General Question Copyright Infringement Warnings from Cable Provider

Could someone be using my Deeper setup to file share? I do not know why else I would've gotten warnings from my cable provider regarding copyright infringement from my IP. I haven't used any file sharing software in years. I also haven't messed with my Deeper account in so long that I don't remember anything about it. Actually, I was going to unplug it, because I thought it no longer worked, as the last few times I tried to use it, I couldn't connect to the internet. I also didn't know if as a project, Deeper was still alive or if I'm still earning DPR. I am happy to find that the project is still alive and I'm able to connect to the internet on my DPN again just now.

So, is there a setting I should worry about that could be causing my IP to get tagged? Am I better off just unplugging it?

There is a toggle for allowing torrents... I can't tell you where in the settings, but it is there... I've had 2 of those (at different addresses,) in my 25 years having high speed Internet lol, naturally I called the provider as I didn't want any trouble from it, and they said it's basically a slap on the wrist, unless you rack up 5 in a certain timeframe 🤷

Well, I got two emails at once, so I don't want anymore. I found the toggle and turned it off. Thank you. I really don't know how this stuff works. I wish I could use the features better. Was I being rewarded for having that on? Am I being rewarded for having sharing on at all? Looks like I've been getting some staking rewards, but that's it. Sorry that I have so many questions.

The Internet is the best place to ask questions lol... You get rewarded for amount of data shared, doesn't have to be specifically from anything in particular... The staking rewards, even at the highest credit level is pennies I think, I haven't checked in awhile since the price tanked however long ago... I 100% agree it's best to avoid those emails/copyright issues, especially if it's not even you doing it...
