Re: Does anyone still use Peerguardian anymore?

I tend to avoid the newly released movies. I also do little things to make my downloading less noticeable: allow only 1 upload slot, limit upload bandwidth, and I do run PeerBlock.

If it's a new release, which I seldom download, I use a modded version of uTorrent (no uploading). I know leechers are a hated bunch but better to be hated than sued by the MPAA.

When a copyright protection agent opens a torrent, the host tracker sends it a list of seeders and leechers (peers), including their IP addresses. As long as a peer remains in communication with the tracker, it remains on the peerlists. Only leech mechanisms that discontinue tracker communication eventually drop users off peerlists. What bitorrent users with blocklists seldom realise, is direct connection/ transfer isn't necessary to identify both them and what they're sharing, thats what the tracker is there for.

Or a private torrent site.

No need to pay for usenet.

Can be hard to get into those sites. Also got to keep a high ratio I download many 720P rips no way I upload all that back. It's good for a few things here and there.

I could probably find ways to submit an email address to dozens of private trackers, especially if given eight hours daily and 40K a year to do it with. All to often users are proud to publicly display their knowledge of these "private" communities.

I'm not a fan of the site, or able to swear to it's accuracy, but heres food for thought: »torrentfreak.com/piracy-investig···t-sites/

“Many groups didn’t start off as private. They became private because they felt threatened, so we were able to get in when they were open” “Once you’re in, you never take action. You just listen”

Scare talk, no doubt, but easily done if they wanted to really do it.
