The following is the description of a software application for download.....
Network Packet Analyzer CAPSA is an advanced network traffic monitoring, analysis and reporting tool, based on Windows operating systems. It captures and analyzes all traffic transport over both Ethernet and WLAN networks and decodes all major TCP/IP and application protocols. Its advanced application analysis modules allows you to view and log key communication applications such as emails, http traffic, instant messages and DNS querries. The powerful filtering module allows you to focus on the information that you are looking for. The comprehensive reports and graphic views enable you to understand network performance and bandwidth usage quickly, to check network health and identify problems in a few simple steps.
It's amazing how easy it is to obtain these types of applications...
The man who in view of gain thinks of righteousness; who in the view of danger is prepared to give up his life; and who does not forget an old agreement however far back it extends - such a man may be reckoned a complete man.

Can you download stuff through a Proxy Server? and if you could, would that make it harder to track?

I would like to think yes, you can download through a Proxy Server (I have been able to download stuff here in the office...and it's through the server), as well as it is definitely easier to track what you are downloading, when you downloaded it, how much bandwidth you used...

Your ISP keeps a list of everything that your IP address downloads.

so no matter how you download it your ISP will keep a record of it. i guess that makes sense. the proxy would only allow you to get to the item you want to download and not really mask anything.

Dammit, then i ll have to stop downloading stuff then. Nevermind on topic at hand then, would that mean they would have the details of the hackers as well as they would have been some ISP obviously to hack into other systems.

ALso another question about the monitoring of bandwidth...would ISP also know as to when you are watching videos on Youtube or sommin wouldnt that be taking up the bandwidth and classed as dowloads as well, cos obviously the file has to be downloaded to the temp folder for it to be played.

You see that was what i was thinking but i found out once i was watching this video i just went into the temp folder and the file was there and i saved that file for later use which made me ask the question, even if we are watchin online it still gets downloaded on the temp folder temporarily. which could be saved for later use, obviously there are different sort of decompressing tools which will be needed to play that file now a days as most videos are compressed by websites.

That's why whenever you are looking at videos online it has to buffer before playing....the buffering is the download to the temporary folder...

so that is why i was asking it is still a kind of downloading process, so how are they to determine whether the download was legal or illegal, even though the person in question didnt even actually "Download" the file.
