Any VPN instantly solves this problem though?
I remember Nord premium had P2P servers, but the speeds where horrendous. Somewhere around 10.000 Kbits. downloading something meant that all the other programs that required bandwidth were almost unusable. I just settled on watching stuff through streams in 'meh' quality. Plus, a VPN just obscures your traffic from your ISP. But almost all mainstream VPNs have at some point either been caught or, admitted to keeping and sometimes selling backlogs. They're just as much of a leach on you wallet as any other subscription service.
May i introduce you to mullvad VPN? They have a no log policy(proven in court) and you don't need to send the personal information for signup. If you want you can even pay them by dumping a letter with your account ID and 5€ in their mail box. Or crypto.
I use AirVPN since Mullvad removed port forwarding
Over the years i've torrented with no VPN, Tunnelbear, NordVPN, Mozilla VPN, and Proton; i'm pretty sure all of them messed up my torrenting in some way, not necessarily by making the connection slower, but by making some peers invisible and making me invisible to some peers.
And then there was Soulseek, which had me trying and failing to set up port forwarding. It was complicated and still didn't work as well as it would have if i didn't have a VPN.
Incidentally, i do need a VPN to torrent because i've gotten two fine-threatening letters already
I’d go down the route of paying for a seed box with crypto and then using that with a WireGuard tunnel to download via FTP. Any government involved would have to really, really care about me downloading a film here or there to work out who is using this seed box to download things.
I was actually thinking of using I2P, but there may be complications there too and i don't want to get my hopes up too much
