Don't Let Torrential Downpour Evidence Go Unchallenged
Defense attorneys and investigators: Get the technical expertise you need to verify claims, expose overstatements, and protect your client in peer-to-peer cases.
You're Facing a Complex Technical Problem
The affidavit claims "single-source download" and "verified evidence." The prosecutor says the Torrential Downpour logs prove everything. But you know better than to accept technical claims at face value.
The challenge: BitTorrent evidence is highly technical, and most defense attorneys won't push back. Without the right expertise, you risk:
- Missing critical gaps between the affidavit's narrative and what the logs actually show
- Accepting "hash match" language that conflates infohash with file hash
- Filing discovery requests that get you boilerplate instead of run artifacts
- Failing to demonstrate case-specific defects that could strengthen suppression motions
You Need a Guide Who's Been in the Trenches
I'm Kenneth G. Hartman. I understand how overwhelming these cases feel when the technical vocabulary is unfamiliar and the stakes are high. You shouldn't have to become a protocol engineer to defend your client effectively.
Since 2015, I've specialized in peer-to-peer investigations—including RoundUp Torrential Downpour. I've published the research (BitTorrent & Digital Contraband), consulted on dozens of federal cases, and testified as a Digital Forensic Expert in federal court. I know what prosecutors claim, what the tools actually produce, and where the defects hide.

What You Can Achieve with the Right Expertise
- File discovery motions that get you the run artifacts that matter—not just screenshots
- Cross-examine investigators on what their logs actually prove (and don't prove)
- Expose staleness, nexus gaps, and material overstatements in the probable cause narrative
- Build suppression strategies grounded in case-specific technical defects
- Present clear, credible technical arguments judges can follow
Don't leave your client's defense to chance. When the case turns on technical evidence you can't afford to guess about, bring in someone who's spent a decade translating BitTorrent protocol into effective legal strategy.
