Ok so my question is will using Protocol Encryption on any Bittorrent client (I'm using bittorrent 6.0) keep me secure from random companies seeing what I'm downloading legal or illegally?
or
Should I download Azureus and use it with the safepeer plugin or just download peer guardian 2 and continue using my current Bittorrent client?Which is better and why?

Protocol Encryption is only useful to bypass ISP's attempts at traffic shaping. It noes not stop anyone connecting to your torrents except if their client does not support encryption.

To stay safe from a legal persective, Peer Guardian 2 is a must but ultimately, stay off P2P and BitTorrent and use Usenet instead.
