(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?

I download torrents occasionally. Movies, games, crap like that. I don't seed. I have Time Warner. No problem for me.

I don't use TPB much I generly just use demonoid.me so try using them websites but you may of got a unlucky torrent and it had somthing in it which traced it back to you. To avoid this if you go on TPB you can see some of the members have somthing next to there name, Its normally "Helper, Trusted, VIP" Helper or Trusted you want to try get at but VIP should be ok, well you got more chance of getting caught with a torrent that has nothing to a torrent thats VIP. Hope this helped Upside Down Happy Happy Torrenting!


demonoid.me is down. Got any other recommended private torrent website ?
