Note: The download service notification only keeps track of files downloaded via
BitTorrent.

9.11.5 BitTorrent Security

When you download using BitTorrent, you reveal your IP address. This increases
the risk of hacking attacks, which can be protected against by a good firewall.
Use a Hardware-based Firewall
Place a hardware-based firewall between your network and the Internet (a
software-based firewall on your computer would just protect the computer itself,
not the NSA since your computer is not between your NSA and the Internet).
