You change the MAC address of the router, not the computer, before and
after every P2P download.

Not specifically you. They're also spying me and everyone. :-)
Be sure to have pg active and http blocking enabled, while you're
using a p2p or torrent client.

Unfortunately is normal, so be sure you're making your precautions!

What I don't understand is that I get hits like this even when I haven't
downloaded anything in weeks.

Do they "remember" us somehow and then keep trying even if our bit torrent
client isn't working?

I guess I'm asking what does it actually mean when we get a hit from, say,
the "LA County Sheriff's Office"?

Are they hitting everyone?

There's quite a lot more background "noise" on the Internet than you
might expect. Plus hopeful hackers performing wide area port scans.
Possible you're seeing some of this.

IP addresses can be spoofed and not refer back to the real sender.
Alternatively some malware may have entered an innocent owner's
machine and it is sending out what you are seeing.

Worry? I wouldn't worry if I saw this on my connection. I don't
know how well protected your machine is so I can't say if you need to
worry. At a *guess*, is probably not a problem for you.
