isohuntyou can setup transmission to automatically search for torrents in whatever folder you want and delete the torrent file, so as soon as it hit your machine your set.

kickasstorrents.com is my favorite public torrent site. what.cd is number one for music, but it takes some work to find an invite. fucking worth it though.

so i have a friend who got a default web page message (2 pages long) on his browser from his ISP to "stop downloading from illegal websites or else" message. any thoughts?
- get an ISP that doesn't invade your privacy, or use a service like https://torrentpriva…acescence

- Yes - too bad almost all major ISP's / providers invade privacy like a bitch these days. The big 3 especially (Comcast, WOW, ATT...)d_rek
- the TOR people very much do not want you to use it for bt traffic. it fucks the networkacescence
- comcast has been fine for me, i get blazing bt speedsacescence

whatsup,
Yeah, it's happened to me before.Your ISP is legally obligated to give you this warning when they are contacted by a third party representing the copyrighted material. It's basically for the ISP to cover their ass. They'll only terminate service if the third party chooses legal action, again in which case they're legally obligated to do so.
But what happened to your 'friend' is that they were probably downloading copyrighted material from a PUBLIC torrent. Public torrents are accessible by anyone and all ip addresses who are connected to them can be viewed by any other ip connected to that torrent. This is why it is INCREDIBLY important to find and use a private torrent tracking community (such as d e m o n o i d ) if you're going to download pirated wares. Private trackers enjoy much better protection since you typically have to be a member of the community to be able to access the torrent in the first place. Also, some private trackers will block ip sharing, which doesn't allow you or anyone else connected to torrent to see anyone elses ip's. That's not to say they're immune but you'd be much better off trying to get into a private tracker community.

I just learned about magnet links.
magnet links are super awesome
you don't need a tracker, so the torrent can't be banned or removed.
it'll survive as long as people are interested in it(seeding/leach)also, after the initial seeding nobody can tell who originally seeded it or who uploaded or who made it. so there are no trace routs. ..kick ass..

dewilde: I switched to Transmission about a year ago, I was having all kinds of problems with in on my MBP. When it crashed, and it did plenty, it wiped out everything that was in progress and had to start again.
Also: Don't run Transmission and Time Machine at the same time, you'll fuck things up. You can upload with TM going, but downloading will corrupt your harddrive and backup drive. Learned this the hard way.
- Doesn't happen to me. I use Transmission and TM all the time.fyoucher1
