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.

    So, most people would recommend using a VPN, but at that price and with those limited speeds, you’re better off using a seedbox instead. With a seedbox, the torrent is downloaded and seeded on a remote server, and once it’s done you can then download the file normally, at full speed, via https. You could even use a download manager to speed up the download, and some sites even allow you to stream the content directly (if it’s a video), so you don’t even need to download the file first.

      Or you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle and use that money to get an account with a Usenet provider. You still end up downloading everything at full speed over HTTPS, but you don’t have to bother with the extra step of waiting for your seedbox to download the torrent.
