Oh noez! I'm shaking in my little fur-lined booties!

I'll just go and format my servers, donate a dollar to charity and repent to my local preacher.

I mean, for fucks sake they hardly even prosecute people for piracy in America, let alone come to a country that most Americans don't even know exists to hassle ya.

You'll only get nailed if you're actively selling pirated media - and you will get nailed for that.

But just downloading for personal use? Go hard mateys. And if you want to stay below the radar, download via IRC - torrents gets all the publicity, Direct Connect clients is slower but still decent, but you never hear of IRC. Fast too!


Of course, not that I know anything about this sort of activity.

They do sent letters to local isp about local users download stuff.

Don't ask how i know.

but for all xp users, downloading using p2p should use a bit of software called PeerGuardian - > http://phoenixlabs.org/pg2/

PeerGuardian is already integrated into the better Direct Connect clients, and I believe torrent clients too. (I only download via the net for rare, classic movies).

If you want to do some real downloading [leeching], go to a LAN.

Usually 60+TB on the hub, minimum, and you get a pretty steady 40-50Mb/s.
