Solve : private torrenting?

Answer»

I am not SURE where to post this question because i could not find the section. i am curious on what to do for a friend that is trying to block his isp from finding out that he is downloading. he has recieved his 2nd notice regarding another game he has downloaded. he needs a different program then the one he is currently using. he has tried a more up to date version also.

the program he is using is [Name Removed] it masks his ip address by giving him a different one.

it advertises annonymous surfing but i believe someway his isp (or the company they use) are seeing through the fake ip address.

QUESTION 1: is it possible?

QUESTION 2: what should he do to ensure he does not get a letter and more importantly does not get his internet shut off?

now just for thought: i know another person that does download also and he has verizon. not once has he got a letter.

my friend who has recieved a letter 2 times has cox. now cox says they dont monitor but they have another company do it for them most likley.

please help thanks
Sorry, but we cannot help you with what you are doing.

Downloading games is illegal, and trying to prevent your ISP from seeing what you're doing is no doubt against your ISP's agreement.QUOTE from: bigbutt100 on May 04, 2009, 10:52:57 PM

QUESTION 2: what should he do to ensure he does not get a letter and more importantly does not get his internet shut off?

He should stop downloading games or doing what ever it is that the ISP is warning him about.hmm there really isn`t any way around it the government is cracking down on torrent users now,it`s happening all over the place . the way you can do it and get away with it is a secret but sooner or later they`ll track you down you ever watch enemy of the state

LOL WHENEVER you participate in a practice that is contrary to the established order, you risk becoming classed as a criminal, even if your intent was not criminal.

Some people will take such a risk to defend some principle.

Granted the Copyright law is not perfect. Yet many would not want to defend the right to defy it and get a free game. But make your own CHOICE. At least they cannot send you to Alcatraz, it has been shut down.

i can see a transparent proxy being a problem but an elite proxy shouldn't be. my ip address and example:
