RE: torrents and stuff. bad title but meh.
I got no trouble from talktalk (at least regarding download content) whilst at my parents house.
Just encrypt your traffic, it should make it a little bit less detectable, nothing will ever make you invisible to them, and yes you should get a letter, or phonecall before any serious action as a warning, worst comes to worse they cannot prove it's you, using your net.
Depends what you download too, American pop and rock is obviously the most targeted (RIAA etc) But not heard of many/any problems from metal,dance or jazz scenes. Big blockbuster Movies are sometimes targets too but then again, not always, depends on distributor/studio. Dunno if the 1 legal backup is still plausible, apart from OINK there's not been too much troubles in UK with torrents and such 'cyber crime'
In short you should be safe, just don't over do it/your download limits.
I always think it'd be wise to have one of those huge space wireless networked hard drives for stuff anyway, as it'd be easier to 'not have one of them' if the police ever did come knocking, can keep it in some really obscure place/disguise it.
