Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

There's a lot of equations that go into this.

• Where are you located? A lot of countries don't enforce laws - Switzerland, Poland, and Spain even permit torrenting for personal use. Third world countries are usually pretty safe.
• What internet are you using? If you're on your own WiFi at home, a VPN is mandatory if you don't want nasty letters. But if you're doing it on, say, Macca's WiFi, you'll be fine. Bit of a dick move if a lot of other people are using the internet, though. It's also worth noting that some internet providers not only prohibit it, but also detect any BitTorrent usage.
• What are you torrenting? More obscure torrents are less likely to have bots scanning for IPs.
• Are you seeding? Seeding and/or uploading torrents without a VPN is insanely risky, because not only does it expose your IP for longer, you're also committing the crime of sharing copyrighted content (which is prosecuted far more often than merely downloading), so unless it's a torrent that's close to dying, your best bet would be to leech and run.

It's also worth noting that there are ways to download from torrents without even having to run a client.

It really depends on your country and ISP.

I've never used a VPN, except I guess for work, and never heard boo out of anyone over where I chose to park my ship

I let me VPN lapse a day and my ISP reported 11 takedowns. They warned me (because they don't want to lose a customer). Blocklists aren't good enough anymore.

I use a private tracker and never get any mentions from my ISP because the studios aren't on the private trackers to search for IPs because they don't get invited and also would get banned for not seeding.

I made the mistake of using a public tracker to download something I couldn't find on my private tracker and got forwarded a DMCA notice the next day by my ISP.

Cloud Torrenting. Go to TG and Find some free leech group. If you want list then PM me.

Private trackers.

In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I'm pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don't seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I'm a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can't get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you'll be fine.

I'd do it via a seedbox. This way you won't run into ip leaks.

Depends on the country, in Russia I have been pirating without a VPN for over a year without problems.

No. Not unless you want a nasty-gram from your ISP.

Fastvpn is almost 1$ a month if you are a new customer

third world? yes. Europe or US? no

To answer your question in short , is it safely possible? No.

From your replies it seems your ISP is active against piracy. If budget is tight I recommend, use seedr.cc it gives you 2gb free and it torrents on your behalf, so you're legally safe. Also you can extend seedr.cc to 4gb as WELL without paying. Dm me if you want to know how.

I know it's not enough for big games and stuff, but most TV shows and movies you can find decent 1080p rips within that.

Anything else will require some investment/cost.

Look for news in your country about people getting into bad situations for this. Ask in local forums etc

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard that using a good private tracker is safe without a vpn

Not if you're pirating stuff.
