Encrypting software, protecting my downloads/information from the Gov't/others?

[JoeSakstrup]

What is the best software for protecting my torrent files from being seen by the government, I have a mac.

What is the best way to ensure my privacy on my computer? Preferably a free download.

Thank you very much for your help.

Stop downloading illegal files? Then you'd have nothing to worry about

If you want to hide your porn either move out of your mom's basement or get TrueCrypt and use it to encrypt your entire HDD.

But seriously there is nothing you can to completely hide the things on your computer. There are ways to get around if the agency is motivated enough. Hiding things from friends, family and local snoops is pretty easy but you'll have to do the research yourself so your actually educated about security.
