I've never had an issue, this is the first notice I've ever received. I've been on the internet since '96/7 and this is the first, so I guess not bad. Guess I'm down to two strikes now? I understand the paying thing. A friend and I split the cost. What I like is it uses SSL. I really don't like how you can see the entire swarm using BT. I'm sure there has to be a way to make that disappear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

Nothing, I don't think anyway. We are supposed to get 3 strikes. Now I suppose the copyright holder could sue me, but it's hard to sue someone who doesn't have shit... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

I wish it would have been for the Sopranos. I'm sitting here ripping 6 seasons and one of my DVD's won't read an episode so I torrented it. I'd send them a wordy email! But no, it has to be a show that I can't prove I have rights to. The pricks. Anyway, looks like a one time warning doesn't /usually/ end up in court or with fines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

I've never had anything like that, but I tend to stick to a lot of private trackers, enforce encryption and use Peer Block (not sure if it does much good, but might as well!). My sister did once get picked up by the infamous ACS Law over a torrent she downloaded. She was especially miffed as they complained over one of the music files in the torrent that she wasn't even bothered about (it was a compilation). Thankfully, the complaint was sent to my dad, who played the ignorant card that he was in his 60s and he'd never download modern pop music, and it strung out for several months of letters until ACS Law went bust and not a penny was paid in the end. But personally, not had any letters yet........ Oh, and I second the ButTorrent thing :D ---

Nope, never had anything like that. I go through phases of torrenting - at the moment I'm torrenting /lots/ (mainly to avoid studying), other times I don't download stuff for months. I do force encryption, but don't use peer block. And get all my torrents from the big bad bay in the sky (which, laughably, my ISP believe they've blocked :'D ). I also try to avoid downloading brand new shit - games and DVDs/BRs I usually wait till month or two after the release date before evening thinking about downloading them, and I never ever ever bother with cams & screeners. ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

But does encryption work? You can still see every peer who is connected to the swarm. And apparently that's all they need. That's why I use NG. A one on one connection with a secure pipe in between. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

I've no idea either. What it does potentially do is weaken any possible evidence. And if you stand up to a bullying letter, the company ultimately has to eventually make a decision as to whether they have sufficient evidence to push it through the courts. So, anything I can do to weaken this is a good thing IMO. ---

I think the encryption thing is more to hide what you're doing from your ISP, so they can't throttle the traffic as easily.

Both good points. And I don't know how long they are going to pretend that an IP address works in court. It's been shown many times that an IP address isn't a reliable way to identify someone. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.

Woo hoo. Just got Transmission installed on my NAS. There is a package available from the web interface to install it. Nice and easy. Now I just click a magnet in Chrome, the Remote Transmission++ picks it up, click save, and all done. Much betterer. Me

It's not particularly configurable, I don't think I can access the full transmission settings from the web interface that comes with it. With Remote++ I can add a list of custom folders to download to, so click magnet, select location from a list that pops up, save, done! Nice. Me

Seems to be connecting OK, but when I right click magnet links there's no option to send to Deluge? I've restarted Chrome, but no dice.

EDIT: control + right click works, just the context menu entry that's missing.

A send to Deluge option appears for me on a regular right click of a magnet link. Could be another setting somewhere. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Definitely enabled in the siphon options, but control click works for me. Just need to sort out the raspy wifi crapping out so often and refusing to reconnect unless you reboot or replug the dongle.

Yeah, wifi isn't very reliable. I have a cronjob running every few minutes to check if the wifi is working and then reboot if it isn't. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘
