My OP was more about atheism than Josh Duggar.
In any case, I have dug a little deeper into this one. Apparently, JD was using a bittorrent client to download child porn, and the Arkansas police caught him with the use of a modified bittorrent client called Torrential Downpour, which was created by the FBI and is exclusive to the federal and local police.
To download something in a P2P (peer to peer) swarm means that someone has to be uploading it, which means that the creep who did so in JD's case is still at large. Arkansas law enforcement was simply part of the swarm, which is how they got JD's IP address, tracing things to his business computer.
Most perverts are, of course, smart enough not to use their home and business IPs to download illegal material, instead using anonymous public WiFi which is available nearly everywhere. Uploading (being a seeder) is much more difficult, as such typically requires having an open port via port forwarding on one's router.
The real "pros" bypass bittorrent all together using Tails, which forces all connections through the Tor network, and they encrypt their data using strong encryption (such as VeraCrypt), making such virtually impossible to view unless one has the passphrase and key files.
In short, not only is JD a pervert but a dumb one.
