DreadWingKnight Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 No, you're not any more or less likely to get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 When you set up a static IP, you're setting it up only for your private, internal LAN IP. It has nothing to do with your public, external WAN IP (which only your ISP can control). Setting up a static LAN IP won't make you any more or less susceptible to getting caught/identified.Edit: Heh, DWK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Don't use torrents to download files...they are designed to tell anyone and everyone connected to the tracker your ip address. You can BLOCK those "hostile" ips from connecting to you, BUT they still gather your ip from the tracker and other peers/seeds. C&D letters have been sent without the monitoring companies even bothering to connect to reported ips to see if they are really on those torrents.
