    Hi,
    I got some problems here. I live in Sydney, Australia. I use one of the internet provider here. I dont know whether I have to ask this question here or not. I got an email from internet provider regarding about termination account. It was because I downloaded some stuff using torrent. I didn't that it will make some issues. I don't want to get suspend for my internet. Can anyone help me about what do I have to do ? Thank you.

    There is nothing you/we can do. You used their service illegally, and unfortunately now you have to suffer the consequences. Sorry.

    @ joelkrause57

    Either illegal torrent's or exceeding his ISP download limit by downloading torrent's

    In both cases he should know better

    ^Yep. And it doesn't matter if it was your ISP's decision to suspend, or a complaint was filed with your ISP, either way both sides have your IP.
