Hello! I have some q’s about torrenting as the title implies. First, I know that torrenting requires a VPN capable of P2P, but i cant afford a vpn with such capabilities. is there any free ones available?

Second, if i end up being able to do so, where should i torrent from? i’ve heard of the pirate bay but honestly that’s it.

Third, what is the best torrent client to use for this?

any help would be appreciated, thank you and good day comrades comrade-doggo

Not who you replied to, but I can guess what they are trying to say:

If you only download new torrents, there is a high chance someone have opened their port, thus allow you to download without open a port.

If you want older / not popular torrent, it’s different story.
