Are you in a dorm, apartment, or still in high school ?

I got busted using bit-torrent as well. My ISP shut off my cable internet as a warning.. sent me a 5 page letter explaining why I got busted and how... and what I got busted downloading (movie).. had the date/time, everything. And if I ever got busted again, I would lose their service indefinately.

I can't really give any advice when using torrents, because 'big brother' is looking for people who are sharing their files. And when you use bit-torrent, you have to upload (hence sharing) to get good download speeds. My advice, don't use torrents for mainstream stuff.. and if you have to, don't do it at school. A good program I use is SoulSeek. Lets you only share your files with certain people, but has a good selection if you can find the right users.
