You don't have to sympathise with this person, but the main point of the article is the incompetence of the companies. They accuse someone of sharing who *cannot* have shared.

I wonder, is the lack of seeders on some torrents due to some kind of fear about getting caught uploading, or are people just too lazy/cheap to share?

I’ve never really seen the point of leeching clients, usually you can get better speeds by uploading, and it’s not like anyone really needs that upload for anything else.

ButTyrant does upload, but nly to certain peers. About the “client banned” thing, ever heard of shu mod?:)))

If you want a 0-upload bittorrent client, try BitThief. Hey, it even works on Linux, and with the correct options works great on most of the private trackers.

@33
A socket is a connection including a IP address, and a Port.
Knowing that most of Torrent clients fall between the TCP range of 6881-6999, and knowing that some one’s IP address is blah(192.168.1.1).
A simple computer program can spam torrent requests at such a high frequency that it would be impossible to ignore…

such program would take less then 10 minutes to make and turn on.

holy wikipedia batman
@30 a “CRC check” is used to make sure all the data is tangent, and accounted for in the ‘file’ that was sent. There is no check for ‘legitimacy’.

also @30, settle down… I think you are missing the point.
The giant point of this article is that there is no inbound packets that need to be sent in-order to get a court case. This means literally I could set up a stream of packets from any IP I want to be on the header, and
1) request transfer of the file
[This will return packets to the fake IP's computer, which will in all likeliness not be set up to accept a torrent from that file, and will fail upon getting there]
2) spam fake upload chunks, or requested downloads
[again this will inturn sent the requested material to the spoofed IP's computer, which will not be accepted.]

This will be knocking at the door of the RIAA, upload them their own stolen music back, with a name tag of your IP address (ultimately resolved to your name, and address from ISP)

The Internet. Where random alt-med nuts recommend that the terminally ill eat produce containing low levels of *cyanide*, and are possible to overdose on, with no peer-reviewed research into use, dosage and the like supporting it.
