    why is more likely for people to get caught if they download from a torrent then from a direct download??

    It's not, if your tracker isn't logging your IP. Direct download sites tend to log all traffic.

    its slightly easier to catch people on a torrent because if one of the other peers is a stooge and you connect to them it will get your IP, but ipfilter.dat will prevent that for most part. Direct downloads would require acess to the server in order to get peoples IPs. Either way is a very low likelyhood, compared to normal peer to peer such as limewire.
