much about it.

Fuckin scary dude, sorry to post when I don't have any suggestions to help but I just had to say that and good luck.

[Infowarrior]

I suggest you stop downloading movies and music for now. If you want to download music just go to your friends house and do it lol.

or be a bit more careful about it, gotta watch out for fake torrents and such.

[PSX]

1. Cut down on public torrents
2. Find and use private trackers more often
3. Use PeerGuardian
4. Use less torrents, go with http downloads instead, ask me or someone else for these types of forums
5. Don't reply to those letters, that's admission of guilt

If you have a wi-fi router make sure it is turned on.

Reply to them and state you don't know what the fuck they are talking about.

Keep downloading. Your connection gets cut, use another (nice way to get out of a contract if you have one).

At the end of the day they have to prove it was you downloading stuff, and if you have a wi-fi router they are basically bolloxed.

[Freaky]

They arnt objecting to you downloading they seem to be miffed about you uploading. Simple,STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!!!. He he he only kidding we all do it. Just change ISP's.

if you uses utorrent, you could try this...you might even be able to put all those ip's on the router access list. DENY THEM ALL:angry:

I had one a few years ago. Standard form when they get a complaint. You should use Protowall or Peerguardian. I use Protowall. Oh and check out the newsgroups for stuff. Used to be lots in the IRC channels but I haven't used that for a long time.

Can you isolate what the compaint was for and not use that source again?

Basically your ip address showed up and was noted by a investigator that goes on these P2P networks and compiles lists. Then the complaints go out to the ISP. Protowall filters a lot of obvious places that snoop.

Tell you don't know what they are talking about, blah blah Wifi router

and then change ISPs if you can

The dvd ripper software may have an internet monitor built in to check
the copyright.


My DVD burner says non copyright material only but is it words only.

I saw it said Truman Show.

[grell]

LOL good observation Tesla I didn't even see that it said the truman show. Yeah I downloaded that a while back and burned it to dvd. Damn. That's crazy how do they even go about finding out that I was downloading an illegal torrent. Seems like big brother type internet monitoring to me :huh:

1) Use Peerguardian

2) Don't download MPAA/RIAA material from PUBLIC trackers!

Bullshit. Mac addresses are recorded.

This happened to me twice a long time ago on DC++.

Simple truth is you have to stop DLing MPAA and RIAA hawked shit from public trackers.

You will loose your internet if you continue and risk being sued.
