Private torrent sites and configure the torrent client properly. |

I don't see how people realize this. It's about as much security as going to an event with metal detectors. Sure you feel safe on the inside? But what about all those people with guns on the outside who know you don't have one... |

I'm just wondering how you do this without getting legal notices? -Tzale Simple: they just ignore them. I am sure at 800GB/month, they do get noticed and just ignore the letter which could be a reason why the **AA are trying so hard to push for the 3 strikes rule because smuchks are going "a letter HA! I'll just file that in my in box *downloads more movies*".
I still don't understand why people even use bittorrent, sure its easy and fast, but the data isn't encrypted or sent over a common protocol like HTTP. Downloading over HTTP like from rapidshare no one will notice because it just looks like regular HTTP traffic and the **AA can't view who is downloading what files; yet if you want to know who the seeders are its very easy to query the tracker.
Ignorance is a bliss I suppose. |

Ignorance is a bliss I suppose. They're definitely playing with fire here.. If they keep that up, I can see them bitching on these forums when they're sued for a couple hundred thousand if not millions of dollars.

I was a member of numerous private sites when I was into BT back in the day.... And I considered it the best protection that was feasible for my usage. It's kind of like a condom... 95-99% effective... What happens when it fails?

I tell EVERYONE I know to not use bittorrent, yet everyone still does. In fact I personally know someone who got a letter from Comcast when he bittorrented a zero day movie. Did it stop him? Not in the slightest. He had a blue face, but his behavior didn't change.
If he gets sued, I'll just laugh at him. |
