    question on downloading.?

    is it risky to download torrents? like can they catch you? i use to use limewire and it was good i use it for about 4 years but then it got lamewire..lol... so i wanted to know if downloading torrent would be the same as having limewire or is it more risky?

    Yes

    I just got 3 letters from my ISP and HBO for downloading rome and two movies


    Edit:

    If you can get on a private site its pretty safe, try www.torrentbytes.net they are down ATM though

      Demonoid is, IMO, the best private site out there. Oink used to be pretty good as well (not sure about quality currently). I prefer torrenting to anything, with the possible exception of Ares. Such a shame Project W is down...

                  I've downloaded TONS of stuff and have never gotten ANYTHING.

                  I also have never come across something it blocked that I didn't want it to.
