I have to wait till I'm back home in June to download most things. You can serve jail time here in Singapore for just downloading pirated material. If you check IPs of people serving material I'm pretty sure that you will almost never see anyone from Singapore seeding.
Experience here tells me that I can grab things that have a TON of seeds (more than 400 seeders) fairly safely (not to mention those seem to overcome the throttle my connection has from this apartment).
Even in Chinatown I haven't seen anyone selling bootlegs. The only time I have seen any was when I was in the Chinese Garden taking photographs and a woman came up with a duffle bag full of bootleg porn for sale (even Playboy Magazine is illegal here).
I have been keeping track of Heroes since I got here and there were over 12,000 seeds for the new Naruto so I was able to snag that with no problem.
The big thing for me is I don't want to do any jail time or get booted out of Singapore.
