mr1aaa Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Help:I'm a newbie (about a month or so) using Utorent.Yesterday, I received above message including: "Notice of Action under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act," and abuse notification number and a warning.The movie in question was The Sting.First of all, while not a geek, I'm not exactly a neophyte either, having used other download engines for 5 years or so and have never had this experience.My curiosity is focused on just how whoever filed this complaint could possibly have access to this information (my download this particular vid) unless they were either hacking into my computer or utorrent??I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions and/or advice as while since I've begun downloading us utorrent, the bastards at Comcast have seen fit to REALLY slow me down, they are at the moment (unfortunately) the only game in town available for me and don't want to have them shit can me until I can find a suitable substitute if and when I move this Summer. Thanks all.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Letters aren't uncommon. There's a lot of groups out there policing torrents (and other protocols).There's nothing you can do about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishkin Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 torrents are one of the least private ways to share files... anyone in the swarm can see that your in the swarm and take down your ip address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1aaa Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Mishkin:Thanks for the head's up. I've sought other advice and opinions and I believe I have come to a suitable resolution for this problem and hopefully, the steps (precautions) I've taken will preclude my experiencing such unpleasantness in the future.
