My son is using to Bit Torrent

[Msmith]

He was downloading some TV shows. Our ISP sent 34 emails within one hour to warn about the illegal download. I showed the messages to him. He said that it was his first time so he would stop. But what of the consequence? Should I contact our ISP about this?

look back at your interaction with me, you god damn reerun

you were the one who ran off at the mouth 1st with 'horribe advice' just because you wanted to talk some other moron into getting a vpn because you did.

then u tell someone to buy a vpn for their child for illegal downloading LOL

**** off

I reacted to you the same as you did to me, prior to you being a complete douche there was no 'diatribe', if you dont like it maybe you shouldnt run your mouth

Yes it was.

I watched the entire series before I realized that the star was the same actor who played Mad Eye Moody in the Harry Potter movies.

Deal killer for me.

if 250 GB per month of tranny / midget porn isnt enough, perhaps you have a problem?

thats about 7 or 8 full length movies a day for the month..

There is some content that's not available to me unless I download it. For example, the newest Stephen King mini-series, Mr Mercedes, is only available if you have AT&T U-Verse or Direct TV. I'm not really interested in changing cable providers just to watch one show, so I download it. I'm also not interested in paying a monthly fee to CBS just to watch Star Trek Discovery, so I download it.

I suspect AT&T and CBS would see it differently, so I use a VPN.

Totally understand I was just trolling no need to explain brother

I download more than just movies, and every movie/show I download is full 1080p. Plus PC games are coming in now at 50gb+ per game. I could go through 250gb in a couple weeks. Not saying its a bad thing, but for me it wouldn't be feasible. I'll stick to usenet and public torrent trackers/VPN.

I for one dont stream any movies or shows, I like to keep shows and movies on my plethora of TB hard drives.

It's different because of how the process works. With torrents, it's very easy to match IP addresses with the content being actively uploaded. Both the IP and the content are easily identifiable to anybody who wishes to monitor it. With https downloads, the format that furk serves, that's not possible. It's simply viewed as normal http content transfer which isn't distinguishable from loading normal website data, and when done securely, your ISP or any DMCA watchdog entities aren't going to be able to see your IP or what you're downloading. The most they see is general https data transfer, which they can't do anything with. I've been a member of Furk for a decade, and turned many friends onto it, and that kind of thing just doesn't happen. It's the entire reason why Furk is so popular.

I also do not see how to search for a tv show or movie. I do see where I can input a URL info-hash, or magnet link

No, don't use a download manager. That's totally unnecessary and most are really shady.

You said it could search, how does that work without finding the url or magnet id first?
