From what I discerned, they have certain sites they flag for traffic, because I've downloaded tons of other shite from a private tracker and they didnt say anything about those.





Intellectual Property holders contract out companies that download torrents of movies, tv shows, etc. They record all of the IP addresses they connected with to download the torrent, then send copyright violation notices to the ISPs of the IP addresses. Private trackers are good at keeping these companies out. Suddenlink has no employees that seek out violators, they just respond to violation notices they get.

Me personally, I had strike 9 last week. One more and my account will be suspended for 6 months they said. I've used a VPN for 2 months, but I think the connection auto-terminated in the middle of the night after a movie had finished downloading, but was still sharing.

Are you on Cox?

I've received 2 strikes so far, but haven't since I started using IPTorrents.

Now that I have a Chromecast, I started setting up Plex and also just downloaded Popcorn Time on PC and Android. Looks like it has a built-in free VPN. Wonder how well it works.

Does anyone stream from IceFilms or BitTorrent either on private channels on Roku or through XBMC?

Are there any dangers there?
