I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

Personally I just have a Real-Debrid sub for like 3 euros a month and do any torrenting via them.

Also useful for streaming just about anything in Kodi, and for downloading from file hosts

Can you use real debrid to automatically grab torrents from a private tracker (maybe through autobrr)?

This wont be good for your ratio.

Sorry, do you mean using it in place of BitTorrent wouldn't be good? Does it not seed back?
