Never use public trackers for p2p

 

Stop using torrents, change DNS, get a strong no log VPN, block all ads, disable location, and if possible, set up a second router as a VPN gateway.
You can also steal your neighbor Wifi !!!

china isps are controlling by china communist party, they inspecting any internet users from china, and controlling their internet connections, stolen user data and privacy, blocking pages they dont want people to see, and use ddos to attacking other countries web, so people must use 3rd party vpn and double vpns to browsing sites, and refused by these sites due to safety considerations

 

I use Vpn, Torrent leecher, Premium Downloader, Ad blocker & Anti-virus

 

Fight for you rights, and if not aware of them all and/or the details, google them!

 

This why I only use FTP

 

Actually you should use SFTP.

 

Using a VPN is the best advice, mind your opsec and your sigint. Also, read your local laws, as well as your ISP's policies.

As for legal weight, an IP address is not a lot of evidence in and of itself. The reason it is typically enough is because people admit to having done it, afraid of needing to defend themselves in court, so they take a slap on the wrists. Unless you admit to sharing, and/or there is more evidence than just your IP address, there is really not enough there to bust you or sue you.

The bigger risk for most people is losing their ISP service. Just because you can legally get claims of infringement dismissed doesn't mean your ISP will be OK with it, they will take the course of least risk, and cancel your service. And in many regions, that one ISP might be your only option

Personally, I think that all property is superstitious BS, and that "intellectual property" is even more preposterous. So I'd love to have a little time and resources to honeypot some of these asshole companies and slap them back. Spoof torrent hashes so that you can be part of the swarm while proving that neither uploaded nor downloaded any of their IP. Oops! Hosting shares with file names that sound like cracks, but are just a rar'ed video of somebody reviewing it.

 

not a bad idea, looked in to it but that would require a days worth of coding and a reconfigure of servers and I way too lazy now days for all that, Why break what has been working for 15 plus years on my end. I get what I want ,when I want. no worries

 

I've received a couple. It happened a few years back. The first one I kinda panicked, but nothing came from it. Then a few months later I received another. Both were from a couple of movies I don't even have anymore. I remember googling the crap out of any consequences I could face, but they were both warnings only. Both were also from using public tracking torrents. Not sure if anyone ever heard of the site YTS I think it was, which has long been shut down. Suffice it to say, considering I rarely watch movies, TV, etc... I stopped downloading anything video years ago. Nothings happened since, and I would say it was about 5 or so years ago. I don't even use Torrents anymore, no need really. Thanks for the good post SAiNT, it brought me back in time...

 

if you really want to download torrents in a way that is extremely fast and very difficult to trace back to you, sign up for a premium account at real-debrid and use a vpn from provider that does not keep logs. real-debrid allows you to enter a magnet link and then they present you with an encrypted download link. the torrent never passes through your computer. using the vpn is just a safeguard against linking the download back to you through timestamps.

 

The land of the free.

 

So, SAiNT basically has it covered, but below is just my personal experience and the small bits of knowledge I have gleaned from more than a few years of stumbling around the internet.
Though it dates me (slightly,) I remember when Napster came out. I say that in hopes to give a small amount of creedence to the fact I know my way around the block. That being said, I, personally, have had *many dealings with providers and the people they answer to (not the companes directly, they have smaller people who handle their affairs,) and there has never been anything, no matter how guilty I may or may not have been, that I didn't settle easily with a few, concise emails or sit-downs with people.

*Below is just what I have gleaned from my interactions with providers and the people they answer to from the copright holders.*

