Thoughts on this?

FUCK THE POLICE

I was thinking possible workarounds.

Not living in the US

>not giving a fuck

lololololol

not using torrents :)

^ what he said

Well shit.

Good thing I rarely use torrents anymore. Gonna suck when I want to though.

Well at least I have Hulu and crunchyroll, doesnt cover everything I watch but it covers some

was there a list of ISPs that would be doing this though?

So far it's AT&T, Cablevision, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon.

well shit i got comcast lol oh well wonder if they can track private torrents

That it?
In that case im in the clear, as it is my provider only seems to be in Florida, and not the whole of the U.S

Switch to Deluge.

Better than any other client anyways.

I've never heard of this client.

I've been using uTorrent but that's been acting shitty so I think I'll switch to this.

whats good about it?

Less of a memory hog, better/more settings for private trackers, more queue control.

That, and BakaBT doesn't support newer versions of uTorrent where as it fully supports Deluge.

It doesn't ?
i just downloaded something today and i'm only missing 1 update, i didn't felt like updating it today


well i just saw this on their wiki
"Due to bad experience with bug prone "stable" releases new µtorrent versions are whitelisted with some delay "

]A vpn or a seedbox would make it near impossible for them to trace anything back to you.

Of course, these things cost money.

im sure itll just create millions of angry customers lol

I'm wondering how they'll differentiate from "illegal" peer to peer to something that's not through the internet. Cause games often use Peer to peer for updating, so how can they tell the upload/download rates are not that or something from a torrent.

Well, they have no right to be angry about, they are breaking the law after all...
if anything people will look for a new provider that doesn't enforce this and the providers change their ways back if the client loss is too great.

I assume that ISP have ways to check any little detail on what connection you are making and just go from there.
I'm sure they would find weird when they see that you are streaming content from the same thing everyday.
