Reading this as someone who torrents debian ISOs instead of directly downloading then in the hopes of reducing server load, while at the same time, not torrenting any pirated stuff.

But well, I was born a wee bit before 2000

I know how to torrent but choose to use one click hosters instead since they are safer to use here and I dont want to pay for a vpn. People who get fines here are people who torrent because they want to bust seeders since they are redistributing

I must say it felt weird when I had the first of my staff with a 2000 birthdate, that young falla is now an assistant regional branch manager

needing a paid vpn to torrent without getting spooky ISP notices is a pretty big barrier for me tbh :|

Use a p2p block list in your torrent client. Once I started using that the emails stopped.

I use: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/

But there are probably others
