There are a few things I would recommend for your situation.
I strongly recommend that you get a VPN service such as PrivateVPN.This will not only keep your identity away from copyright trolls, but it will also add a layer of protection to connections coming from your computer, to such a point where even your ISP cannot see what you are doing online. Because of this, you can bypass the throttling mechanisms that your particular ISP puts into place. Most importantly, it will help you avoid getting notices from copyright trolls, which can become rather costly.
I was just passing through the forums, but this is something I've been wondering for a while now, so I figured I'd ask:
Ever since I created my account here, I was under the impression (at least from the rules) that I absolutely should not use a VPN to browse the website, as doing so would make it appear as though I'm sharing my account (due to VPNs recycling IP addresses), which would be grounds for an immediate ban. I still use a VPN for the actual torrenting side of things, though, and that's been perfectly fine for me. But sometimes I might still have a tab for this site open as I connect my VPN, which is enough to give me a mini heart attack as I frantically close the tab, in fear that my browser will send the site a request from the VPN's shared IP address.
So am I right about that? I'm not sure how strict the IP rule is, or if the moderation team has made some extra considerations for VPNs after I joined that I may not have heard of.
Yeah, I can see the confusion, especially if you're brand new to torrent community. The problem isn't the VPN (per say); the real issue are people using mechanisms to trip the ratio system, allowing them to download an infinite amount of files while having I high ratio. This is not the typical behavior of a VPN, so don't worry about it. On really old & unsofisticated tracking systems, we had to tell the owners when we had VPNs as they only were designed for one IP at a time. Now things have changed. So long as you're logged in before you download, you're IPs will be associated.
