At least only then your ISP knows what you're downloading. If you're worried about it use a VPN service, there are other ways to hide your IP address too, but P2P downloads are mainstream in Australia and no one is getting busted at the moment. Until people start getting sued don't stress.

Because they're probably the same dummies who download pirated software and complain that their a/v program warns them the crack file is infected with a virus. D/loaders who don't use progs like Peer Blocker and/or Peer Guardian deserve everything that's coming to them!! The sooner their internet is disconnected and they're out of the system, the better!! -- idgat Compuglobalhypermeganet Inc.

Contrast that to P2P where the whole world can potentially see that your ISP is involved in the sharing of certain files. |
