Letter from internet provider for pirating
August 5th, 2016
I thought that Bit Torrent used something to keep the user private?
If not is there anyway to download files privately?
I don’t know if they are going to act on this…
It looks like it is just a warning…
Anyone have information on this?
Thanks!
Scare Mongrel Tactics… I would not worry about it
PS: Dont use magnetic links use tor Use a VPN as Per:

dunno how its in ireland (im assuming by your banner) but usually the problem is not the down- but the uploading. downloading files are, unless you “hacked” into somewhere, in most cases in a gray area. it has to be proven that you could not possibly have downloaded a certain file without knowing it comes from an illegal source. same with streaming.
now for torrents: problem is that your not only downloading the files but at the same time youre uploading them or at least chunks which means you yourself become a provider in the eyes of the law which…well, bad. if there not acting on this warning count yourself lucky bc a lot of corporations and even more law firms are making a living of those “settlements” asking for completely unreasonable compensation.
my advice: unless you know how to cover your tracks or know a trustworthy source for torrents. stay clear of them
Change ISP’s, and ignore it.
When you use torrents then you MUST use OpenVPN with a good VPN provider to protect yourself.
Go the easy route and stick to http downloads – no more letters.
Thanks I usually use piratebay

Maybe use TPB’s own Firefox based web browser (TOR enabled) to get around the censorship?
if it came in an email ignore it, it’s a hoax
isp’s will formally write to your home address to warn you about any breach of terms of service, they will NOT do it by email (as that would be outside of THEIR terms and conditions)
happy new year,

No they do it. They did it to a friend of mine once. Comcast actually emailed him with all the info at the time of downloading. Warning him and crap.
@, I am guessing Wild Blue is an ISP? Ignore the letter/email. The best they can do is terminate your internet and you paid all the fees of the process/contract.
That’s why you don’t use public trackers…
Is there any way this could happen by downloading from file hosts? (rapidgator/uploaded)

Dont use torrents, especially pirate bay. Your ip and downloads are visible to the whole world.
Some forms on google said you can delete the trackers in the torrent?
