The complaint was registered by Paramount/Dreamworks. Has this happened to anyone else? Now I am super paranoid :( |

As far as I know, I was only downloading :conf: I will check my settings when I get home.
From what I gather, this is only a "warning" email..? Not sure. Just wanted everyone else to be aware when partaking in their own activities. |

Yeah my friends got it ... what BT client are you using?
They were using bitcomet before, once that happened ... I forced them to use uTorrent w/ ipfilter and so far nothing has happened and that was a year ago. |

Bitlord. Would you mind giving me detailed instructions on setting up uTorrent w/ ipfilter because I don't even know what that means. |

uTorrent is a BT client. Almost every site was demanding users to use this client, b/c it didn't leak any data while uploading or downloading.
ipfilter is pluggin' used for uTorrent, it's a database of all the "bad ;)" IPs .... it's always updated. Once this database is DLed and activated on your utorrent, whatever "bad ;)" IPs are connected to your comp, it's atuomaticly banns it.
I updated my ipfilter everyday. |

ditch the email and dont worry. your isp is not releasing your details to paramount/dreamworks. They are simply forwarding the complaint and serves as a warning.
Id say avoid non-private bit torrents. Oftentimes, they will put fakes seeds out there to find out who leeches the copyrighted content and if u download, they nag your ISP |
