    I don’t care if you seed or not, but if you’re torrenting then you’re seeding a little bit while downloading. Quitting quickly doesn’t mask you completely. It might pay to look into your options more.

    There might be a way to shut off uploads entirely, though iirc torrents are designed to stop if you do that.

      It seems to work, I haven’t received an email in months. If I leave it to seed for a day I get an email.

      One day internet providers will block ports and IPs to kill torrents, it’s just a matter of time. Can’t have people downloading I Love Lucy episodes

        Its dependant on the torrent you download. If you choose the wrong one that’s being tracked, you will get your IP sent to Spectrum in a legal letter eventually.