There are, to my knowledge, only two types. The first is more of a bluff, in which they send you a "Stop Doing Illegal Shit" warning which is basically the provider alerting you that you are using an unusual amount of data. Downloads aren't really a Red Flag due to streaming, but if they look into it, they will be able to see patterns that don't sync up with streaming. This is basically something that they are actually required to do. *They have no personal interest in your activities online.* Remember that. Many companies that release movies, music and other media approach the providers for information on any possible pyrates and, in addition, if any flagrant illegalities are spotted, the provider is obviously obligated to report it/them. Basically, your ISP are the cops, not the judge & jury. They are just patrolling, so anything that comes from them is relatively superflous.
The second is one in which they have actually found that something with a trace on it or have found you in a flagged area and there are confirmed downloads from there; nowadays, the majority of those torrents (or, less often, direct downloads,) are new movies from large movie houses and music that has just been released.
The first is a no-brainer. All I've ever done is either approach the provider--initially, pre-warning, or afterwards--when I first sign up and tell them that any large downloads or uploads are due to the fact that I transfer a lot of open files with high amounts of data due to the fact that they are uncompressed, open layered audio, video or graphic design work that I send back and forth to people who I am collaborating with. If you go in and talk to someone personally and tell them, *in heavy detail,* to make a note of all the technical shit that you do, they quickly lose interest and agree to put a digital note on your account that explains any crazy spikes in your usage or just an unusallylarge amount of uploads and downloads. Also, *make sure to let them know that you are not the sole user.* Simply tell them that you have peop[e over all the time and assure them that you try to monitor all of the goings-on in the house to the best of your ability but you often have people house-sit for you, study at your place, or....well, make up something that sounds legit. As I said, the providers have no investment in what you do online unless you are blatantly caught red-handed. So as so long as you allow your provider to either have a sit down with you (or email/mail correspondence, though, as I mentioned, I find it all goes *much smoother when you talk someone in-person,) *which fulfills their obligation,* you're golden.
Even the companies/people who are looking for pyrates do not pay much attention to people who are illegally downloading anything. Contest this all you want, but I have spoken with people in-the-know, and, while they're not happy with the fact that people are kyping their product, the simple fact is, if thirteen thousand people download the newest Marvel installment on [insert pyrate site here,] they are not going to follow every damn trace and bring them to justice. This sort of manuever is costly to them, and despite what people say, *they actual have very little assurance that will win in a court of law.* Numerous cases over the years have been tossed straight out of court, never had any follow-through, or, and this is a real thing, they decided not to pursue any action because there was insignificant evidence--this often meaning the court/judge isn't even savvy enough to see the data they have as *solid evidence* of a crime. It is *etremely* rare that anyone goes to court or even gets more than a slap on the wrist for illegally downloading anything. Why? The news never covers people getting busted (even if it is in large numbers,) for pyratng nowadays because as the companies have come to realize that advertising the fact that people have been prosecuted does absolutely *nothing* to detour other people from doing the same.
The people that these companies are interested in are the uploaders. Prosecution for this *is a real thing and uploaders *are* targets.
That being said, the people I've known who got popped for this *still didn't have to go through some arduous court dealings. Of the six people I know (*All Uploaders,* no downloading charges, though they did get caught downloading as well,) only one made a court appearance, which was basically just for a show of force, something to scare her into submission, and she, like the others, got slapped with a fine....which none of them paid. When the fines went unpaid, they then got sent to collections after anywhere between 6-24 months and of those people, four of them had their collections debt wiped due to the fact that collections agencies that the fines are sent to, which aren't dictated by the companies, as it is the courts issue at that point, went out of business or gave up. And yes, that is a real thing. I have one debt wiped due to a company going under and another wiped because they after a certain amount of time, they just chalk it up to a loss (which isn't really a loss because they can write it off....anyway, that's another story.
Sorry for the novelette, but the long and short of it is, yes, use any means possible to stay in the proverbial shadows, but, if for some reason shit goes south and you find yourself being pestered, remember that it is never as dire as they make it seem. They are not going to waste their time and money pursuing a lawsuit against someone whose net worth is laughable (you can't get blood from a stone, and all that,) just for downloading the new Lil' Whoever album.
Read up on the above mentioned tactics and be smart. Selah.

If you used Linux it would be a simple conf edit.

 

Use IPVanish or NORD VPN. The most important part of the VPN software is to make sure that it has a "killswitch" option. IPVanish definitely does, and I think NORD deos as well.

 

True but like i said.. I have FTP with full axx to many Top sites ,no need to break what is not broken
