Make sure you're not seeding, when you finish a download make sure you close the torrent program completely so people can't seed off you.

Basicaly be what they call a leecher just download the torrent and stop it when it is done.. When you use software such as peerblock and etc then yes the chances of being caught are reduced but there is always a chance you will get caught.. First time is generally a warning then you get hit with a fine or a lawsuit

IF it copyrighted material yes it wrong and breaks the law.

Also the fact your IP on show the whole time means a way to trace you.

Ways to hide it , but you can be traced no matter what you do i believe.

File sharing was designed to share files , problems was people shared copyrighted material.
And big rod is right

Most companies go after the uploaders over the downloaders it easier to take down the leak.
Why do you think geohotz being sued by sony it the same reason.

:/
Shocked people think it legal to share copyrighted material.

If you're only downloading, as I said. If you're getting illegal pirated versions, putting them in Torrents, & sharing them with a name, you have a bigger chance.

IvLy friend is getting tracked by his ISP because he is apparently using too much bandwidth per month. Other than that, they don't care.
