I’ve been a pretty heavy torrent user for years. I’m not sure when everyone came to the conclusion that VPNs were necessary. If you stick to slightly older media on public trackers and private for really new hype stuff you’re very unlikely to get hit. Plus one letter from your isp isn’t the end of the world and you can always kick on a VPN after your first one.
As long as you have a channel with that person preconfigured and funded right? Otherwise you need to do an on chain transaction with on chain fees to set up that sub one cent transaction.
