I downloaded a camera copy of a movie, in which all of the humans spoke english, but the translations for what the aliens said was in russian, with english super-imposed. Soon after I downloaded it, I received my first notice from Comcast that I had downloaded copyrighted material, and they named the movie! I figure it must be one of the titles they choose to watch for unauthorized downloading. It was a lousy movie, about aliens living in a region designated by a number (8 plus 1).

Anyway, I had thought camera jobs were a bit safer; it appears I was mistaken. I used Vuze to dl it.

On second thought, never mind. I'm always glad to see your posts.

AFAIK they are the most dangerous ones to seek or second most dangerous ... that authorities keep an eye out for. Although partial file sharing is great for the network, I would not recommend it for such dangerous files. Unfortunately as a torrent, you really don't have a lot of choice. (Vuse does have some security settings ... however ... might not be that helpful if those watching are also downloading the file.)

Shoot, I better take more medication.

I try to avoid cam copies due to their usually bad audio and the ever-changing background lighting. This file was so large that I thought it was an actual Bluray copy. (My bad, I didn't bother to Bitzi it.)

I also try to wait awhile before dl'ing new stuff. That helps to avoid the CAMS and bogus files. But I was spoiled after I got one movie, (about spelunkering, and subterranean creatures who dine on co-eds), a full year before it was released in the US.

I guess I need to get out more often.
