[QUOTE="SecretsNeedToBeKept, post: 230264"] You are correct, as no one has been sued for downloading copyrighted information, only uploading it. However, the BitTorrent protocol will not allow you to download information without uploading some as well. There is no way to simply stop uploading in Azureus. What you can do is not seed anything you download. As long as you're not a member of any private tracker sites that monitor your share ratio, you'll still be able to download whatever you want with minimal uploading. It's just impossible to completely eliminate the risk of being caught due to the nature of the BitTorrent protocol. Do make sure that you have set Azureus to use non-standard ports, though. Those use use the default ports are those who are most easily caught in the act. [/QUOTE]
