So stop downloading from public trackers. Get into private trackers.

I meant it more as a general thing - I should have said “we” instead.
They actually seem pretty chill about it here in New Zealand. My dad and I had one ISP notice in the early 2000s, but I’ve downloaded absolutely shitloads since and we haven’t heard a peep.
Nowadays I tend to use Usenet anyway; the speed of even the healthiest torrents pales in comparison.

Again, private trackers. =) I can easily saturate the 2.5Gbps ethernet port on my work PC. Haven't tried pushing the full 10gig link yet, don't want to draw attention to myself since it's only supposed to be 2. It would have no problem though. Private torrents are seeded by seedboxes typically. And torrent longevity on private trackers beats usenet longevity, because some people never stop seeding.

the point still stands. they are allowed, we are not, and we need to hide doing it.
