[–] kib48@lemdro.id 6 points 2 years ago (2 children) needing a paid vpn to torrent without getting spooky ISP notices is a pretty big barrier for me tbh :| permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] windlas@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Use a p2p block list in your torrent client. Once I started using that the emails stopped. I use: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/ But there are probably others permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) A decade ago we figured out blacklists were ineffective.

They're working fine for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago Blocklists are ineffective by design. Each and every member of the swarm can collect all the data necessary to flag you to your ISP. Obviously any professional collecting this kind of data can avoid a blocklist. There is no such thing as a better blocklist. permalink fedilink source parent [–] spaceaape@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Get into a Private tracker. Or You could rent a vps in a country that doesn't care, torrent to that server and stream or sync it locally. You would never be torrenting on your local connection. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 years ago (2 children) I don't understand how private trackers are supposed to be secure. They cannot guarantee that they keep out all bad actors and that means they're basically the same as public trackers, just more exclusive and with a slightly lower risk because of the barrier of entry. I used MyAnonamouse in the past and back then they weren't big fans of VPNs. But I will never use any tracker without a VPN. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago My guess would be that companies will probably go after the 99.9% of people that torrent on public trackers, while ignoring private ones since it's not worth it to go to all that trouble just to track the last 0.1% permalink fedilink source parent [–] spaceaape@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago Never had any issues with the private tracker I'm in or got any letter from my ISP. I definitely don't pay for a vpn. I could always use my rented vps(seedbox) as a vpn if i absolutely needed or wanted to. permalink fedilink source parent
