Use utorrnet then use mininova.org, however use proxies so that you can't be tracked well you could, but its about 100 times harder.

Also there are some torrent companines out there that you can pay $5.00 one time fee and it guarantees they don't log ips/ mac addresses and take none of your information. They also guarantee no viruses. They also have 100+ seeds for each download which will makeit a lot faster.


Hope this helps some.

I like how you make up numbers. Proxies provide marginal protection. Neither does the downloading of the actual .torrent get you in trouble since it contains no copyrighted content.

Your best best is either newsgroups, a private tracker, or using some google search tricks to identify direct downloads to music.

I wasn't really making up numbers lol i am just giving an example of how something works.

It doesn't matter what you do, if you are downloading a song, movie, or program. Also you should read the tos of torrents when you download them. It specifically says that you must judge if you think its a copyrighted item or not. There are more and more people getting caught and some arrested for even downloading music.

When you say this .torrent get you in trouble since it contains no copyrighted content.

This can't be right, because .torrents are being uploading by users and the company allowing the torrent to be there have no clue if its a copyrighted item or not. Maybe I read wrong what you meant, but even lime wire has had there shares of court dates.

I would agree with this also, however the title says illegally downloading music that is why I said what I said :P

Take care

Just replace the part in <> with what you're looking for.

You can download .torrents all day if you want, they're not illegal.

Now if you actually *open* those torrents using a BitTorrent program, then it becomes illegal. The torrent itself has no copyrighted data, it's basically a pointer to where you could obtain a specific set of files.

Paying a tracker to not keep logs is pointless. It's the peers that get you in trouble in the case of the P2P model.

How many years have you been surfing the net mobley370.

Here is what COULD happen in the 1/1,000,000 chance.
1) Your Internet Provider calls you, tells you to stop downloading 'illegal torrents' and gives you a warning.
2) If your using a public computer such as school or library to download illegal torrents then you can get in shit.

Thats about it.

I've downloaded..at least 30gb of music via torrents and never had to worry about proxies and shit.

Also, Proxies can be filtered so damn easy now adays, I just wrote a security protocol with a few people for a network to identify proxies and trust me its easy.

Where is it you can download a torrent without a torrent program to open them?? I have never seen one ever.

For instance go to mininova and try to dl one with not torrent program.
