(I didnt include all of the seeds neither)

I have a STRONG feeling that Comcast is the owns that torent file. First its caps on uploads now its caps on your privacy...another great reason why FIOS needs to get around my area ASAP!!! I really want to kick someones ass right now...

Ive had this it was a commad and conquer game though

LOL, you were downloading that?

Comcast can go screw themselves.

Dont judge me!!!

Exshinobi: Really? Wait, dont you have FIOS now lol?

I have FiOS and Its great.

EDIT: The router Verizon gave us crapped out after a year, and I got a bran-new one today, After they told me they would not replace it on the phone. Maybe they like to surprise their customers. So technically that means I've had FiOS for over a year.

AWWW how horrble but I cant say i've shared the same beacause I have Time Warner.

Dont judge me!!!

Exshinobi: Really? Wait, dont you have FIOS now lol?

no i have IO which is rather good cept for the whole thing about the bit torrent mother was displeased

Consider me computer illiterate. I know that I have DSL (from Verizon) and I have recently started dabbling with limewire, but I don't know much more than that. Am I to assume that I can be booted off of verizon because of something I downloaded off of limewire? If so, how would I find out before that happened? Thanks for the info.

You wouldn't find out. It will just happen.

If you're not downloading 24/7, I wouldn't worry about it.

I guess I better watch my IP's ass then!

I have FiOS. It's alright.

Anyone who has FIOS or anything dealing with fiber optics or T1 networks...i hate you all. Know why? Cause FIOS doesnt service my area as of yet, and a T1 network is too damn expensive for just ONE person's comp.

Well that is a relief. Thanks everyone.
