Looks like Im going to have to start buying music then

edit - and change to a better ISP. Seriously whats the point in offering 24mb (Virgin) when you know people are only going to use it to download films and music faster and faster

Legal downloads perhaps?

I haven't downloaded for ages as I don't spend enough time on the net, but this would be enough to put me off - last thing I want is a letter to fall through the door and my parents realising

Im pretty sure they will be only able to tell your downloading through torrent sites etc, basicly any sites ran through the isp.

If you use a file sharing program like Limewire then I dont think they can see as it is a computer application and it is illegal for them to access your computer, they can only see what sites youve been going on etc..could be wrong though

torrents and limewire is the same. and can be tracked the same way.

The best way at the moment to download vast stuff is an 20Connection SSL Newsgroup

Yes it is the same 'peer to peer sharing' but what im saying is using an app like Limewire should prevent them looking at what your doing as they cannont breech the privacy act and access your computer.

they dont need to breach your computer. Limewire your going to pulling data from different IP's when downloading so it will be noticable

Yup the only secure way at the moment is to use an SSL Newsgroup provider or SSL encypted torrents/p2p (not sure if they exist yet).
Could also try and use the Tor Project stuff, but it's likely to be slow as shite.

If it's in your "shared folder" on utorrent or Limewire (or whatever program) then anyone can view what your uploading.

If your suspected of uploading copyrighted material, your IP address is noted and your ISP contacted to request your contact details.

Surely you can't get told off simply for using limewire or torrents? What about things you're downloading legally on it? Bits of shareware? Music people have created themselves, etc, etc.

Copy n Paste from a u2u I sent to someone off here who asked for info:

You can use Newshosting for my provider ($15/month or £7.50 in real money!)
It DL's all through a program called: Newsbin Pro (should be able to DL a evaluation version somewhere then DL a crack full version through it! )
And you can use www.newzbin.com or www.merlins-portal.net for .nzb files (which you load into Newsbin Pro)
There is also www.newzxxx.com if you're after that kind of thing!

Merlins Portal is free - just register
Newzbin you have to buy credit but it's pence/week and you get access to newzxxx with that aswell.

I'm sure you can work the rest out for yourselves - it's quite simple

an ex of mine worked for an ISP and they could trace it by looking at users who are either downloading masses of data (would be followed up) or uploading more than they download (ie sharing data)

ISP's ca inspect every packet you send and receive, they know exactly what you're downloading if they want to, nothing to do with breaching anything by looking on your computer.

i download fuck loads through private sites, we'll see if i get a letter, if i do, i'll ring up and cancel. there will be a clever ISP who will advertise as "we dont watch what your doing" and get loads of business because of it

"will see hundreds of thousands of letters sent to net users suspected of illegally sharing music"

until I see a successful prosecution for this then I may think about it, not that i download much anyway
