New attention has been given to a BitTorrent exploit that surfaced in November last year following the passing of the Digital Economy Bill in the UK. The widespread belief - or hope - appears to be that this 86 lines of C# can actually make BitTorrent downloading untraceable.
The code, named SeedFuc*er (though not censored), can be used by a BitTorrent user to fake the IP address of a ... [ read the full article ]

The problem with the 86 lines of code are, if it really worked you would not get your data would you? You could REALLY fool them by disconnecting your computer from the internet they surely will not be able to catch you downloading then!
Before any ISP allows any subscriber to connect to its internet gateway they will require some kind of authentication. It may be via fixed IP or username/password with dynamic IP.
So long as they are required to keep a track of data transfer activity on their network and and the IP associated with it they can always trace the culprit.
Only way to prevent this is to use proxy servers which can not be reached physically. But in this case too they may start blocking such servers, generally located in Russia and Ukraine.
