    Is it possible for your IP to nail you if you seed with your VPN off? I always get nervous about this

      Within qBitTorrent go to settings, advanced, network interface and bind your VPN adapter to it. By doing this if the VPN cuts out no data is transferred because there's no connection for the program to make.

      Yeah if they're in the torrent's peer swarm. That's how Suddenlink managed to get me years ago (and for an episode of Mad Men, of all things ironicat ).

      I personally don't seed much if I'm not torrenting from like, a private tracker or like a public site/tracker that is only doing eBooks or anime (Nyaa.si for example) as a rule because of this. Haven't ever gotten a letter from Suddenlink or AT&T in the 10+ years since.
