<p>I think if you run XP, you can run peer guardian so no seeders can ever be from RIAA or anything. Megaupload is always safe.</p>
<p>peer guardian = false protection… you’ll still get caught, trust me.</p>

<p>Oh really? Thanks for telling me, I almost fell for it.</p>

<p>Trust me, I’m pretty prominent at multiple public and private trackers. And there’s always people whining about their SOL stories of getting caught even with peer guardian the forums. I just usually tell them its as safe as having sex with a condom with a hole in it… as it is literally.</p>
<p>@neeeeema: while DC hubs are much safer than torrents, you still need to get new content from somewhere 
</p>
<p>@tonito: Peerguardian hasn’t been updated in over 3 years, if you want some protection then get PeerBlock which uses the same program with updated lists. Still no guarantees though.</p>
<p>Man, if you can just block that ONE fake seeder.</p>
<p>We COULD go to some off campus cafe to use their wireless and download stuff right lol…</p>
<p>Wootieburg is a ****ing genius!</p>
<p>A cafes a good idea but I wouldn’t download from a cafe personally… people will complain about someone downloading, some cafes have routers that prevent P2P, I even once had a owner flip out because someone was stealing all the bandwidth and he couldn’t get his stuff to load whatnot… and I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t download too fast with so many people doing the same lol</p>

Its often way more than 1 from each anti piracy group… to infiltrate the number of seeding pools… Net anonymity has its pros and cons.</p>
<p>Hmm… you could implement both the DC Hub and a seedbox w/ encryption if you had a large enough group. Everyone downloads new content in rotation so no one’s bandwidth levels appear to be super high, and then you share whatever you downloaded on the hub. I don’t think UCSD would mind as much about internal bandwidth usage(unless you’re sending 100 people every episode of Stargate or something).</p>

if people actually use it, and its active, new stuff wouldn’t be hard to get. the off campus people would come and share when they’re on campus, then once its on ONE computer on campus, it wouldn’t be a problem.
This is the same exact system going on in Berkeley and it’s gotten so big that no one goes out to get new stuff, everythings on there. It worked great there, but they had the whole campus using it. If SD did the same…</p>
