Wow!.........That last part really scared me. I never knew that the
ISP would care if I uploaded books. They use to suspend my account for
downloading and uploading movies on torrent. Till one day I found out
how to not let them see my activities at all. By disconnecting my
modem and router and doing the torrent totally through public WIFI
(though still through my ISP account)..............But before I
reconnect I made sure to remove the particular torrents that would put
me into trouble.............If I want to do a lot of sharing and
seeding, I sometimes have one computer connected soley to public wifi
doing that................while I might be playing games on another
computer connected directly to the modem and router.................I
keep wondering when they might get around to tracking torrents through
public WIFI.............But I had thought that on the usenet server
anything goes.............I've never gotten any kind of warning from
them concerning the unenet downloads............Thanks for the headsup
and for everything else.
