Powerslave Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yes, we know, it is monitored by SOMEONE, your ISP being #1 in line.I use BTGuard... It sucks sometimes, but you can't complain if it's free. Well, people do, which is really ignorant, it's FREE...I got a DMCA notice for downloading a TV show, that is on TOON for free. The file even has a station ID, and any other stupid little advertisements at the bottom of the screen too.... Oh, AND yeah sure, you can TiVo it, DVR it, HDDRV it, DVDR it; and get it on your PC from any one of those sources, but shame on me for downloading it? My cable box has a FireWire port, that I can use to record shows to the PC; but SHAME ON ME for downloading it? Who makes this crap up anyway?

mcaspi Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I noticed one of these companies. It uses Symtorrent version 0.1, makes a TCP connection, each time from a different ip, downloads something like 32 KB and then disconnects. In the peer list it's port is always 0.

Powerslave Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 IN any case, you have to be seeding in order to get a DMCA notice. AN incomplete file is just that, incomplete. While downloading, you do not actually have 100% of the content, thus they cannot arbitrarily send a DMCA to your ISP; until you are seeding a FULL COPY. A full copy is the illegal download, not the process of downloading... Once you have the full file, all they need to do is connect and get ~ or < 1K of the the file in order for them to flag your IP, then send the DMCA notice to your ISP.
