quosego Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Just the safepeer plugin and that's all.... no need for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dhorse Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 TV rips are as legal as VCR timeshifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostShadow Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 What protective measures do you use? I tried to fit a condom over my computer, but i just cant seem to keep Viruses out :( And whats all this about Deleting accounts to save yourself? There is nothing the MPAA scum bags can do to you for having a fourm account... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well since Mp what ever hasn't locked down my DVR and VCR other then that there's the good old protowall, and proxy changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldor Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Meh, none of those measures could be considered proper treatments to secure yourself. The solution - dont share. Just leech it all from a premium news host. The better usenet provides also ssl encrypt the session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroUK Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I put cloves of garlic around my modem. :D And some holy water. And I keep a pistol loaded with silver bullets handy, in case they come through my door. And some stakes as backup, in case the gun jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberbob Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Peerguardian all the way...anybody heard of a better way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahless Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Tv shows aren't legal they are copyrighted material just like any movie or song. I've been busted for downloading tv shows myself. Downloaded a season of stargate atlantis and got caught for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orwellian Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Haha! I live in Wales and we do have electricity (pedals bicycle dynamo faster) and broadband is achieved by lining up sheep so that they bleat in sequence. ;) You should hear 'em go when doing 2Mbps! :D Mbps= Million 'Baaaa' Per Second?

Konst Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The best protective measure when using torrent is not using a torrent at all, just freaking buy what you want to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Torrent technology is legal. Not all torrents are for illegal media. If the creators would start to utilize this new technology and develop a newer method of advertising such as embedded ads then the illegal video downloads would become legal through paid advertising. Oh yeah, topic-wise: I use azureus with safepeer and a firewall plus Norton's worm protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avagriffon Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Azureus 2.4.0.2 uses highly efficient decentralized tracking and a RC4 encrypted tunnel – There are services that obfuscate your IP putting you behind a big NAT router (basically) logs are deliberately not maintained. With this approach by the time MPAA, ISP or the NSA figure out what your I/O traffic is the copyright will have long expired. IP blocklists are reactive - Private IP from a service or product like 'Anonymizer' is the only true way obscure your traffic and hide your ISP assigned IP. The only other way I can think of is an Open Wi-Fi hotspot thus using someone else’s IP - sometimes you can find one with UnPnP enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Ip hi-jacking with wi-fi is a good one, and is one i would surely claim was happening to me should i get an email from these bloodsuckers. as i said in another post if my pc was 'scanned' by these ppl then i would claim any material they found on my pc had been placed there by the infiltrator. this has been done before and the case was dropped ;) A good Wireless router is a worthwhile investment for any torrent user make sure it is secure tho lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I use the sponge. Seriously though...I don't sweat it. I don't have much in this world. Let them try to get the little I have. No big loss...but I would burn down my house before I'd let them take it from me. Natch. c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalith Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I use utorrent with protocol encryption (PE) this means they have no idea what it is that is being transcieved by my pc, i hear peer guardian not only slows ya pc but also reduces the number of DHT nodes. PE is enough by itself i also use Hamachi (a VPN) to send files to my friends,chat and play games it also has PE. if you use hamachi message me.

Guest c4evap Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 There must be millions and millions of downloaders out there. Should we really worry all that much? c4 :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilander72 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I use as little torrent protections as possible, since I know I'm protected by law. :) I'm vigilant when protecting my network, mail and everything else though (damn hackers, jackers, spammers, corpses, etc...).
