They can see that you're d/l files but there is noting illegal about that. Now if you connect to one of their servers as a peer and they are hosting copyrighted material then they know what you're d/ling. That what Peer Block blocks. Connecting to fake seeds and preventing the copyright holders from connecting to you.
What does it do? PeerBlock monitors each connection your computer tries to make with another one - and each connection other computers try to make with you - and then compares the other computer's IP address against a list of "known bad" IP addresses to see whether it should let this connection go through or not. http://www.peerblock.com/userguide/intro/intro-whatdoesit
And "bad" means ones that are trying to track or trace your IP addy so it could be given to the copyright holder. Have you ever looked at the ones they are blocking as you are BTing? It's interesting. It's countries and businesses who rent out spare server space.
After downloading a torrent file... what do I use to convert it to a useable file? (video in my case).
OK... but I cant transfer the torrent file into an mp4 or wmv? A friend told me about that same VLC player a few months ago. This is what is on the end of the file name: [DVDRip].5465287.TPB
Did you d/l the link for a bit torrent from PiratesBay or the actual file to use. What are you using to d/l bit torrents, utorrent?
LOL! No problem BB. Go and install this program http://www.utorrent.com/ then go back to pirates bay and find the movie that you want to d/l again. Also make sure there are 100"s or 1000's of peeps who are seeds and peers ( that pretty much means the number of people who are sharing all or part of the movie you want for the movie you want.) It will make d/l'ing it a lot faster. Let me know if you have any other problems. Glad to help.
oh and make sure you d/l and install this program also - http://www.peerblock.com/ That's the program that prevents your ISP from knowing what you're d/l'ing.
