I used to torrent things back in highschool until Comcast sent my parents a couple emails, one from torrenting Fable another from Jay-Z's American Gangster (which I still love to this day). So I get how it works and what I need.

But I just got a VPN and now I'm ready to get back into it. Before I was on a Mac and I used Transmission. Is that still a good client to use on Windows? Or are there other ones I should use instead? Is 🏴‍☠️bay a safe place for magnets, or somewhere else? My computer sucks so I won't be going after new games, just older ones and some shows that aren't streaming but I want to checkout.

And am I really that safe using a VPN? Like untraceable, no emails or letters from my ISP for downloading shit?

    Should probably explain what a seedbox is. A seedbox is a dedicated computer you rent that you use for torrenting. It's an alternative to using a VPN for torrenting. The principle is similar in that it doesn't connect your IP directly to the torrent. The seedbox also runs 24/7 and probably has a fancy internet connection.
