I am sure you guys all saw the lady that got busted for 1.9million for downloading 24songs from kaaza. Limewire also shutdown a few days ago.
1.) Only use private torrent sites if you are using torrents.
2.) I am pretty sure direct links like megaupload are safe? Not sure why.
Anyone want to explain the safest methods. I am sure a ton of people are using megaupload, but I thought that was safe.

it is but there are tons of people leeching off it and causing it to run super slow sometimes. mostly cause of so many people not having premium accounts and using dload managers to get files
If you send me questions on Live about modding or anything related i will block you. Dont be an idiot.

True but there are a lot of other hosting sites popping up everyday so I'm sure people can find others means of getting stuff.

i wouldn't be surprised if megaupload caved under government pressure with their downloads. Plus I cant fucking stand the queue system. Takes an eternity to download something even with proxies bypassing the queue
Any torrent site can be secure if you use a seedbox and/or proxy. Personally I use private trackers to download to my home computer though and have only received 1 letter from my ISP from torrentleech. Since using peer guardian it hasn't happened.
Revolutiontt, sceneaccess, tvtorrents, bitmetv, what.cd and blackcats games have never caused me to get a letter

Yeah I got the letter as well, but I think it was because I didn't realize one of my torrents was seeding demoniod. I just can't believe our awesome government would even care about 24 freaking songs and then sue for 1.9 million, but then we let child sickos on the screen for a few hundred. Messed up world if you ask me. I'm on Rev TT. Best torrent site out there if you ask me. I use megaupload a lot mostly when I want to save my ratio. I have a premium account that I use though. Some people say megaupload is safe and others say it's not. What would make it unsafe? My problem is the amount of data that comes through to my network. It reaches over 100 gig and even 300 gig a month sometimes.

Rev is good, i really like the request system and how it gets older files up, especially movies. TL on the other hand has a larger user base so torrents stay up longer and often have more seeders/speed. Also because of all the users it's much easier to seed at
what makes megaupload unsafe imo is that it's a centralized location that the government can aggressively go after and if pressured hard enough, could potentially give up who downloaded what. At the torrent sites you're downloading from individuals, not the site itself

I've been tempted to but meh...most of the torrents sites max out my connection anyway and i'm not really concerned with the letters (had about 8 in 2 months before private trackers and nothing happened). Plus paying for it kinda defeats the purpose :)

No I didn't see the news about that lady. I'm pretty sure he will not be paying a dime because I wouldn't. I must admit I was surprised they Limewire to shutdown.
