Spectrum torrent downloading

A VPN is indeed capable of masking your pirating adventures, although you still need to be careful. This is quite a sensitive topic and – as we already covered – if you get too carefree you may get yourself into some real trouble because torrenting is considered illegal in many countries. However, some VPN providers actually do offer torrent support as part of their services. Most of them do this by setting up a few specific P2P servers, usually located in a country where this kind of practice is not that big of a deal. Other VPN companies can also be considered as torrent friendly by allowing you to do it directly on any server.

Pirating content lives and dies on large bandwidth consumption, which is how ISPs typically catch P2P aficionados. In case an ISP sees that you are using an abnormal amount of bandwidth they will most likely look into your account’s records and it won’t take long for them to discover your shady business. This would lead to your internet speed being throttled, and the company also sends you a strike note or refers your case to legal authorities, depending on legislation. However, VPNs mask your IP address and all your traffic becomes anonymous, even for your ISP. From their perspective, all they see is that you are using a VPN and nothing more. Nevertheless, be sure to opt for a VPN service offering unlimited bandwidth, otherwise you handicap yourself with your own safety measure.

It’s also important to check whether a VPN company features a no-log policy, so that records of your activity are not stored by them. This is important since there have been a few known sad cases of VPN companies turning in their customers flagged for torrent-related misdemeanors.

Last but not least, please tread carefully when choosing a VPN located in a country where existing laws force companies to hold logs from their clients for a determined period of time, which overwrites the no-log policy. This is still a grey area as these companies are forced to act in accordance to the law and one can never know if traffic logs are indeed saved or not.
