Get a (good) VPN like Proton + Tor for example and just download them via torrents or something
It's okay
I would avoid Proton since they're in the USA, but overall, I would agree with your message.
Check their TOS (terms of services). You will see they cite only two countries: Switzerland and the United States.
They fall under U.S. Justification, but their TOS tries to claim they're primarily Switzerland.
Proton is problematic due to cooperating with the FBI. Did they resist? Yeah, sure. Could they have resisted a lot more and in more public ways? Definitely.
Plus the owner is allegedly a racist bigoted POS. Proton might shield similarly-minded users, but anyone else, caveat utilitor.

Privacy-focused email provider Proton gave Swiss authorities payment data that reached the FBI, identifying an anonymous activist. The person was arrested for trespassing. Here's what happened and how to avoid the same trap.
@jakebrake @trebach @Linux @stux any VPN would hand over the data that they have if presented with a warrant...
Its a matter of what and how much data that VPN provider collects as shown in privacy policies...
