Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?
What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?
Mooch off someone else’s paid VPN.
I2p or opendirectories or direct downloads. Id personally opt for i2p as at least you give something back.
That being said a vpn is cheap.
Hey, this could get you started. Its not the same but you can try “c/Archive” and/or “c/YouTube” but its not much yet :-) You can also try IRC Downloading its free no seeding needed and if you use SASL/SSL you don’t need vpn. There is also something like this “Only One Petabyte and 464,392 files” of shows/movies, should be enought for you for a while =) I mean who needs torrents if you can easily download direct LOL
Never used a VPN. Never got a letter. Hardly heard of anyone being actually sued over downloading one movie out of the millions that do it daily…probably more likely for die driving to work.
Torrent. Install Qbittorrent and just use any Prate bay clone site.
Or SlSk (soul seek) search and download directly from a user. They may expect to see that your sharing files. It’s OK to have nothing when your starting out.
Or Stremio installed on almost any TV or device and stream the content without downloading first. Kodi can do it too but it’s a bit of a setup and I’ve found Stremio to be easier.
The first two install without issie, the last needs a guide to get the good stuff DM me and I’ll send a recommended link.
I’ve done all three for free with no issues - beyond sometimes finding content. That said. The caviets.
The first two can get you a virus if you don’t know what your doing and clicking random things. For torrenting I hear private trackers are better but I’ve never used one.
And the last one does, unfortunately, work better with a paid service (premoumize or real debrid). Cheapest is during black friday and pay for two years. It’s the same as yearly Prime Subscription.

if you live in the US, fair, it’s probably required, but at the same time, 1 year of vpn probably costs the same as 2 months of whatever random netlflix/hulu streaming service. If you have a roommate, split the price? I wouldn’t trust a VPN with anything more sensitive than torrents (without extensive research). Then again, I’m not totally sure I’m willing to vouch for the value of a VPN vs your free options.
You never said what you’re trying to pirate, so I hope this is helpful in finding you solutions that don’t require a VPN:
Only use direct downloads. For example https://rentry.org/megathread-games#direct-downloads I don’t torrent, I don’t use a VPN, nor pay for anything in order to pirate. Sometimes you might have to wait for slower download speeds but often times there is a mirror that will cap out my speeds of 200mb/s
I2P
ITT buncha folks with no reading comprehension, free != pay little.
if ISP/government are looking for folks doing the thing, get a torrent client for your laptop/phone, send links to it, and then seek out some free wifi, like a coffee shop or sumsuch. loiter about, limit download speeds so they don’t ban your freeloading ass and there you go - adventure, fresh air, you don’t gotta download “watch dogs”, you’re living the game!
Check out Tribler. Its based on similar tech as the Tor network and allows for anonymous downloads and uploads. IRC is still a pretty decent option too, if a bit of work.
Why do you need a VPN? If authorities want to go after you they can figure out what you are doing from traffic pattern analysis, they don’t need to read the information being transmitted. If it’s about the letters provierss send sometimes, if they send you one, find a new provider, or worry about a VPN then.
All VPNs do is give you the illusion of being protected while taking your money. They will not deter a determined attacker or the authorities, not that torrenting would be a big deal anyways.
Some VPNs like Mullvad have the option of padding out the flow of data to thwart traffic analysis, at the expense of speed.
direct downloads and JDownloader2, but your mileage will vary with availability
yarrlist has a list of servers that are like the old fmovies, some are worse than others so use an adblocker.
fmhy has a beginners guide, there’s lots of options that don’t require torrenting
for torrenting specifically, I’ve been using cloudflare’s vpn (1.1.1.1) without issues, though it requires a bit of setup with wireguard
Make friends in the criminal underworld. Online, anonymous only. Then ask for a ssh access and install a vpn from there.
gnutella :3
