There was an ealier comment about lower end IP's. What would you consider lowend, and which IP would allow downloading BT's at a faster rate? I definately have a problem with either my router or my IP. BT's are coming in at a snails pace. comments?

Low end internet packages, the cheapy ones (500-1000 per month), often suffer from blocked BT ports by the providers.

I downloaded Troy with Brad Pitt last week. It was full of Trojans but none seemed to affect my PC.

I think all the torrents in Utorrent are recognised as trojans although not picked up by the active virus scanner. When I first did a scan, Utorrent was identified as having a trojan. I deleted it and found all my torrents in Utorrent had been deleted and all the settings were back to default. I've tested since and found that any torrent is picked up as a trojan. So I ignore them in this application only.

Incidentally, I have maxnet and I'm getting download speeds of 200+ kb/s in torrent downloads. It does of course depend on how well seeded the download is.

Same thing happened to me when I downloaded 28 Days Later. It gave my pc a nasty virus.

I have just bought a new Dell laptop

(it hopefully will arrive next week) the last thing I want to do is hurt it with lots of nasty nano probes...

I am beginning to wonder if all this torrent malarky is worth the effort.

I suspect it is though. I will just have to invest in some big arsed firewall protection. (not that nasty norton though)...

No need for any investments Randy.
Read and download your free Comodo firewall here.

Guess, how good is this PeerGuardian? (already downloaded)

I'm in the UK at the min and 2 friends of mine have had letters about Torrent fines. £500+

I want to download a few films but thats made me paranoid.

Your friend with the 500 quid letters have wifi in the house and likely their neighbours kids were downloading stuff from torrents not them as they are not at all computer savy so the senders of the letters can go fcuk their mothers.

I think he's suggesting that if you received a letter saying that you have made illegal downloads you could blame it on somebody else using your WIFI connection.
