So I just got a copyright complaint from my ISP claiming I was torrenting today. My VPN says I've been covered for the last 34 hours straight. Also, I didn't even use BitTorrent today.
But when I went to delete some TV episodes I'd watched it said 'cannot delete because this file is currently active in BitTorrent'.
So I can't trust BitTorrent to close when I close it? And I can't trust my VPN either?
The last time I got one of these warnings prompted me to get the VPN so this wouldn't happen again.
My wi-fi stopped working but my ethernet was fine. I called them up and they made me listen to a reading of the email threat and then turned my wi-fi back on. Said repeated violations may lose me my internet access. Yeah right. I pay like $400 a month for the premium cable bundle (which is why I don't sub to every fucking streaming service and I pirate from time to time).
So does this make sense to anyone? VPN was never down and I didn't torrent anything and then I get another slap on the wrist, sit in the corner warning. Do I need to activate that killswitch thing? Because VPNs can kind of make the internet a bitch now and then. They want me to sign in to use youtube. I actually have to turn my VPN off just to post this message. And then the changing of IPs fucks with my use of other sites.
But what use is a VPN if my ISP still finds out I'm torrenting? And why is bittorrent connecting on its own when it's set not to?
Any opinions appreciated. And I already have Soulseek but it's hit or miss with a lot of stuff.
You should
- Turn on the damn VPN killswitch.
- Bind your torrent client to the VPN interface created.
- qBt has this feature where closing the window does not actually close the client, it just gets background'd. Maybe your torrent client is doing that too.
>>33125Hey, thanks. I'm going to unplug from the internet before even opening bittorrent again to mess with it.
