it also depends on how much of a damn your provider gives about what you do on the internet, virgin i believe have tried to crack down on mainly torrent users and will threaten you with diconection but they do have a big self interest in stopping music piracey , BT simply slow your connection down at peak times if you download too much

most internet providers wont even look at your account unless somone reports to them that you are downloading things you shoudlnt and because with torrents you are opening your computer up to teh world it is very easy for them to see what you are doing once they connect to the same source as what you are and then contact your provider to complain

if you look in your torrent application it will show all the ip addresses of computers you are conected to sometimes with a countries flag next to it and one of them could be a govenment agency from anywhere in the world

peerguardian is a legal application that you run while using torrents to reduce the chances of conecting to govenment agency or suspect computers but its not %100 fool proof so if you must use open torrent sites you do so at your own risk and have no one to blame but yourself if you get catched lol
