They conclude that as they were able to extract a portion of the file Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues [2013] HDRip XViD juggs[ETRG] from your connection that their exclusive distribution rights are being violated. They are asking that the file sharing stops immediately. Please note, we can trace the IP address to your account. The actual file could be shared from any computer behind your router, including ones that connect wirelessly. Should you want further information on the complaint, please reply to this email. I will admit, I do torrent some movies and TV shows, and the occasional game, yet I have never seen anything like this before. I do seed some torrents, but I never knew that it could lead to this. Has anybody else experienced anything like this? Should I be worried? Can I continue torrenting? thanks. If you are worried about torrenting, there are other alternative ways for movies and TV shows. You can either get a VPN/proxy as suggested or just stream movies via XBMC/Ice films etc. You could also download movies to your android device using showbox which has all the latest movies and TV shows. I usually just stream all my music and movies thru pandora/netflix/XBMC/showbox/Songza etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SISU Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 can you use a proxy with Hulu if not then use a VPN that has servers based in the states.When i tried to watch The Walking Dead with Hola on Hulu it said the episodes are available on the AMC website, and to watch on the AMC website you need to sign in with your wireless provider name and password. Canadians don't have American ISP's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surtur Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Canadians don't have American ISP's. when traveling abroad they sure do. ever use a WiFi connection in a different country ? ..or using a VPN/Proxy service ........just ask Netflix users in Canada how they get American Netflix.

Pouria Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 can you use a proxy with Hulu if not then use a VPN that has servers based in the states. I do use Hulu and I have access to it. What I meant was that the Walking Dead show just isn't available on Hulu. I would also rather download it then watch it on some stream that isn't Hulu.

Pouria Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 People can just use the Hola chrome extension and unblock sites like Hulu by changing regions from Canada to US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
