dlewis23 Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 use a different port like 20000 for bittorrent that wont make a difference. just encrypt your bit torrent traffic, or use a VPN to secure all your traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug7272 Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Ok my friend has this ISP and he got an email saying He wants to know is there anything he go do so they don't find out he's using torrents My father got a letter from them LONG ago that even knew the name of the movies he was Downloading... I told everyone here but few believed me, I don't know why, I guess I am not trustworthy. Anyway yea there are two things he can do. Number one, use JAP. http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html Then use either Azures or BitComet. Turn on file encryption, it will encrypt the file before you send it or receive it if you do it right. Azures. 1. Go to: Tools > Options > Connection > Transport Encryption 2. Check the require encrypted transport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted January 2, 2007 CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 they see that they are distributing or downloading copyrighted software or movies and that is illegal and Dlewis is right about the encryption part so try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeePs Posted January 2, 2007 CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 Do you guys think it would be a lot harder for an ISP to find out your downloading illegal content if all the content is contained in many different archives that you have to unpack into the larger file? My friend downloaded a lot of movies over the summer and uploaded just as much and his ISP either didn't notice or they didn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend downloaded a lot of movies over the summer and uploaded just as much and his ISP either didn't notice or they didn't care. That's probablly why. Most sites use www.rapidshare.com or www.rapidshare.de to share cracked files. Those sites have a 100mb file limit, so they archive them with WinRAR.

Just a FYI...your ISP (Cox) does not detect you are uploading or downloading copyrighted content. They are merely following up on a complaint filed by the copywrite owner of the material or a legal rep of the copywrite owner. It doesn't matter what the incoming or outgoing port is and Cox is not interested in monitoring that traffic. If the owner of the material complains your ISP is obligated by law to take steps per Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushonbye Posted August 31, 2007 CID Share Posted August 31, 2007 lol im not going to argue. Thats probably best. If you had read the original post that started this thread it is the complaint filed by the copywrite holder. Unfortunately the person who posted it did not post it in its entirety.

Um, no they don't, you were just dumb enough to get caught. As for them detecting what ports are used and whatnot.... sorry you are wrong. The only ports they care about are ones that are blocked for business level access or ports that are blocked for security reasons. To try and monitor all traffic on all ports would be a huge waste of time and resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
