Just use a VPN

If you do that in Germany, they'll take you to court and win. You have to pay their legal fees too.

This is a good way to hide, actually. Port forwarding connections are easier to trace long-term. If you make the downloader port forward instead of the uploader, the one who's easily traced is the one who's in less trouble and the real targets stay hidden. But leechers are lazy and won't do that. Some Scene FTPs do this.

So they're giving you a magnet link to child porn? Nice. Sue them.

Private trackers promote seeding, but people don't seed for more reasons than getting caught. Public trackers are leechfests. Some of my public torrents, I have ratio 30 and I'm still the only seeder. Why should I bother with this, if nobody else will? I should put the torrent on a private tracker where other people will help spread it, and stop public seeding.

Most providers have long-term plans for less - like $3/month for 2-3 years. That's still the cost of eating a few meals out. Some of them even have port forwarding. Why spend double the money for less features?

SOCKS5 proxies don't.

I'd prefer not to advertise to peers the IP I'm hosting those on.

Yeah don't be like this guy: http://88.198.43.12/rutorrent4/ (Disk is full. Poor bugger.)

Ironically, this site is captcha-walled...

Useless for torrenting - you'll overload the outproxy.

It's BitTorrent. There are seeders.

I2P has servers to run websites, but they mean I2P itself has no central servers that control it, like Tor does.

I2P router means the I2P software on your computer. You don't have to buy a new router.
