I've been banned from an ISP before for torrenting (thankfully, I had multiple ISPs available for me). At the moment, I just "pay" legally because I get a few "free" streaming plans from my mobile provider and ISP. Occasionally, I just use a free streaming site if I really want to watch something that's not available to me. Every once in a while, I try anonymous p2p such as Tribler or torrenting over I2P, but it's still extremely slow, unfortunately. I've never used Usenet, but I think it's about the same price as a VPN or seedbox would be? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] spaceaape@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Get into a private tracker, or rent a VPS in a country that doesn't bend to the whim of capitalism, torrent to that vps and stream or sync it locally. I find that to have more peace of mind than using a vpn w/Killswitch. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) To get into a private tracker you need to have a good seed to leech ratio, and to do that you need to upload a lot, which is what gets you on the ISP hitlist. This solution is by definition not useful for people in countries where the ISPs enforce no torrenting permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spaceaape@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) First, torrenting isn't illegal, and No ISP "enforces no torrenting" lol Your understanding of the solution here is a snake eating its own tail. Might wanna think on that one bud. Did the chicken or the egg come first? Solid Ratio or the private tracker account? Figure out how private trackers work first, then come correct. The real answer here is that there are intro private trackers one can join on an invite or free join days. If one desires, one then works on their ratio there to get into a better private tracker. Copyright holder's pay people to take snapshots of all the IP addresses currently leeching or seeding specific material on public trackers, so they can contact the ISP with the info and request they do something about it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] geophysicist@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Are you deliberately being obtuse? They do enforce no torrenting of copyrighted material. Downloading they tend to not care, but uploading will get you legal notices in many EU nations permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] spaceaape@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago No you're just not understanding. Torrent is a web protocol, like http, ftp, and more. It's not inherently illegal. When you're downloading you spend less time on the public tracker and have less chance of being caught downloading than if you're seeding, or uploading. In the states, the copyright holder takes snapshots of the public trackers IP address pool for specific torrents of their intellectual property, and requests your ISP send you a notice and threaten disconnection. permalink fedilink source parent [–] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago Usenet seems to work really well, and can be surprisingly cheap. Try FrugalUsenet. If you want both VPN and Usenet then try something like Eweka. They do deals where you get both Usenet access and a cheap VPN. It's about €105 for 15 months or €6.99 per month. permalink fedilink source parent
