VPN and you are fine lol. Sometimes you have to pay even for illegal stuff... Nothing's free...
You could use i2p for bittorrent, it is free, slower but secure.
Freaking slow, exactly like Tor imo. The last torified torrenting test was many years ago. Speeds were at 100kb/s. Nope. With double VPN I'm at ~150 Mbit/s during torrent downloading.
And time is more expensive than anything else :)
If more people would torrent over i2p with great internet connections the experience would get better, since all i2p users are part of the network of servers. The slowest connection in the multiple hops decides the connection speed.
Because all traffic is encrypted and doesn't leave the i2p network, forwarding traffic from unknown systems is not an issue, similar to Tor middle nodes (Tor Exit nodes shouldn't be hosted at home).
