I'd like to have one, then. I really don't get to see any real good Sports Car racing any more.
Dacks, yeah that looks like one of the scare letters I used to see. Find a good proxy, just to be safe... but I never saw any reaction more than that letter.
Also, beware which torrents you're downloading. I'd bet my last dollar that Showtime put that one out there themselves so they could get trackers reporting IPs. There's no way they could see the traffic otherwise. They had to have been monitoring the tracker, and all they got was a bunch of IPs and fired off letters to the ISP. If you remember where you got it, go back and comment on it that it's a plant torrent from the Studio.
Personally, if there's a choice, I'd kick Rogers aside. Pretty low on their part to even react. The cable company I worked for monitored the network traffic, but they owned it. They didn't send those because Studios pushed them, they did it because the traffic strained their infrastructure and they wanted people to stop using bandwidth. I know they were trying to figure out a way to threaten people away from Internet radio too.
Couldn't they just download the torrent and then check the IPs? My torrent software usually shows a list of IP's that I'm downloading from. If I joined a private tracker torrent site, would that make it safer?
I'm with Rogers because Ottawa pretty much only has Rogers or Bell. I've never tried the smaller ISPs, but I was with a big company (Cogeco) in Hamilton and they were okay. Also Rogers gave me six months free on a two year commitment for home phone, internet and TV, pretty good deal.
