    That's just a warning....don't worry....just stay low for while though or change ISP....

    Some ISPs like Comcast, will sell you to MPAA.....I got 2 of them notifications from Comcast a year ago....I dumped their ass right way.

    Quit using open torrent sites.. Go private sites and join when the doors open or newsgroups, possibly even go on IRC and beg for an invite. =)

    very strange....

    To anyone using any typ of file sharing software.....get familiar with Peer Guardian (now in version 2.0) Blocks ANY unauthorized idiots from sniffing whats on your hard drive. I've seen some STRANGE STRANGE folks try to query my computer. Shanghai University (China) and some police dept in Nova Scotia!
    I have Time Warner Cable (Waner Bros) and they have never even sniffed in my direction. I use PG WHENEVER I am downloading with Kazaa Lite or Bittorrent. Better safe than sorry. RIAA and MPAA go to hell!!! hee hee hee hee

    Quit using 6881 as default ports.. there using that to check data going in, and also slowing down speeds.. go over 30000 and to 30060. have various open. I have downloaded over a 120 movies, some still out in theaters, 50 xbox titles, 6 different software that is heavily copywrited.. And never got a warning, other then YEARS ago using xolox in which i got introuble with MPAA with a cease and desist letter. I dont use peerguardian either. Few months ago i used newsgroups,but other then that close torrent sites.

    Umm maybe you should stop downloading ANYTHING that says Mac OS X Tiger. Seems to me this might be one being watched heavily.

    Also Peer Guardian is fine for the known addresses. There are many that PG doesn't detect because they haven't been identified yet.

    I hate to be the one to tell you this...but Loki torrents AND Elite Torrents were BOTH private sites! So I don't see how that made them any safer as they got shut down anyway.
