ISP called, I got caught torrenting. I guess tor isn't enough. Serves me right for being too cheap to pay for vpn.

My question is, the date they listed they had got me I literally wasn't home; so if companies delayed report the couple other big ticket games I torrent, how boned am I? Because they already gave me a warning today.

I know I won't actually get prosecuted, but I'm gonna be pissed if I get my internet shut off after I stopped torrenting.

Why are you not using XD**?
If you really wanna continue torrenting, then use Private Internet Access' VPN.

In regards to Tor, you should consult the documentation for Tor and find out why that's retarded. If you just had the Tor browser open to download the .torrent files and then open up the .torrent files in your torrent client then nothing went over Tor anyway.

Also: Don't use uTorrent. Use Deluge or qBittorrent
>>
>Sorry, it won't happen again

ISPs only issue warnings to cover themselves, because they could be liable for contributory copyright infringement if they don't. But honestly, they foot-drag on any sort of penalty because they know a sizable chunk of their users pay for higher speed access to be able to torrent.

>In a case determining whether and under what circumstances internet service providers may be held liable for the uploading and downloading of infringing copyrighted musical works by their subscribers, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia held ISPs can be liable, if the ISP fails to properly follow the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). See BMG Rights Mgmt. (US) LLC, v. Cox Commc’n, Inc., No 1:14-cv-1611, 119 USPQ2d 1165 (E.D.Va. August 8, 2016).

Wtf you did?

you would need to use a whonix gateway to force the traffic through tor but you shouldn't torrent using tor because it slows the network down and your download would be slow as ball anyway

use a vpn faggot

Then configure your VPN. Mullvad and PIA are good.
>>
>>59905263
Autists are supposed to be good at shit like this OP. Anyways, if you want to keep torrenting get a VPN and follow their instructions to set it up, then google how to set up your torrenting client to use a VPN. If you don't want to keep torrenting you could probably do noting and noting will happen, if something happens just deny that you were torrenting say that you had no password on your wifi or something, to be extra safe you could hide/trash your hard drives.

you have to use private trackers, that's the only thing.

i downloaded a celeb porn tape from the pirate bay a few years ago and then my isp emailed me with a warning, then the company that goes after pirates emailed me saying i have to pay $500 or else they will take it to court or some shit, i live in canada so i was like pft i'm not paying shit they aren't going to go to court over $500 and i just ignored their e-mail.

your isp doesn't give a fuck that you torrent, they just care when they get e-mailed about you downloading copyright shit.

good thing i live in canada and my isp (Rogers) didn't hand over my personal info to that company.
>>
>>59904924
> ISP called

That seems a bit sketchy. Will ISPs actually call you over this? What ISP? The one time I got a warning over this Verizon sent an email. Sounds like a scam. Like how the ((IRS calls and says you owe big and are alerting the authorities))
>>
>>59904924
You don't torrent on tor, you fucking idiot.

So use a qBittorrent with a VPN? Not OP, but I'm fairly new to torrenting.

Dont private trackers disallow VPN's?

>>59904924

Did you honestly not do any research before you started to torrent over tor? This is why you use a VPN.
>>

they do not bypass tor, but leaking the ip is just how the torrent protocol works

This is sickening. These companies are literally worth billions and their CEOs literally wipe their ass with fucking 100 dollar bills. Its not like most normies torrent anyway. So what kind of sick mindset they have to go after a bunch of people who can't afford shit?

That said, if the days comes and I can't torrent shit without getting beheaded, I will delve into my pdf library and read books throughout my life, even if I have the money to afford Jew Entertainment Subscription (R).

One of many problems with torrenting over tor.
>>
IDK but my ISP apparently don't give a flying fuck if I torrent or what I grab from torrents. Over the years at my height of torrent mania I downloaded over 2TB of mixed content. (Mostly shows/Movies & porn but some software to). They (ISP) didn't bat an eye. These days I don't torrent nearly as much and the few times that I do use torrent it's for smallish files (say under 4GB). Those times are mostly on the behalf of other people, they don't got a clue what a torrent is.

IIRC, in the USA, ISPs are required by law to inform their customers if they are suspected of piracy. They generally don't give a fuck and are just covering their asses.

To be safe, pay for a VPN. If you're concerned about any loss in speed, create a virtual machine to connect to the VPN and download the torrents.

>>59905052
>If you just had the Tor browser open to download the .torrent files and then open up the .torrent files in your torrent client then nothing went over Tor anyway.
No one can be that dumb.

>>59904924
Torrents send your ip to the tracker or broadcast it in the dht. Tor is useless.


Also, stop living in a cucked country.
>>
>>59908622
This does not prove your point. The protocol still has to send your ip. If you wanted to torrent through tor you would need a dedicated IP to setup an entry point.

>>59908792
>a cucked country.

They tend to give you three warnings and then cut off your service. Never admit to doing anything. The copyright owners don't get detailed information on you from the ISP's because the ISP's still want to have customers.

That is not how it works.
The ISP only delivers the notice. The media companies track the tracker and dht to find who is torrenting and then notifies the ISP. Even if she did tunnel the traffic the client still would have to announce it's ip to the network.

but 32MB piece size is retarded
you want small pieces (just not too small) to quickly enable peers to help distribute the file
>>
Wait could someone clarify this for me, surely OP didn't just browse to the torrent site and then start a download outside of the tor browser right?

How can the ISP see you're torrenting if you get the torrent traffic through Tor? All they would see if encrypted traffic from you to a tor node right
>>
Anyone here a Cox Communications subscriber/User? I've had x8 DMCA strikes since may 2015. Read an article somewhere about it taking 12 or even 15 stirkes before you get your first warning and have to call your ISP to clear up your account. how many strikes to you people have so far?

the exit node sends the torrent protocol packets to the tracker
inside those packets is the IP of the compooper the client is running on because the tracker/other peers needs to be able to connect to it

Ah ok so the torrent doesn't know how to route the seed data through tor, it has to do it directly to the public IP of the client, gotcha thank you
