I even thought I could get around around it by deleting the torrent off of utorrent as soon as it was done downloading. They still busted me. Luckily this was all in my old roommates name since he was the one who had the account in his name. Some internet providers are anal about it and some aren't. I also got caught downloading the new indiana jones movie over a year ago.

Yeah, I've downloaded a few movies from Torrents, but I've tried not to abuse it. It's just a matter of time before they completely shut it down though.
