what are the chances of me getting thrown out by my ISP if i torrent? ive been thinking about it for a while, and my dad had a go at me for using my comp too much, and he's convinced im doing something dodgy.
but im just wondering: assuming my ISP
did take action, would i get a kind letter kindly telling me im a cock for wasting their time and resources, and this is a warming before they chuck me, or will they just disconnect me without warning?
im on talktalk (UK) and i dont
think theyre on that "3 strikes and youre out" scheme. i dont download that much i dont think, (using my download meter) since 1st of june ive downloaded 9161MB(8.496GB) but that includes browsing, wlm, IRC, updates on programs etc, so its not all torrents, and im the only person on this computer.
i really dont want suggestions or opinions on moving to another ISP company, or anyone telling me "this" or "that" is better, and i should join because im not paying for it and dont have a choice on what were using.
i would imagine theyd look out for people using certain ports or sites a lot that are associated with illegal downloads, along with the fact that they seem to be downloading at 4am as well as 4pm but i dont really know much about it. still it would be nice to know what im getting myself into, doing illegal things and all =p
also, im not promoting illegal downloads im just asking what are the entailments and dangers ISP-wise of it. i guess its not just for my benefit
