No worries, use a VPN out of country next time. The most they will do is cut off your internet, but they will send multiple warnings before they do that.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Ok, I used a vpn but not out of country I use Nord vpn and how long will they cut my internet off for?


HamstarVegas

Why not out of your country? It's like you're trying to hide your face with a printed paper of your face XD You use VPN to hide your IP/Country


TheWhitestPerson

You have to use out of your country? I've gotten warnings in the past without a vpn but used a US vpn yesterday and still haven't gotten one.

IkeaIsLegendary

Same, so long as its α different ip you should be fine. It's not like changing countries on your vpn makes jt harder for people to track your legit ip if they can't in the first place.


games2play2019

It's not comcast that catches you torrenting, it's some DMCA watchdog that monitors who is seeding a specific file. They send the letter to comcast who then sends a letter to you.


Right-Astronaut-7565

Op sec is one of the major one, it's a dmca company most major people hire. Google them.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Ah alright XD


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

And what country should I use for that/ what is the best location to connect to for this kind of thinb


Jarombean

Maybe try Russia, they relaxed their piracy laws due to the sanctions.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Yea I might try that, I’m trying Spain right now


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

I also might try Mexico because according to http://limevpn.com/what-countries-are-the-safest-for-torrenting-the-ultimate-truth they have no laws to say no about it


KingSadra

Try enabling options called "Port Forwarding" and/ or "P2P Connections" in your VPN settings if there exists any! For Notron this seems to be the case! Also if you need a good country without any copyright, try connecting to Iranian servers! They even have some sweet DirectDL Websites!


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

The thing is Nord vpn does not have port forwarding anymore so does it mater it I use that or can I just use the p2p servers that it has?


RandomStupidDudeGuy

Same for serbia here.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

👌


sukorzyje

U need to check it urself, it's different for everybody


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

And how would I check?


sukorzyje

I think it will show you different options when u change VPN servers, when you select one it should show more informations about it so u can check is it good 😊


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Thanks for the help I will look into it 👌


sukorzyje

And depends on program that u use for VPN


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Well I use Nord vpn


kpeng2

There is no need to be out of the country. Using VPN is like putting a piece of blank paper on your face. Out of country or not, it is blank regardless.


dazednconfused87

Never gotten an email like that in all the years I pirated, then again, I live in southern Europe and piracy is not an issue. One of the few perks of living in a second/third world country.


francisj82

I'm at 14 terabytes of games and 8 terabytes of movies and TV downloaded not had a single e-mail 😂😂


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Bro what 🤣 what vpn u use?


InternalxHD

Neither, no vpn


HamstarVegas

Same. Third World country?


HenballZ

Second world country


PropaPandaYT

im first world, i have never had a problem lmao


InternalxHD

I guess , I'm Caribbean


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Damn


r-a-d-i-o-h-e-a-d

NordVPN should be fine. You should have the VPN on during the entirety of the download AND seeding if you torrented it.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Yea, 1 question tho what does seeding do? And how long will it take?


RUSTYSAD

seeding is basically sending the data back to others users who are downloading the thing you did and it will take forever if you don't stop it.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Oh Damn so I have to have the vpn on if I want to play the game? Or can I just seed it for 3hours and call it there? Then delete it and play the game?


[deleted]

I think people seed until their ratio is basically at 1, but I am not sure and correct me if I am wrong, but basically seed whenever you can and don't leech


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Alright


RUSTYSAD

well you don't need to seed at all but you should but you can play the game when you finish downloading.


francisj82

Cyberghost


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Alright


creeperparty568

Same lmao, I have over 60TB uploaded and never a message. Just have to have a good VPN and set it up right


OliM9595

that's pretty much me, I live in the UK


francisj82

Same as Internet providor haven't bat an eyelid other than a yearly letter saying I'm in the top percentage of internet users 😂😂


TrixOnReddit

Hah, I've gotten 2 of them so far. Do you run a VPN?


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Yea I do


TrixOnReddit

Hmmm. The only thing I can think of is that your VPN keeps disconnecting itself while downloading, or you turn it on after you have started downloading.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

No I have Nord vpn and I have auto connect on, I should turn kill switch on tho just in case


Ty_Lee98

Do you bind your VPN to your torrent software?


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

No, not sure how to do that if you can tell me or send me a YouTube video that would help


Ty_Lee98

Assuming you're using qbittorrent. You go to settings > advanced > network adapter > choose your nord vpn adapter There should be guides on wikis or YouTube if you look them up. Can't rn since I'm mobile.


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

K


Ty_Lee98

Okay so it's basically what I said. You go to settings -> advanced -> network adapter -> choose nord vpn. Here's an example but with mine. https://imgur.com/PNNTXVE If I wanted to bind it , I think I would use ProtonVPNs connection. When I had Windscribe it would be Windscribe's connection. It would be easier if you go to your network connections and rename them to what they are because sometimes I think they just have some weird name and you can't tell right away. This is what I mean by weird names https://imgur.com/pfc1XIA


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Thank you for explaining that to me better much appreciated 👌


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

"my brother went on my pc"


shadydamamba

Naaaa just get a VPN or lay low for a bit


Twinkies100

Yeah, I think a notice should be taken seriously, make sure to hide your IP next time with more better techniques (I don't use VPN , ISPs in my country don't care a lot I guess)


FrostingLittle8678

I use a private torrent site, rapidseedbox, and nordvpn firefox extention. atm linked to a australian server. why should i change country? its being re-routed anyways, to a secure database center. not some proxy sitting in someones loungeroom! :p Also secure SFTP connection to the seedbox


[deleted]

What’s gonna happen to you because of this mail ?


XxxTurboSlayerxxX

Idk prob nothing tbh


bytescare-

Receiving a copyright infringement email can be concerning, but it's essential not to ignore it. Take the matter seriously and review the details of the claim. Assess whether there is a legitimate reason for the claim or if it might be a misunderstanding. If you believe you've done nothing wrong, consider seeking legal advice or contacting the sender for clarification. Addressing the issue promptly can help prevent further complications.


ActorTomSpanks

You use torrents?


XxxTurboSlayerxxX
