IP address is no proof that you are sharing anything, you could have an open wifi network or someone could just break in to your network and upload from there. Just ignore your ISP. If you want a peace of mind, a) buy yourself a pay as to go mobile internet card (those USB modems), b) connect through TOR or some encrypted VPN service. Good luck.

I received an email from my ISP informing me that NBC Universal wasn’t happy about people uploading a certain movie from my computer. I would like to continue to share with other users but don’t want to pay a $150,000 fine. Any ideas on how to continue without exposing myself to retribution?

Marc,
Thanks for the info but I have a problem, I followed your instructions to the letter but upon startup I get this message:
Socks proxy 127.0.0.1:9050 check failed. Connect failed. Connection refused, no further information.
Any suggestions? Also, is the I2P network safe to use?

Darko:

Tools>Options>Connection:

Under “Networks” make sure ONLY the Onion Router (Tor) Network is checked.

Tools>Options>Connection>Proxy Options:

Check all these: 1) Enable proxying of tracker communications 2) I have a SOCKS proxy 3) Enable proxying of peer communications 4) Inform tracker of limitation 5) Use same proxy settings for tracker and peer 6) Check proxy status on startup.

Additional settings:

Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 9050
SOCKS Version 4A

Tools>Options>Tracker>Server:

Under “Networks” make sure ONLY the Onion Router (Tor) Network is checked.

Save your settings and restart Vuze.

If Vidalia is running, Vuze should now be routed through the Tor network. If you get a Vuze proxy check error, check that Vidalia is running. If it is, restart Vuze.

You can also go to Tools>Options>Tracker>Server and do an “Auto-discover external IP address” and compare that IP with your real IP. If they’re different, you’re good to go.

I am also using Vuze. I remember that tor was in the older version (Azureus). How do you set up Vuze to run through the tor network? I have Vidalia/tor for web surfing, but I dont know how to set up Vuze. Any light you could shed would be appreciated. Thanx for your time.

I am presently using http://www.vpnmessenger.com that will not only change your IP address it also provides a VPN messenger and VOIP service all within the software.
Highly recommended if your looking for this kind of service
