    Not true. Proxying your connection could tarpit efforts to track you down.

    private trackers are safer?

    Potentially.

    theres an anonymous p2p network, not too unlike Tor but it seems to have died down recently. not a bad idea especially if you get enough people using it and enough legit content on it as well. i run a tor node off my server but i don't have too much bandwidth. i started it when the **** was going down in Burma but now looks like people are going to be using it in Ireland too

    The very fact that you are using torrents means that you are uploading..... [99.99999% of the time]

    Eh, no. Not if you set up your application to 100% leech.

    that's the spirit ArseBurger. :rolleyes:

    theres too many different ways of downloading pirated music (and everything else) for this to do anything other than catch a few people who don't know what they're doing.

    any downloader worth their salt with either not be on Eircom in the first place, move or at the very least find one of the many methods of downloading that is untraceable to their ISP.

    remember, this isn't even Eircom tracking what you are downloading, this is a 3rd party telling eircom you are downloading stuff so all you would need to do is use a method not being monitored (or not able to be monitored) by this 3rd party and you're grand.

    at this stage in the game they're just a little Dutch boy with a finger in a dyke (careful now:)).

    I guess you didn't see the "99.99999% of the time" in my quote?

    Downloading copyrighted material is illegal.

    Boards.ie won't tolerate the encouragement of such activities, in the form of admittance of such or description of how to facilitate such.

    I will be deleting posts and locking this thread. A relevant discussion is also active in the broadband forum.
