Hello all,

I'm a huge amateur when it comes to this stuff (I had a guy hold my hand on the phone and walk me through this) but I use Newsgroupdirect and buy blocks when they go on sale.

Is there a better group to do this from (or cheaper). I'm happy here but I saw an article that had some different places listed and it got me thinking.

Which group do you use?

You're a fucking moron my man. It's a site for checking if your IP can be seen by the public for torrenting. If you don't torrent, or if you're properly setup through your VPN, nothing shows up. If you are leaking torrenting data to the public, this guy catalogs it and if it sees any of that public data it'll show you what you've been torrenting -- this same data is available to hollywood and they use it to issue C&Ds, warnings through your ISP, etc.
