- soylentcola 11y agoThere are several low cost VPNs that generally don't keep records of who is assigned what IP at a given time. I'm sure that if some serious law enforcement shit went down (like if someone was a serious mass murder suspect) they'd be able to get your identity but for common copyright infringement, there's no easy way for a rights holder to tie a given IP in a torrent swarm to an individual. In a nutshell, you pay $30-40/year for a VPN account and when you feel like doing something you don't want easily tracked (like joining a torrent swarm) you enable the VPN and route all traffic through their servers.
- kobayashi 11y agoSorry, I copied more of your quote than I had meant to. I'm quite familiar with VPNs. I meant to ask how does one find a tracker that one is reasonably sure their bots can't find.
- rudolf0 11y agoBasically "underground" forums and websites. Usually they're invite-only. Google "private tracker".
