I only know of one Torrent client that can do that kind of sophisticated fakery, and it's a heavily modified version of [a very popular client]. Also, torrenting at that level requires a pretty good knowledge of the "protocol" and networking and all sorts of stuff that your average arse-hole who really truly wants to watch garbage like "Killer Joe" probably isn't going to have. You'll note that Voltage, like the pron companies involved in torrent lawsuits, don't exactly produce, er, quality entertainment. I haven't heard of the Weinstein Company going after anyone, or HBO for that matter. > I suspect GardaLey itself fakes the percentage of the file that it has > in order to not show it has 100% (otherwise, it woudln't be able to > download from unsuspecting folks). They don't have to do that. There are lots of "seeds" out there. Lots of average arse-holes. I'm guessing that the software is identifying people (from Ontario) who are "seeding." You can't "seed" unless you have the whole file. If you don't have the whole file, you haven't downloaded a watchable movie, and have broken no laws. VPN. IP filters. Encryption. TOR (if you must). Mostly, VPN. And stop watching crappy movies. -- Fine then, I'm drinking coffee and rolling cigarettes and looking out at the hot baked street and a lady just walked by wiggling it in tight white pants, and we are not dead yet.
