I’m just sad its Torrents now. I personally avoid Torrents whenever “piracy” is involved, because everyone who connects to the same Torrent can see my IP.
Are there actually any alternatives that are more secure? No matter how you aquire your media online your IP will be exposed to someone.
The problem for me is not that it is exposed to “someone”. I am okay with Myrient getting my IP. The problem with Torrent is, that anyone joining the session gets all IPs from everyone who is connected at the moment.
I just don’t understand what you are protecting yourself from, in my opinion if anyone can create a list of all of the pirated content you downloaded, you’ve already lost all security. A VPN should always be used.
