Word to the wise: NEVER use any of those services without first going through an overseas anonymous proxy. The MPAA and RIAA fully intend to start going after users after they've ripped the servers to the ground.

What does that matter, they have already sued people who don't even own computers. Just wait, they'll sue all the the rest of us U.S. citizens (barring themselves) en masse in time.

It's a site that hosts .torrent files that you can download, and use to get files.

Yeah, overseas Proxy is the way to go. Just going in with your connection directly, they can see your IP on the tracker easily.

Is there a simple FAQ or walkthru on this? I've used Gnutella, but I gather this is completely different.
