Is a VPN necessary for torrenting? - Divisions by zero
I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent,
but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t
cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that
dangerous to torrent without one?
Just an FYI: for the cost of a VPN, you can buy a Usenet subscription. Depending on your content, you'll get far better speeds, far more privacy, far more content, and far more availability.
I used to be all over usenet. Starting about 10-12 years ago most of the indexers turned to shit; either that or takedowns have eviscerated the back catalog of content from providers. I've yet to find a good tracker that can find anything (that's more than 12-24 hours old).
