PeerGuardian 2 – if you don’t already – download it and use it. Just a tip. [http://methlabs.org/projects/peerguardian-2-windows/](http://methlabs.org/projects/peerguardian-2-windows/) ---

i’m getting some questions so – Q: what does this program do? A: blocks all the known IPs of major anti-p2p agencies. ie mpaa, time warner, etc etc Q: what prompted you to share this info? A: a close friend of mine received a warning letter concerning his “illegal downloading”. they are watching. use it. stay safe. ---

Where do you guys usually d/l from? Cant verizon see everything that I d/l? I just dont want to get pinched [font=Arial][size=2][font=Verdana][size=2]you should be straight man, pg2 (depending on what lists you choose) blocks about 800,000,000 ip addresses. besides, you’ll get one warning so you should know right away if they are onto you. 😉 goto [www.torrentspy.com](http://www.torrentspy.com/) for dls. you’ll want to do a google search for “azuerus” as well. best torrent dling software to date. i recommend disabling virus scanning on compressed files (and ONLY compressed files) in your dl directory though. if you don’t once you get to the end of each piece of a file you computer will damn near lockup. it’s not a problem caused by azureus, it’s just that when the temp files are copied over, your active virus scanning tries to check out the finished file… if that file happens to be huge, like say 4 gigs… well you get the idea. even if you are dling smaller files or smaller pieces, since multiple files are finishing – the cache of files to scan gets bigger and bigger and bigger slowing your pc down more and more and more. you get the idea. just do as i say.

just use the default p2p list for now. you can select them by clicking “list manager” on the main window.
