If you are new to torrenting or don’t think the man is looking at what you are doing, read on...

When I first started torrenting I did not have a VPN since I felt I could not afford it – boy, i was wrong.   After only a few weeks I got an email from my ISP stating what movie I had downloaded and when and to cease.    Now, first of all for newbies, ISPs by law have to send any copyright infringement information to you – basically ISPs do not care what you do as long as you pay your bill.

Now, in all reality 50% of the time nothing will happen even if you get a few more emails.  BUT – I have heard many many stories of people who have been completely cut off by ISP to getting physical letters to jail time.  

Why not spend $20+ a month (or less with discounts) and save yourself the grief of getting caught.  For most part free VPNs are not worth using.

First of all see this on pirating more safetly....

What do VPNs do?

They disguise your activity from ISPs. Your ISP cannot see what you get up to on the internet as all data that passes between your computer and the VPN server is encrypted. This means that your ISP cannot see what you are torrenting, or indeed, that you are torrenting. Prevent others seeing your real IP address.

VPNs are the best way to be anonymous since they mask your IP address and you can move from one country to another at the click of a button. Virtual Private Networks are great as long as you get ones that do not log traffic. Here is an older but great article from the people of torrentfreak with the best of the best for torrenting...
