Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.

Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You'll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.

I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.

Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I'm sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

A good VPN won't have any details to hand over that will convict you, even if they wanted to (e.g. mullvad), so they most definitely are enough.

And police are not going after citizens, rights holders are (like they always have been) by suing ISPs in hopes of getting your info.

What in don't like about I2P, is being a node for other peoples traffic.

VPNs log your IP. And Mullvad doesn't allow port-forwarding, which means you can't seed.

Being a node for traffic doesn't mean it can be linked to your identity, because everything is encrypted and metadata is scrambled. TOR node operators take much greater risks because depending on how they have set it up, it can lead to their identity being compromised. It's a small chance but it can happen.

I can't convince you. I only hope that people start seeing the need for it and begin reading the documentation to see its strengths

I use Mulvad, and seeding seems to work for me. Am I missing something?

and seeding seems to work for me.

You can only seed to people who have ports open. At least one side of the connection needs to be reachable.

It's people like me who keep ports available that are able to seed to you.

That shouldn't be possible in theory unless I don't know it well enough. Care to provide a screenshot?
