If you’re torrenting without a VPN you’re doing it wrong. Also you should look at Usenet instead.

What's the situation with usenet these days ? I preferred nzbs over torrents for several years but it just became impossible at around the time nzbmatrix chucked it in.

Better than ever! Seriously.

Indexers like NZBGeek, Drunkenslug, and NZBFinder have resulted in me getting almost anything I want, short of some obscure Australia series from the 80s. Providers are doing 2000+ days retention and I’m only using 1 myself, never even needed to get a backup on a different backbone.

Well that's good to hear. Tormenting sucks in Australia.
