There is so much in that last explanation that assumes a certain level of knowledge on my part, (MITM'ing on the wire, SSL encryption, NZB's, seeding,) that I feel like I just need to quit while I'm ahead and find a less hardcore place to learn this stuff. Seriously, thanks for the answers. If someone is willing to spend a little time and spell this all out for me step by step, please feel free to private message me.
I'm sorry!
I usually expect a certain level of autodidacticism around these parts. We're all geeks, right?! :-)
I'm more-than-willing to help if you choose to go down the Usenet route. Drop me a PM if you do.
