I heard that in some countries you can get fined for using torrents or seeding beyond a certain limit (Das Deutschlandlied intensifies). How to seed so that no idiot government would get hands on the fact that you are downloading torrents? I am pretty sure I can do this using Tails OS but what else? Is there a safe way to SEED TILL YOU BLEED?

It would have been nice if we (someone but not me) could have created a website where we could read a particular country’s law and how to torrent safely from there.

    Yeah it’s honestly ridiculous that people still torrent. Usenet is by far the better solution, faster, easier, more automated etc.

      How to usenet though? I should know how to use it but I didn’t have internet in my early childhood

        there’s a lot of guides out there. If we were still on reddit I’d refer to the /r/usenet sub community… Not sure the best resource now… sorry. My setup has been working for probably 8 years at this point with literally no bothering with it.

      interesting. I thought it was centralized but apparently not so.

      I think people get a sense of community while they torrent
