COPY THAT FLOPPY

You can find out if you've torrented something by simply Googling your IP and add the word "torrent" behind it, e.g.: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx torrent - safer than going to some website that is probably recording your IP in some lame money making attempt of selling the list to the media giants...

my ISP doesn't (acknowledge it, that is). it's always implicit. I reckon if you even called them and asked what was up they would skirt around the issue. the long arm of the MPAA/RIAA/whoever innit.

isn't there a competition between the isps on this ground or do all of them throttle it like that ?

Most countries/regions have terrible ISP markets. Maybe one of our DSL providers doesn't throttle protocols, but it will be so much slower overall than our only cable provider. They are throttling because they are overselling bandwidth they can not deliver during the busy hours. It's easier for them to justify throttling protocols that are being used for piracy a lot.

been with Virgin for quite some time, never experienced any throttling

LOL?

haha

I'd love virgin but I haven't got cable - hence throttling.

i've got BT Infinity...haven't noticed any issues thus far

I lived back at home in the summer during freshman year of college and as soon as I got to school my dad called me telling me the ISP froze their service and issued us a warning from HBO for torrenting a few episodes of entourage and if we were caught again our service would be terminated. Our internet services were turned off for about 3 days, but luckily I wasn't there to feel the pain. Pro-tip: don't torrent shows from subscription channels, they will find you.

I think Infinity's the cable one - I've got shitty Total Broadband.

infinity is Fibre to the Exchange, not cable. It's still ADSL over copper

Interesting. They totally insinuate it's fibre optic though: http://cdn3.pcadvisor.co.uk/cmsdata/features/3358332/BT-Infinity-connection-availability-checker.jpg

I know they do. doesn't matter how much they misadvertise, it's still fibre to the exchange, we're a LONG way from fibre to the home.

ive only ever been given a letter for downloading a porno for my Japanese friend who was going back to japan. He requested hairy and lots of genitalia Apparently they blur all genitalia in Japanese porn.

im with infinity. i get ultra beastin speeds because im about 500 metres from the exchange. seen films whizzing away at 3+meg on occasion.

we actually run 3 flats on a single connection its such good internet, all my neighbours are my pals

yeah, a country where schoolgirl bus rape pornos are ok, so long as the genitals are blurred out.

15 year old pubescent japanese boys must be absolutely horrified when they finally manage to get in a girls panties. where are all the pixels!?

flol

Rules are meant to be read.

Some porn starting someone called Zoey Nixon...

It wasn't my IP, but after further research, the person who did the download has fine taste. That woman is... something ;)

Clean as newborns ass...

btw, I never downloaded a single torrent. Back in the days, when I first came upon it, I totally didn´t know what to do and how to make it work. On other side, I have quite a big history downloading from SoulSeek, but those times are over since I do only legal stuff now.

just for the record, torrents aren't illegal.

How so?

Well, if I dub a cassette or burn a CD-R of a record for you, is that illegal?
