How To Be Protected When Downloading Torrents?
Everybody downloads something illegal in their life at least once. However, there are people that download illegal stuff intesively. I am not trying to blame anybody with this. In any case, if you are one of those people, you should take steps to protect your identity when downloading. Otherwise, you may be easily tracked and sued by the copyright owners.
Your first step should be to stop using public sharing programs like Kazaa or Limewire. Except that they keep records of downloading users IP addresses, they contain a bunch of junk and viruses too.
After that, start using the torrent file sharing system. It is more secure and fast. I am using it for years and it works like charm. However, there are steps that need to be taken here too, if you are thinking of downloading from very popular trackers (there is no problem from downloading from private and small trackers). Russ has collected some good tips on how to download torrents anonymously.
After reading this post, you should be able to download your favorite movie, game, software or music completely anonymously and without being afraid of being sued.
