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?
In the US, most of the biggest IP holders are also among the biggest ISPs. They may not do the show trials any more, but only because they don't have to.
