tysroby Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 The other day I received a threatening letter from a French agency, stating I will clearly regret it, if I will continue my illegal download spree. I never used a VPN before, and I was unsuccessfully trying to get Avast's Secureline to work. So would you please recommend me a different VPN, to make my torrenting worry-free? I honestly don't have 1500 Euros if they decide to fine me Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.G.B. Spender Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 PIA - the only I could find with lots of servers, good speeds, no p2p throttling, good ping for online games - and most importantly supports Port Forwarding in certain countries. None other major providers support Port Forwarding. Without forwarding 3/4 of my magnet links don't even receive metadata (Tried torrenting via NordVPN via the recent 3 day trial - terrible). Been using PIA on my 24/7 dl/seedboox close to 2 years now without any issue. Lastly be it said that I do not believe any VPN operator however strongly he touts "no logs" policy wouldn't magically produce them if ordered by FBI, but I use vpn to shield my traffic from ISP mostly.

If you don't have the money to take the risk, don't take the risk, that easy. Why? i pay pennies a day for a private service that let me download from most all OCH hosters and i can do torrents too without even accessing p2p, torrent to direct link . Buying OCH hosters is so 2008 it's not funny , this idea died out when Kim Dotcom got megaupload shut down and and others closed down out of paranoia and millions of people lost all there storage . From 2011 still to this day i don't store stuff in the cloud i want to keep i keep it on external HDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I don't mean that by paying for it, nobody cares as long as you don't pay money for anything, nor have an account somewhere. There are craploads of sites supporting bunch of good free OCH's, no need to risk it. And what does a VPN if your provider can hand all the shiney information over in plain text.

Yes there is some sites that offer free links, but there very limited on what they offer . Many sites i know you cant get a file over 1gb from a fast free hoster and if they do offer files over 1gb if one of links is dead you're sol, with the service i pay a few pennies a day for, i can just go to rarbg or one of the Russian sites and put in a 30 or 40 gb BLU-RAY disc torrent or go to one of the forums i belong too that post HD releases and dl from paid OCHs . Also I can stream 4k - SD via Kodi with it too . I never heard of no one getting turned in by there VPN for just torrenting anyways . In my country its just a civil matter and not a criminal offense no ways . The RIAA and MPAA has set massive fines for illegal downloads in the past , mainly to discourage the practice. they know they want never see the money and this has been happing since the early 2000s in my country since back in the days of Kazza and Imesh long before torrneting was used much and still if i want to download some music if i cant find on the open Internet, i still use a old timey peer to peer client that's not BitTorrent with a vpn an never had a bit of trouble. My ISP are butt holes they have a cap in place that they never enforce unless they can see you pirating when im behind a vpn they cant see me or what i download Im watching netflix and youtube for all they know I would trust some vpns more than i would any OCH (get rich scams) because most of them state in there toss they will give you're info over to the cops if asked and if you don't use no vpn, they going get you're real ip for sure . You do nothing to protect you're privacy you'll have no privacy ..Its you're choice . You sure do put a lot of faith in you're ISP that can see what you dl . I been on the Internet since 2001 and been using vpn since 2011 and i never been bothered ever in real life. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radpop Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I don't torrent but theoretically your VPN has to have kill switch - no bits transferred after VPN connection drops. Avoid German-based - Cyberghost, Zenmate, Avira... and US-based - PIA, VPN Unlimited... VPN providers. Avoid HMA and other openly logging VPN providers. NordVPN is good if you can get enough speed for your server area, and they have three day trial to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it doesn't support port forwarding, but the speeds make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
