Peer Guardian or something else?

[Mr Ono]

With Mandy kicking up a storm about banning peeps who use P2P - what is the best way to cover tracks when using torrents?

I currently use uTorrent to grab US TV shows. Mostly on private trackers.

Is Peer Guardiam any good these days or is there an alternative?

If you use PeerGuardian you might find this site useful:

Peer Guardian won't protect you against ISP snooping. SSH tunneling servers are your best bet for that.

Of course huge amounts of traffic through an SSH connection is incredibly suspicious anyway...

I'm not sure how being banned from the internet is actually enforceable.

Like Mr Ono said Mr Mandelson thought it would be a great idea to try and inforce that idea. And got a bit of stick http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8219652.stm

But then the good old EU Paliament stuck a spanner in his plans.
"EU Parliament approves law ensuring Internet access as a fundamental right"

What he said. You can get also get "VPN" accounts abroad (eg Sweden) which do the same thing but are easy to set up.
