Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?

What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?

    Seems like a lot of people replying need to work on their reading comprehension…

    Use private trackers only. Public trackers are way easier to identify you on.
    Disable DHT, PeX and Local Peer Discovery in your BitTorrent client. This will prevent you connecting to random public peers.
    If you’re just interested in movies/TV I recommend streaming sites with an adblocker. Just so much easier and safe enough. Find sites on fmhy.net

      Source on that? This is the first I’ve heard of it

        Common sense?
        Choose one of the following scenarios which you think has the least chance of getting caught when cheating on your partner:

        1. Anal in broad daylight at the local public park.
        2. Anal in shady motel out of town.
