best thing to do is to buy a vpn, especially from a swedish one. Although your download speed will certainly decrease, that is probably the safest way to torrent. Since your ip address will be based in Sweden, which is where piratebay is located.
the peeps that are sharing are what the cops are after.
i have downloaded allmost ever day over ten years and never had a problem,
the key is to clean your pc regularily with a programme such as ccleaner or glary utilties, .
and for downlods use a software programme that dont keep history, i suggest "utorrent" what u download u burn. then rewrite your hard drive to clear disc,,it's not rocket science,
Why do the police care so much about people stealing like $120 worth of games music and stuff? Shouldn't they be worrying about more important things than if somebody just stole skyrim and a beach boys cd?
@ApplaudedZebra If it is "stealing" then all copy machines need to be destroyed. Along with cameras, T.V., and the human brain along with it. I DARE them to bring me to court in front of an American jury. I don't believe people are going down over and over again, over the same thing that production, and distribution companies do on a regular basis. The artist NEVER makes the true money in this country, and the people they sue make absolutely 0 money from it.
OK everyone...PEER BLOCK is only as reliable as YOU make it. You are responsible for updating and keeping track of the ip addresses on you blocklists.
Infected torrents. Once you download one a bot comes in and hacks. Luckily one trying to hack my data server where I torrent everything didn't even come close and it tried for a MONTH. I managed to block it with my bro's help.
How the hell do you get "Caught" downloading torrents? I torrent next to everything (Games, music, movies) and I NEVER got/get caught... Besides, if something like my ISP trys to come at me for downloading pirated software, I can come at them for invasion of privacy.
@Gmod1001 2 ways one is bandwidth usage and the second are trackers. Its not the downloading that gets you in trouble its when you seed. Which I do because i'm not a lamer. And good luck with the 'invasion of privacy' you are broadcasting it on their service and they can look at it if they want.
i don't use anything and i have never been caught, i'm living in uk, maybe they arn't as harsh? i use malware bytes, ms security essentials and tor. should i still use peer block?
@crudnup I don't know what the rules are in the UK, I'm in the US. I use utorrent, when you connect and start downloading a torrent any one can see your IP address, that's how they catch you here, I'm about 95% certain. When they see your IP address uploading a recent copyrighted movie, it's a crime and they send you a warning e-mail. I have 1 tip, send me a personal message if you are interested, I don't like talking in the comments section.
@BXAssasinatorXS Yeah, it can get tricky though. Google tehparadox, that's a site I use (it has a community of over a million). It can be more time consuming than torrents, but it's a LOT safer (from my knowledge nobody's ever gotten in trouble)
I recently built a new PC and have always used PeerBlock and a proxy server. Over the weekend I installed PeerBlock again but neglected to put in my proxy info and received my 3rd MPAA warning. So just a heads up that PeerBlock by itself does not make you safe.
@nmarkus666 What do you use to stay safe? I don't want to get caught but I cant resist downloading the latest games and movies on bittorrent before I buy them? Please help
@MrAMGvideos BTGuard.com seems like a scam but its really not. They have an awesome Proxy and i've used it for a long time. They even have an install now that will install UTorrent with the proxy info already put in so you dont have to worry about it.
@nmarkus666 Proxy info? Sorry, i'm not new to torrenting, but I am new to "safe torrenting". I don't want assholes breathing down my neck. Could you explain this a little more please.
LOL, There is no program or way that will guarantee your safety from getting caught. I got caught just 2 weeks ago. It cost me 1500 dollars. I received the complaint on a Wednesday and by the following Monday they wanted there money. They are getting better and faster at catching you. I ignored the first warning and now paid a big price. Now i have to work tons of overtime to recover my loss. I was lucky to only have to pay 1500. They started off at 2500.Settling is becoming big business
Is this one of those VPNs? I used CyberGhost, and when I tried to connect, I think my internet connection went off. Like I couldn't get on AOL or anything, it was just stuck on the first step.
@GOPrEvil that's not really how it works. Two ways, when you're downloading a torrent your IP address is show to be downloading from that particular torrent. Company's can track the IP address if they monitor the torrent, but they can only find out the ISP company you use and contact them, they can't find any personal information. Or they can bust the host of the torrent who might have a list of ip address's that have downloaded from him and systematically go through them all.
@GOPrEvil certain Internet services can monitor what you're downloading. My buddy's internet stopped working cause he was downloading a torrent and the company forced him to remove it from his computer. When you sign a contract they OWN you.
One Time i Downloaded a Movie and Some People in Black suits Came and Said That I Get One Warning To Stop Downloading Movies! And Guess What? I Didn't!
@GOPrEvil The government can do a lot legally without you knowing, its their country they can do what they want if they think its necessary. I mean that factually, I'm not like some conspiracy theorist or anything. If they suspect terrorists, they will read their emails, listen to their phone calls, track their movements. If they suspect illegal downloading, they will watch what you browse, track your torrents etc. Its exactly the same scenario.
@GOPrEvil There is but the Corporations don't give a fuck , and you should Look into ACTA its bill to be signed world wide you can vote against you just gotta know what it is google : ACTA
When you connect with other computers you give them your IP address. This is how the internet connects people. If you are doing something illegal, someone who has received your IP address can then get a court order and demand the details of your IP address, personal contact information, name etc... What is illegal is that Internet providers like Comcast now just give away personal information without a trouble, this is a violation of first amendment is some situations.
@GOPrEvil 1. United States Government is apparently above the law when it comes to the internet. US basically has the internet of the world in its hands
2. Goodfight the Constitution. I want my Bill-of-Rights RIGHTS back
you should wait a while before downloading a new movie that just came out to dvd/blu-ray because they are on the clock like crazy to see how well their sales are doing. when they stop selling a lot after a while...THEN thats when you can try to get it
ur most likely to get caught by the ones who didnt make a lot of money so be careful guys lol
If you get caught and they have something on you downloading they contact your isp.At the moment they only have a ip number nothing else.it,s the court what force them to hand over your details
Setup a separate computer for filesharing, the cheapest option is use an old machine you already own or buy used on craigslist. Install Avast anti-virus free edition, utorrent (set it to forced encrypt on outgoing traffic, disable legacy connections, and enable web interface), and peer block. On peer block include in the block ads, educational, p2p, and spyware.
Can you use peerblock AND hidemyass-VPN together for extra protection? What if you connect to a server in a country that has no copyright laws. Would that make it legal to download because it''s technically being downloaded in that country?
@ samyangful: you're totally wrong, trackers will allow subbed out agencies to find you. I recently was napped by paramount for friends with benefits. It's not even that new of a movie but I didn't start peerguardian that time and tahts all it takes.
@samyangful yup i don't download from torrents but i do upload and i live in a 3rd world country and my speed went downhill! So my only solution is to change my isp. simple as that oh and next time i'll protect myself better!
It all depends on what torrent you're downloading too if it's a popular game movie etc the chances of being caught are of course higher but "A friend" ;) downloaded a lot of torrents without using anything at all to protect himself and he got caught for like 4 or 5 because he was stupid and wasn't reading the comments but after that he stopped for a while and when he started downloading again he didn't download any game system torrents like xbox ps3 etc they're simply too high risk
As you've probably realized the ap2p-organizations already have your ip by the time peerblock will block them for the first time. That's mainly because the tracker knows what you want to download and spreads your ip to other peers who want to download the same. All the peers usually exchange their peer-lists as well, so basically the tracker needs to run the blacklist and all the peers have to make sure they do not exchange peer-lists.
