Also download and use a program called PeerBlock. It keeps a blacklist of IPs that supposedly belong to anti-P2P groups and doesn't allow a connection so that you don't upload anything to them.

I've heard of it, but never used it. Guess I might as well start using it now!

Is PeerBlock easier to use than PeerGuardian was back in the day?

PeerBlock is a fork of PeerGuardian, the same but still actively developed.
