I belong to a torrent site that has a ratio system ...IE: you give back what you share.
Last night there seemed to be a problem with NTL users in that there were other users all on the same I.P and I think it was mentioned soemthing about NTL using these "Transparent Proxies" I could be wrong though.
The problem is that we all have individual accounts but alot are using the same I.P (I have 16 People on mine for example) This means that people can download things which may get stuck onto my account even though I have nothing to do with it.
This is the first time it has happened so must have been somehting that happend friday evening sometime??
Some people have had 4-5 FULL DVD-R downloaded on their accounts and with a pathetic 30KB/s upload this is alot to "Share" back....especially when you haven't even downloaded the damn things!!
The site coders are desparatly trying to sort the problem and have a couple of quick fixes at the moment but I was just wondering why now and what the hell it is all about?
P.S sorry to go off topic but I saw it mentioned and thought I would ask.
Tnx in advance

These sites can easily discover the TRUE ip of the user that is visiting, but they are lazy and cant be bothered... you pirate stuff (sorry if I assume wrong) but you get your just desserts.
If they coded a decent proxy/true ip detector then it wouldnt matter... unless it was a anonymous proxy which NTLs arent...
