- Red_Leaves_Flyy 6y agoSo 2 months of Netflix?
- whimsicalism 6y ago> $30/yr so, $2.5/month and you get access to all of the content on netflix, all of the content on hulu, all of the content on amazon prime, etc. > isp doesn't disconnect you for torrenting in places with isp competition, they don't even disconnect you. e: and i'm downvoted because...?
- thesuitonym 6y agoI have no idea why a person would pay for a VPN to trickle torrents when they could pay the same to get usenet and download 1080p movies in a couple of minutes, or 4k in ~10.

I don't know what services you're using, but I can download 4k in sub-10 minutes from my seedbox. My understanding was usenet did not have as many options.
- jrockway 6y agoI don't really watch TV anymore, but when I did my experience was that Usenet was very good for anything English-language (movies, TV shows), but I had to torrent same-day anime releases.
- vangelis 6y agoDon't torrent at home. If you're going to share Linux ISOs (because that's all p2p is good for) pay for a dedicated seedbox. You don't have to worry about cutting into your own bandwidth but for downloading once. It's more expensive, but it's cheaper than Netflix.
- theelous3 6y agoopenvpn on a vps you already run, or some dirt cheap box. If you're buying dvds and cds every year you're more than likely spending more than you would on a vpn setup, or just use safer trackers. You could probably use nothing and any fines you eventually probably won't get would be less than the cost of the hard media anyway.
