Sarah1218 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I've always torrented a lot (just movies and TV shows), but for the first time I got a message from my ISP (Rogers, in Canada). They asked me to delete a movie I had downloaded the day before, so I did. Is there anything I can do other than simply enabling encryption in the options to avoid them seeing what I download and such? I googled for a bit, but couldn't really find anything concrete. Also, from a Vuse wiki page, apparently Rogers blocks encrypted traffic, so would enabling encryption in uTorrent even do anything (from the (very) quick testing I did, it seemed to still download at same speeds even with encryption enabled)?I was also wondering what would happen if they ask me to delete another movie I download. I've read about fines and getting blacklisted from the ISP (and maybe others). Also, why was it only that one movie and not others? I've downloaded maybe 15 movies this month.Any other advice would be great.Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The best solution is to use a VPN (offering OpenVPN of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 There are corporations that all they do is watch certain torrents for people downloading. and when they see someone they send a letter to their ISP, who forwards it to you.

joshualittle Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I use a program called peerblock, it seems to have worked well for me so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
