Well, it was a little after midnight where i lived, when i was chilling on the computer, surfing fpsb, and talking to a few people. All of the sudden, my steam goes offline, and i cant load new web pages.


In the situation, i just go and restart the router, and everything works fine. This was not the case, however. I restarted it about 4 times, and the internet did not work. So at this point, my parents see me from their bedroom walking back and forth through the hallway, while they are reading in bed.

They ask me what was going on, so i explained. The phone, internet, and TV cable were all out. This is because my ISP also provides my cable and phone service, they are basically the biggest communications company where i live.

At this point, i remember a story my friend down the street told me, who has the same ISP as me. He has torrented a shitload of different things, and he did it so much that he doesnt use more than half of the stuff he got.


He got his internet shut off due to torrenting, and he had to call the ISP to get it turned back on, and was warned to never do it again.


Also at this point, i remembered that i rarely use torrents, but i used one 2 days ago. Fuck.
I grabbed the phone and looked at the support number for the ISP on the TV. No goddamn dial tone.


This was when i knew i was fucked, but i kept trying anyway. I went into my brother's room, and he was there texting like usual. I asked if i could use his phone, and the battery was about to die and he was in the middle of important shit.


On my way to my room, i saw my mom on her cell phone, and i knew she was probably about to find out. I went in my room, fired up GTA san andreas and played, with my heart beating fucking fast. I was twitching like a crackhead in a crack mansion.


I played for about 14 minutes, thinking how my parents would take it. I decided i would be totally honest with everything once they confronted me with the issue.



my heart was beating hella fast, and i had to piss, so i opened my door, and almost ran into my mom walking down the hall.


She looked at me and said "A local station for the Internet people is having components replaced."

I felt relieved as fuck, and went through all of that for nothing.

Torrents are the way to go. Not everything you download is illegal. I've downloaded those free to play mmorpg games and mods for half-life 2 plus a ton of other stuff through torrents.

As for your friend, I'd find another ISP if they're just gonna shut it off for stuff like that.

We have the best ISP in our area, and the service is quite good, and such.


I personally find torrents a last resort. My computer is in the middle as far as how good it is, but torrents take so long, and make my computer so goddamn slow.

When you say that you used torrents, was it an illegal file or was it legal? If it was legal there was no reason to shut your Internet down (if that would've been the case).
On the Internet we usually communicate through text, thus if you write like an idiot you will most likely be seen as one.

Yeah It's true that it slows your internet down but that's because it's connecting to a ton of other peoples connections to download what you need, faster.
Programs like LimeWire, Ares and all those other programs are all the same. Your connection will be faster when you exit it.

As for your downloads being slow, your just not looking for the right torrents maybe.
(The more seeders the better.)
I downloaded Sword of the New World in 2 hours on the day of it's release.
(It's free don't worry.)

There are some torrent sites that allow you to download things inhumanly fast but it's one of those "Download the amount you upload" kind of things.
(example: you seed 100mb worth of data, now you can download 100mb worth of data.)
I don't know of any of those sites though.

Yeah that's another thing, If your working late or at an event where you can't watch a specific tv show, just download what you missed. I wouldn't consider it illegal if your downloading a show, which is on a station that you're already paying your hard earned cash for.

Using torrents and torrent programs (example: µtorrent) is not illegal.
but what torrents includes, its different thing.

i have used torrents looooooong time. (usually to download illegal stuff lol)
and i dont care. i have good ISP, what doesnt care shit.

download movie illegally in USA, you get mail from MPAA.
download music illegally in USA, you get mail from RIAA.

this post is pointless

I read somewhere that you can encrypt your network so that your ISP won't know anything about it. It was a while ago, so I might be leaving something out. But yeah...

Still, be careful :P

It's actually a tick-box enabled thing in uTorrent itself lol. Quite amusing :)

Seriously, if this had happened to me, I'd have probably ended up killing myself or something. I remember aggeeess ago when I was caught with some pr0nz on my PC and I just felt like throwing up there and then from the guilt and shame. :(

But luckily that didn't happen to you. :)
