I am surprised to see this coming from you, whatever gave you this idea, eh?

> What would it matter if they did track your ip?
Many bad things.

Well.. that depends what you download. You can download software that are torrents, and that is not illegal so long as you don't infringe copyright laws.

I wish them good luck finding my ip, as I always use peer guardian, my TOR proxy, an ip annonymizer, etc. There is no way that they will be sending any cops this way

Don't take them for suckers would be my advice - they have their own ways. ;-)

Well, I don't know of any legal way that they could tack me.. and of course, they always go for the idiots who don't use proxies/annonymizers first

TorrentSpy will be missed; it filled the niche that suprnova left; another site will spring up very soon no doubt.
