Just wanted to get a consensus of what you guys do to protect yourselves while using downloading using P2P networks or bittorrent clients?

Currently I am using Utorrent IP filter, Peer guardian 2 and Outpost Firewall Pro which I have noticed stops a lot of connections from known MPAA and RIAA sites.

Is there anything else I can do to protect myself. I have been reading lately that Utorrent has a built in back door even in versions before the 1.7. IS this true?

Are other bittorrent clients safer or is Utorrent still considered the overall fastest and best client out there?

The setup you have is about the best there is.

Utorrent IP filter and Peer guardian 2 both use the same IP list! No need to run both...
