/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

my friend got caught and it was by his internet provider.
they just threatened to shut off his service and report them to the g men.
if youre worried about getting caught, use soulseekqt, its basically untraceable and its easier to get obscure music

You are not 100% safe from using that too idiot.

>>55527718
Just get a VPN man

>>55528100
But say I've already downloaded stuff without it? Should I be concerned?

>>55528079
What? You think ISPs are taking what.cd interviews to infiltrate your IPs from torrents.
Pleb pls.

>>55527718
I download a few discographies a month with rutracker.
Has anybody had any problems with their internet provider with rutracker?

>>55528145
Most ISPs will send warnings first, if you haven't gotten anything yet you're likely in the clear
I got caught by my ISP two or three times before getting a VPN, they don't like having to report people but it's pretty obvious when someone is uploading / downloading an exorbitant amount of data. Just suck it up and spend 6 bucks a month on a VPN, the peace of mind alone is worth it

So if I'm at college how would they contact me specifically?

>>55528237
Nice meme comeback, sure took you long enough for that quality post.

>>55528175
not me

>>55528262
Your school would tell you to fucking stop or they'll revoke your Internet or some shit

Can my ISP read my 4chan posts pls respond

>>55528262
as far as I know, when you're using a communal wifi at a college, etc it becomes slightly more difficult to track who is doing the massive uploading/downloading, so they don't bother witchu

>>55528262
That's where I got caught. Basically the people in the IT department in your school are able to see the IP addresses of all the devices connected to their WiFi and have email addresses of each, so you'd get an email from them before they went through with any actual legal actions. If you use a VPN it doesn't hide you exactly, but it does give them a bullshit IP address they won't be able to connect to anyone without doing a lot of work, and if your VPN is legit and doesn't sell your info (make sure you get a decent VPN) then you're in no danger at all of that happening.

I torrented a lot of music and never got caught for that. What I did get caught for was movies and HBO shows. If you're just doing music and you're not downloading a crazy amount, you're probably fine without a VPN unless you're getting super high-profile releases right when they become available on torrenting sites.

Basically, you should just educate yourself a bit on torrenting. Know what trackers are, how to protect yourself better, and how ISP's work and legal actions they might take. Most ISPs won't ever actually pursue any legal action unless you keep blatantly torrenting after they ask you to stop. You don't really have to worry if you're careful and aware of what you're doing.

Some colleges (mine does at least) require you to login into their WiFi with your personal account. Not sure if that'd give you your own personal IP address but I'm assuming they could track you through this. mine offers a public WiFi access point so I'm assuming thatd be easier to avoid getting caught with

Thanks for all the answers guys, I feel much better now.

>>55528413
yeah mine has a personal web log-in, but i see people torrenting 5 movies at a time in lectures and shit, and they haven't been castrated by the dean yet, so

>>55528360
They most definitely can track you pretty easily if you're using college WiFi. Your IP isn't connected to your wireless, it's connected to your device itself. Public WiFi can be better, but if the same people who are managing the private student WiFi manage the public one they can pretty easily cross check your IP still

>>55528357
technically everything you do online is recorded. I've read that if somebody were to do a backround check on a person that they could even go through their entire online history.
So if your even wondering why you didnt get hired just remember all those words like "nigger" and "4chan" in your online history

>>55528505
Damn thats cool. My college blocks torrenting and I'm too afraid to try to find a work around

>>55528531
Okay that's what I figured so I guess it's not different than doing it on your own WiFi at home. just don't be stupid about it and you should be good

>going to lecture
>prof had bittorrent with suicide girls open
Nice

>>55528704
I hope you reported him to the authorities

>>55528723
Nah, I had a talk with him because of my paper, he improved my grade, when I said stuff like he probably likes scene girls and nobody should know it
