(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Just yesterday I found my internet blocked on my router because (I forgot what program its called) found illegal data being downloaded onto my computer. I had to agree to the terms which basically stated it was a warning or pay the fines.

I was curious has this happened to anyone here before? I believe it was because I had accidentally left my seeding on for 2 movies, but it mentioned the downloading which threw me off.

Currently I am taking it easy on torrents and going to stick with direct links.

Anyways, any advice from anyone or events such as this?

Yes it was Time Warner Cable. Any advice for a better ISP.

Any ones you would advise? Also, should I be fine for now if I just stick with direct links?

PS: this is for whoever was asking, it was seeding 2 movies which is most likely why they found me.

Tell them it's illegal for them to peep at what your doing on the web..
Tell them it's privacy invasion and they will leave you alone..

Tell them it's a privacy violation, I did with Vodafone and it worked for me. They said they have proof me downloading illegal torrents, I asked where they came to that conclusion and they said we are able to check so I told them I've recently downloaded stuff for my bank account which includes bank pins and accounts numbers and that I could sue for a privacy violation and they just said sorry and they wont bother me again.. That was over a year ago and I download 2 or 3 movies from torrents a day now and not warning, phone calls or emails about it..

Now that's smart Winky Winky I think I might try this as this seems to be a sure fire way.
