Torrent Precautions?
-
I've become increasingly worried about getting caught with all the torrenting I do. I've managed to stay under the radar as of now, but I don't really have any precautions in place to avoid detection and I'm not too savvy about that kind of stuff. Is there anything I can do (without paying for any proxy/VPN services) to protect myself? Any advice is welcome.

My two cents:
Don't reproduce, don't sell, don't broadcast, don't archive and don't present the stuff to another audience… consume the stuff by yourself and don't get any advantage out of the usage ( apart from the salvation through your own sexual climax :cheers: )
I think that's about it and you shouldn't worry more about it. If you stick to this usage, the only violation is consuming a thing, which you didn't pay for - a very small violation, which only can result in a subsequent billing. … and because this is would be the only violation, it's called "a void prosecution" and can mostly not be maintained.

Thanks I appreciate the advice. What about seeding a torrent after downloading it? I want to help others and improve my ratio. Would that be considered redistribution?

There is no international law for sharing files and therefore there is no decent advice, if you may share a file with others or not, sosohorny. Sometimes it's a grey zone, sometimes it's illegal and in some countries they just don't care about it at all. I am not giving you any legal, or illegal advice - I just want to point out, why copyright violations might be intersting for prosecutors and which may be a rather unintersting fraud. I am pretty sure, that you know, that stealing an apple isn't right, but in some situations, it isn't illegal. :hug:
You may recognize, that my answers to these questions leave a lot of freedom for interpretations. Please let's just leave it that way. ^^
Depending on your client usage there might be a lot of possibilies not showing your actual IP to others, but this doesn't result in a way, which makes it impossible to get to know this information. You will find some interesting things using Google with the words "bittorent" "your bittorrent client" "free proxy service" ( yes, please use the "" to reduce the search results ^^ ), or "free vpn service".

Thanks again for the advice!
