Peerblock was nice, but I haven't been using it for a long time. I just don't torrent media that this country cares about.
I'm on Comcast. They had a 250GB limit in my area but it was 'suspended' a while ago. So you might want to double check your provider's rules. Btw, anyone can get Comcast 'Business Class' for a slight premium and they have no data caps.
Clockers on the right track, news is where it's at. All the new stuff usually goes there first. News groups got a little attention on the news a year or so ago but they are mostly ignored except for people really in the know.
Clocker: What do you use for a client?
Comcast both suspended their caps and raised them to 300gb in the neighborhoods/cities where they did start enforcing them again. I thought it would be an issue but I have yet to go significantly past half that. Somehow in September I did 154gb but october and november were only 45 and 32. I was sure they were going to keep the data cap hard and maybe ratchet it down to force out netflix/amazon but it seems like they had enough push back to temporarily lift it. Now they are focusing on certain cities to see what they can get away with I guess.

I use the client provided by newshosting.com. Allow me to just type in what I'm looking for and it finds it and all parts in the appropriate group for me...downloads, repairs, extracts, and then deletes all the parts on it's own. Seems pretty good but I have no experience using anything else lately. I've been ramping up my usage...

You are not in any danger, just that something that you might want to download will have been removed before you get a chance to download it.

Must've missed this when it was new.
Anyway, I've been using PrivateInternetAccess.com for few weeks. Unlike BTguard, where I almost never saw torrents transferring at over 200kb/sec, I am actually sustaining almost 4MB/sec in aggregate downloads right now.
It's painless to switch the location of your VPN end point, which means that I can watch streaming BBC content or torrent as if from Sweden.
