Guilt upon accusation. And yes it does fail. They were thinking about making the ISP's keep tabs on you and your downloads then you get a instaban. But that was going to be a bit much so they tossed it in for the above.
Demonoid.com is the best, safest and generally most reliable torrent site. But you need an invitation to join up to get the torrents over a week old. If you want one pm me or something (I think there is a limit to how many any 1 user can give out).
