Most discourse about this is from Americans. I've never used a VPN to torrent and it's never been a problem
Depending on which country we're talking about... I disagree with most people here. If your country doesn't care, and because of that your ISP doesn't keep logs... What benefit would a VPN have? It'd just cost you money and make everything a bit slower. And there's another company messing with your data. IANAL, though.
Try to see if there are any cases of notices being sent or internet provider shutoffs. If nothing comes up and you are truly in a country that doesn’t care, I don’t see what you need to worry about.
In general, movie piracy is more targeted by rightsholders, so if OP is not interested in this category he's pretty safe in a country the doesn't care.
I mean, probably not? If no one in your country has ever been charged or extradited over it then it's unlikely you will.
use the default tor option in qbittorrent, more than enough just to be extra safe
I thought you weren't supposed to torrent over tor or am I understanding something wrong here?
No, do not torrent over tor, that network is not suited for it.
