Caught torrenting game. Cox temporary disabling internet. Advice/help?

When I used to download torrents, I never would seed them back, harder to be caught. That, and Peerblock.

All VPN keep logs. They have to protect against illegal activity. Just because you get no warning for torrenting does not mean that they are not logging you.

That's wrong.. Should read some TOS sometime.

Not if you run your own and disable logging. There's also purveyors on cybercrime forums that do indeed offer logless VPN services because it's also in their best interest. These are usually safer than commercially available ones as well.

I am sorry but you are wrong. You are getting into a greyarea with torrenting, some may say that they are simply torrenting their own stuff but no doubt piracy rules in that world. TOS don't mean a single thing. You should learn more on how things really are and how they work.
And if you can't do that then think about the cheap price of a VPN service. They have to protect themselves!

Wrong. Downloading gets you busted too. Peerblock also has the tendency to block good peers too. The blocklist I posted on page 2 is better.

It's not spying if you tell them you're pirating. Hence peer too peer.

Still, it's stupid that they care.

If only this were true. Then half these no log VPN providers would be out of business for false advertising.

Those are indeed true and valid points but no normal and average user of torrents and the internet should mess with those things, especially the second option.

Never got in trouble in the past, *shrug* I don't trust torrents anymore, too risky for viruses and malware.

For what it's worth on logs, PIA had their logging policy tested. Logs were requested by the fbi over something or other and PIA had nothing to hand over.

Tell them you are sorry and locked your shiznit down. When they reactivate, get your ass on a VPN and torrent away.

Thing is, it is true. They openly say that no logs are stored but indeed they are. They don't have to be out of business, they only use the logs on important cases and there find a way to not get their name mentioned.

Only trust scene releases. NFO and SFV files do serve a purpose other than showing off ANSI skills; file verification. If the release fails to match the hash in these files then you know it's been tampered with or at least modified.

All you can do is take them at their word. Many VPNs have had requests to hand over logs by local governments and had nothing to hand over. At this time you're spouting a bunch of fearmongering BS with nothing to back up your claims.

As for my recommendation, NordVPN is a solid choice. I have been using them for year now, and have encountered no problems. There is even an in-built killswitch in the provided client that you can specify what programs have their process killed should your connection drop.

I also have Time Warner Cable and I do use U torrent I was getting Ubuntu one day and they cut me off and I had to call them they were not the nice to talk to the guy was being an ass I got a supervisor and told them that it is not illegal to torrent just some people use it for illegal things told them I was getting Ubuntu with it and that is a free OS and its not illegal plus told them if they did it anymore I would sue them (internet privacy laws I listed to them I was reading on some random web page on my phones net don’t know if they were true or real) They looked and seen what I was downloading new the file name and everything told them that its agents the law to spy like that don’t know if that is true or not told them that I’ll just get off the phone and call my attorney they told me they were cutting my net back on not to worry about it it would not happen anymore.

I can now torrent anything I would like to now even games without using a vpn and they will not cut me off anymore don’t know if I am untouchable now or they don’t want to have to deal with me anymore. But I have not used torrents at all this year. all this happend like 2 years back.

I apologize if you find my posts too harsh or completely BS but I have witnessed and heard from very reputable and respectable persons into VPNs whose words can be trusted (at least for me, and I do know that this post will get quoted and laughed with "lol heard from very reputable and .... and he calls that a argument") that logs are stored.
Eitherway, not to start with the wrong foot in here, I stand back and refrain for now.

Ha, this just happened to me as well. Three strikes and they took away my internet. Except it wasn't my internet... it's my parents. Needless to say they were pissed and now I've been wondering how to get around this happening again.

Even if the VPN relinquishes logs to government agencies and anti-piracy organizations?

Go with pia then. They've had fbi requests for logs and had nothing to hand over, so their "no logs" has been tested.

Alternativly come over here (UK), where they've given up with the stick and use the carrot just have some nonsense campaign where you get asked not to do it and told where to get it legally. Beyond that there is nothing anymore, no details handed over and no limit to how many times they politely ask you not to
