Funds are limited at the moment and i’d rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i’m not in the US, if that changes anything

    Why would torrenting be unsafe or illegal? It’s not illegal to download files peer to peer, at least in the UK. Where are you located?

      However, in the UK at least, the ISPs are required to log your activity and pass on to the relevant authorities if requested. Best to use an approved VPN to be sure.

        I’d be curious how many account holders in the UK have actually been prosecuted for copyright infringement.

        In nearly two decades with the same ISP (Telewest > Blueyonder > VirginMedia) I’ve had a grand total of two emails from them with no teeth in it, and still download what I want from public trackers to this day.

        I get an actual letter from them? Yay, free toilet paper!
