Via grimboy.co.uk. If you are in the UK and downloading files from filesonic.com, you are being watched.

According to HTTP request results from ISP virginmedia, any connection to filesonic.com routed through virginmedias proxy. This means any communication with that service may be being watched.
Virgin media has a traffic shaping policy but requests to other file locker services such as rapidshare does not get routed through their proxy.
Very suspicious indeed!

You can test this by yourself. Download, install and run Fiddler. Go to Request builder tab click on Execute after typing http://filesonic.com in to the address filed. Once request completed you should see results. On result page click on Headers tab. See below screenshots
