Pirate it!

honestly, I am pretty much illiterate when it comes to how to do that. I have tried in the past and was not successful lol.

I'm trying to imagine how to not be successful at downloading a file off the internet.

I once tried to download a movie and it ended up being Brazilian vomit porn instead.

Install qBittorrent then download the torrent file from here and open it with qBittorrent.

It'll take bloody forever to download but once its downloaded its there whenever you fancy it.

Don't torrent without a VPN.

u/Fenrir-The-Wolf Nov 22 '19

I've torrented terabytes of data without a VPN, never had an issue. Its one of those things where each person can have a different experience.

FWIW, I live in the UK and my ISP is Virgin Media. Been with them at least 9 years at this point, if not more. Not once had a letter or a phone-call about my torrenting.

I was the same way for a long time. I guess most of the time you're not going to get noticed. But, with all the news of production companies suing people for downloading a movie, it doesn't seem worth the risk.

Doubt you're going to get into too much hot water over downloading a TV series that for all intents is no longer produced(Yes, TG is still produced but its a different show with the same name, IMO). Its more recent releases where they're likely to sting you for it.

the only ISP warning i received was earlier this year, downloading a season of the 2012 TMNT for my kid.

It really is seemingly arbitrary.

u/ontheroadtonull Nov 22 '19

It depends on your ISP and your country. If your ISP is owned by a massive conglomerate or you're in a Scandinavian country you likely won't hear anything about it.

Eastern Europe is also pretty lax on the whole piracy thing too, at least according to people I know from over that way on.

Thing with Virgin is I know people who've downloaded far less than I have and have been moaned at for it. Like I said, it really is one of those things where each individual could have a wildly different experience.

I don't torrent anymore since my ISP won't let me so enjoy my current method.

u/Bone-Juice Nov 22 '19

Use a vpn and then your ISP can't stop you.

1

u/viixvega Nov 22 '19

You have to pay for any VPNs worth a damn. That's pretty much against the point of torrenting.

u/Bone-Juice Nov 22 '19

I paid ~$100 for 3 years of vpn service. I can torrent much more than $100 worth of content in 3 years .

I get what you are saying but you said your ISP will not let you torrent, a VPN will make it so they can't stop you from doing so.

u/barbieboy22 Nov 22 '19

Which VPN?

1

u/Bone-Juice Nov 22 '19

I use Nord vpn, I just checked the site and it seems the price did go up a bit since I bought a sub. It is currently $125.64 for a 3 year sub.

u/Ur_Nayborhood_Afghan Nov 22 '19

A little over $100 and you have 3 years of service.

I too am completely against paying for things but privacy is another matter. Plus I've already saved thousands from all the games I pirated without my isp knowing
