    Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

      You don’t need a VPN if you use a Debrid service for torrents instead of a torrent client. It’s cheaper than a VPN and you get direct downloads at consistent Gigabit speeds too.

        It’s not really cheaper, and I can use my VPN for other things. Torguard with promotional price is $30/year. I got a dedicated IP so I can open ports with it. Used them for almost 7 years, upload about 1TB/day

        Nzb and newshosting gets me gig speeds too
