Hi I am new to useek and pretty new at torrents.
On the advice of someone more experienced I now use Peer Guardian with the P2P and edu lists. I installed it as soon as I knew about it, a post on another site said that while downloading the person received a warning from ISP about copyright. PG has encryption, use it.
It is worth looking at the blocked list from time to tme, as well as anti P2P there are some surprising people trying to see what you are doing.
Take the advice here on board it is spot on.
