VPNs while downloading torrents, use them

Which is why using private trackers tends to avoid the issue. Fewer users on the tracker and higher bar of entry means nintendo doesnt care enough when they can go after 10x as many people on piratebay.

PIA is so slow though. Nord is just 2-5x faster.

Another vote for PIA. Amazing service

well 360 of their servers are the same that other famous and infamous vpn companies use so your statement is worth nothing.

well seems like surfshark is banned by australian tv broadcasters.
i can t watch survivor :slight_smile:

We have metadata collection laws.

Thanks, I’ll look into them.

This doesn’t sound like a good advice.

Where I live, you don’t get a notice from your ISP. The copyright holder gets your data from the ISP via court order and then you get a letter from their lawyers requesting depending on what you did in payments or they’ll sue you for double or thrice that amount. For example, a music album costs like 1500$/1200€/1000£ and they then threaten to sue you for maybe 5000$/4000€/3500£… Obviously not telling you that no judge would sign on that, just to get you to accept the settlement.

For example, Germany, too.

Sometimes it’s faster. There are also no Quotas so if the shops go down, you still have the torrents.

I’ll look into this, thanks.

HTTPS won’t help you. With the way torrents work, your IP needs to be visible to anyone who wants to download a torrent, so copyright holders can see it too

Did you glance over the part of the post where its been over a decade without any DMCA issues?

I thought their VPN was free. But I’m skeptical since they are new in the VPN world.

They track “the swarm”, not where you got the torrent file. the browser you use (e.g. ToR isn’t doing anything for you. You’ve probably just gotten extremely lucky or use private sites .

There’s nothing wrong with downloading torrents if you have a good VPN.

It’s a very ancient spinoff of a forum which is completely closed, including invites, sorry.

Currently have Mullvad, i wouldn’t recommend this vpn if you travel outside the us and want to steam stuff on Hulu or Netflix as all servers still show that you’re out of the country :-/

Noted! I would only use Nord for torrenting specifically, since yeah, definitely a shady company. Mullvad is definitely what I’m grabbing when my Nord sub is up; they can even be payed through the mail lol.
