ive heard some rumors that virgin is cracking down on downloaders and that if you are found downloading anything they will warn you to stop and then actually cut off your internet. anyone heard anything about it?
 
Then you had better pull out your Ethernet cable right now since you downloaded this entire page.

Downloading is not illegal. By definition, when you use TCP/IP, you're receiving packets. At this point, it's just semantics. `Receiving` is `downloading` to most English speakers. I know nothing about UK law, but I do know that `downloading` is not a crime, so there's nothing to `crack down` on.

If you mean breaking the law, then no, I haven't heard anything about that, but, then again, I'm not a Virgin customer, so I probably wouldn't be the first to hear about such a policy.
