pay the extra money for the ghosting of your IP and all will be well...

I don't really understand why people still divide files into a zillion .rar pieces. Guess it made sense back then at the start of the internet, but nowadays, wtf? Are there still limits to the size of the files or something?

I remember being into newsgroups when i was a teenager and this whole internet thing was brand new, before getting into this sort of forums like TA. How does it work nowadays? Still the same?

Dude. Everything is logged. Ghosting is JOKE.

If you are smart you will pay $30 a month for Giganews w/SSL encryption. If you use that service it is not possible for someone in the middle to see what you are downloading. It's not bullet proof but it is the best you can get.

Those speeds are not uncommon. At work I get 1.3MB per second (1300k) off newsgroups. At one point with Comcast for a period of about 3 months, I was getting 3.2MB (3200k per second) off my newsgroup provider but then one day, it all stopped and I went back to around 800k per second.

Reduces chance of corruption and allows you to check and correct for it

im tired of seeing this on the Internet of pirates. everyone thinks canada is a safe-haven for pirating, it's not. you still can get in trouble. this is not Sweeden. your isp will still receive complaints and in turn they will a) blacklist you from isps b) kick you off their network c) hand you over to them.

so really we are just as fucked anyway, you may not get in trouble with the law (probably will at some point, i wouldn't be surprised) or you may. who knows. but i know CRIA will like to have a word with you if they find out your pirating shit.

I didn't say it wasn't copyright infringment what i mean is that downloading from a news server is safer as the log files are not logged on most servers , and the only other log is the client log on your news client. I could have 100 DVD Rips of movies and there is no evidence that these could have been purchased or downloaded also it depends on which country your in.

A close friend of mine was using P2P DC++ to share and download a few movies and received a letter from his ISP saying that he was sharing a video through P2P network and they have the evidence to prove this , I.P Address time and date etc. The company trying to sue him just did a search on the P2P network and from all the results releaved about 100 I.P Addresses, and thats it your caught distributing content, he had Peer Guardian but that did nothing.

Im not to familiar with bit torrent but if your a seeder of a filename and your I.P Address is visible to other people then you running the risk of getting caught same as Limewire etc.

If you want to watch a good film about file sharing download Steal This Film its created from the guys who run Piratebay.
Those guys get thousands of legal threats a year and laugh at all the top lawers trying to shut them down but due to the laws in sweden they have there asses covered.
