I wrote this post for a friend, I’m sharing it here for anybody it might help. I got asked multiple times how I download cracked music software so I figured it’d be easier to write it down once. It’s meant for people with very low technical skills who just want to start torrenting software without major risks, and it includes a bunch of safety tips that are already known in this community.

If you have feedback, let me know and I’ll update the post.

      I’ve scored out that part of the comment now.

      I was under the impression that you couldn’t seed without port forwarding, guess I was wrong :p

        @Deletecat it’s not necessary on a VPN level when your router has port forwarding configured properly. App tunnel splitting can be used to dox your IP but allows the DHT table and trackers to “find” you, then just disable it to hide your IP. Simple, but not recommended.
