1. It doesn’t make you anonymous. Torrent protocol wasn’t designed with anonymity in mind and there are a million ways you’re going to leak your actual IP address.
  2. Tor is a TCP only network.
  3. While this doesn’t give you the anonymity you wanted, it will hurt the network for other users.

Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won’t let you browse, because they can’t sell you data for money.

If you enjoy drugs that’s probably the most use you’ll get out of it besides what the other guy said abt using it when vpns are blocked by ur network

If vpns are blocked on the network you are on, tor usually has a way to work.

Same here. Whilst torrent sites themselves are blocked, once you get the magnet link/torrent via a proxy/VPN, there is no issue. I do not think anyone has ever received a cease and desist letter from their ISPs here. But then, I think, this is the case for many countries outside of the developed world.

Canada? Idk the actual legality but I’ve been torrenting bare for nearly two decades and have only received two meaningless warnings from my ISP in that time.

Don’t worry. They’ll reply with their location once the daily power outage is over.
