how to safely download torrents
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2022 7:48 pm
I use hidemyass as my vpn. I notice that sometimes when I'm trying to download a torrent while connected to the vpn it won't download. I then do the following:
I exit from hidemyass thereby exposing my address
I wait a minute or 2 and usually the torrent starts to download
Immediately after the torrent starts downloading I exit QBtorrent
I then restart hidemyass and then restart QBtorrent
this usually seems to work. 2 questions: 1) is this safe and 2) is there a better way?
