Is it actually dangerous to torrent without a VPN? Is it more dangerous on certain public trackers than other public trackers (like with more well-known ones like ThePirateBay for example)?
Have my parents already got a fine in the mail for it but never asked if it was me?
Is it actually dangerous to torrent without a VPN...
thepiratebay doesn’t operate a tracker anymore, they are only an indexer
As long as you don't seed, nobody cares
Oh, so does that make it more or less dangerous than using a tracker?
I do seed though...am I screwed?
My qbittorrent has been shitting it since this newest W10 update, what's a good alternative lads?
...
depends on the country
>windows
Yeah, cuy could remove that malware from your harddrive
You can get sued. Happened to my friend for downloading porn lol. He hit at a friends house so you couldnt be served his subpoena lol. Just pay for a vpn it is worth it
what country? also, where did he torrent from, like what site?
Thanks m8, nice digits.
Usa, idk where he found the torrent. Usa is probably the worst country to corrent in without a vpn because the companies you are stealing from are usually american and it is not hard for them to sue you
you too.
FUG
A nice get was missed here
Some isp's care and will send u an email that day.
Some isp's dont care and u can torrent all u want
Just get a vpn like pia, its fucking cheap and is good enough
Another option would be a VPS or a cheap dedicated server. There should be some nice HDD based ones around. On kimsufi you can get an entire dedicated server for about 5-10 euro, but I don't know how OVH reacts to torrenting. They used to be popular with private trackers before.
Public trackers are always riskier (and low quality). Stay with private trackers whenever possible.
I really liked Vuze cuz swarm merge, sequential downloads, rss downloader, download schedule, cute gui, cute peer viewer, etc.
I stopped using it when Ubuntu remove it from its repo :c
Nice nunbahs
United States. Sorry for the late reply
can we put this newfag shit to rest. Seeding does not increase your chance. When you are torrenting you are actively uploading anyways, how do you think the bittorrent protocol works?
I highly recommend a VPN if you are torrenting games, movies, etc. PIA is a good one, and with qBittorrent and other clients you should bind the network interface to it so it will never use your real connection.
