Downloading torrents and privacy

[nem]

I'm partial to the downloading the odd film and tv series using the piratebay and Tixati as a torrent download client but becoming increasingly paranoid about being caught. A mate has recommended PeerBlock to help shut out snooping legal eagles. Just wondering what the more computer savvy would recommend?

It will cripple the speed of your connection.

This, but you could also use private torrent sites like demonoid, or even NZB/newsgroups (these generally come at a cost) but are faster, more secure and not reliant on seeds and leechers pm me if you need any more info.

Come into my office nem, it's that portaloo round the back.

Also to answer your question peerblock or peerguardian is crap to put it bluntly.

The companies that idle on torrents to catch users change ip's so often that no ip blocking software can possibly work. It is just useless.

I bang on and on about how they get you but some silly people do not learn.

Also if they got that much then fuck them, they were earning of it.
