    Do you have a major ISP that gives you trouble downloading torrents? (and are you paying for a VPN already if that’s the case?) Do you have low upload speed and therefore contribute little to torrent sharing?

    If yes to any then answer is probably. If you already pay for a VPN then answer is very probably because you can pay a similar price and not need the VPN.

      My ISP doesn’t do anything technical to make torrenting difficult, but I received two DMCA notices before getting a VPN. As for upload speeds, I have gigabit upload and download, so donating a portion of that to seeding (except for when I need it for something else) is not a problem. :)
