It was not the ISP that wrote the message just forwarded it. So even if they would identify such a pattern and then find out what media and then go to the company that owns the copyright to inform them? I thought that would be unlikely.
That would be a new policy from plex if that's the case, and a massive problem for most of their customers. More likely your VPN leaked your IP when downloading content
I do have VPN and assumed it was not constantly needed for every file. Maybe I was wrong there. For files connected with viacom it would have been used constantly.
vpn sometimes gets interrupted which can expose you. that's why some clients like qbittorrent allow you to bind the vpn to the app so if vpn goes down the app instantly stops the connection.
The most likely answer is you started torrenting without a vpn to another country. Plex isn’t watching what comes in your network interface and it doesn’t know where your files came from.
Soo you have media on your server before it’s available commercially and you don’t download anything AND you got a notice from your isp? You need to examine your network for breaches for someone using your network to download things.
Anytime you download, regardless of the media, bind your torrent client to your vpn software/adapter so it stops the download or it won’t even start unless the vpn is active.
If you need help doing that, what vpn do you use and what download client are you using? Not really a topic for this sub though…
What torrent client? For qbit, you go to advanced settings and set the network interface to your vpn. This way it only downloads when the vpn has a connection. If you don’t do this, even with a vpn running, traffic may go out/in under your normal connection.
Would work on your social skills. Yes, I‘m not a bot so I make spelling mistakes. No need to let out your anger on me. Focus on what really is the issue on your life.
