Honestly as a German, torrenting seems to be way too risky. Internet providers will immediately cave when they are contacted about an IP adress they control and there are multiple law firms whose only business model seems to be sending out c&d letters.
In Canada, they can send those letters but not much else.
In Germany, those letters come with a fine, which they can sue you over, if you don't pay.
Yikes :( that's brutal. You could use a seedbox and encryption? I think that would mostly circumvent that issue. If storing it locally isn't a concern, then just hosting it on the seedbox and connecting services like Plex to it works as well.
