There are already several posts on this topic, but I wanted to have a more up to date answer. The secure wifi uses my personal school account to sign in so that might not be the best idea, however the guest wifi is open to everyone so that may be a better idea. I also know to use a VPN and bind my torrenting client to the VPN. Anything else I should know? Or is the entire idea dead in the water? I’ve pirated before but never with several thousand dollars on the line…
If you want to buy a little insurance for your self look into getting a seed box. Then you can download from the seed box with a VPN over sftp. I would think that would be pretty hard to determine what you’re doing but I don’t know enough about it to speak confidently one way or the other.
