Big companies have been known to pretend to be release groups releasing games and catch people's IPs through torrents and other p2p.


This is yet another reason why private trackers are great. You won't have these sorts of problems on private trackers.

Is PeerGuardian a good private tracker?

Private Trackers are Bittorrent trackers which you need an account to access. Usually, you need to be invited to the community to be able to use it.

i cant believe this thread is open.
anyway, use a proxy.
close your torrents as soon as they are done downloading (HORRIBLE FOR THE COMMUNITY, BAD ADVICE)
use peerguardian
use irc instead of torrents

I don't know if I said this already (too lazy to check), but I think I know why it happened with Zelda. I had it unencrypted to see if it would go faster...

Unless you realy realy reaaaaly need to, stop using torrents or any kind now.

You're on the isp's watch list and will most likely on it for a good while.

Using torrents is like walking into a store and shouting very loudly "I am shoplifting" over and over again.

Your isp wants to catch you out, if only to get you off their books. They dont like people downloading huge files (4.6 gig etc)
and torrents are the worst because you've also got a huge upload as well. Even if you stop right after download.
It eats away at their profit margins big time.

My advice in fact would be to change ISPs now and hopefully get a clean slate.

If you need to download back-ups of games you own then look into newsgroups but pay the extra for a service
such as giganews etc. Also look into NZB files whilst your at it. they take a lot of the pain out of newsgroups for the
layman. Make sure the news-sever you sign up with supports SSL encryption.

But the easiest way for this not to happen again is to buy or rent your games in future..

Buy a wireless card and build/buy a directional antenna and leach off of a neighbor's wireless router.
