A Full Guide on Pirating Safely

Piracy is ubiquitous; whether you support it or not, you might have probably pirated some content at a point in your life. Be it your favorite movie, music or a PC game, there are so many great things online that just aren’t available on mainstream platforms.

People use torrents and other sources to download content for many reasons. Popular movie streaming services are still not available in many countries; your favorite film or song may not be available on Spotify and that long lost book is found only in e-format on a random torrent website and you just can’t miss it can you?

When it has become inevitable, this full guide on pirating safely will ensure that you don’t get caught doing it, by taking some precautionary measures.

This article doesn’t intend to promote piracy, but when you really have to do it, avoid the copyright lawyers outright by being safe.

Tweak Settings in Your Torrent Client

Whether you are using BitTorrent or uTorrent, there should be limited security issues. Most torrent clients these days do have the feature to turn on encryption, so that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the government will not be able to identify the type of file you are downloading.

Head to uTorrent’s options menu.
Click on preferences and click Connection.
Turn on proxy privacy settings to hide your identity.

Alternatively, you can also turn on encryption in BitTorrent to stop your ISP from spying into the content you download, even though they can identify that you have downloaded gigabytes of data every month.

Pay for a Reliable VPN

Virtual Private Network services are being offered for the cheapest possible price these days. If you do pirate a lot, using a VPN is the safest and most reliable method to safeguard yourself. You can know more about the most popular services in this detailed article.

The most popular VPN services that are free include Tunnel Bear and Hotspot Shield. Paid versions offered by NordVPN, IPVanish and ExpressVPN offer unlimited downloads and maximum speed while also safeguarding your personal identity.

Join Torrent Communities on Social Media

Reddit is a popular social media website where frequent torrent users have communities where they share direct links for movies, music, games and books. A direct link saves you the time spent clicking hundreds of links and advertisements before you finally identify the right source. It also avoids anyone from tracking your digital footprint if they try to.

That said, you should be mindful of what you’re clicking on—even they come through social media, some links may be malicious in nature. Don’t click on links if the post appears suspicious. Use your best judgement.

Always Download from Reliable Sources

While major torrent websites are already shutdown, there are few that are still alive and kicking. Each website specializes in specific content types and will save you from viruses, malware or the law enforcement because they are keen on masking their identity to survive.

YTS is great for movies and EZTV is popular for their television series. Similarly, Black Box Repack distributes PC game torrents.

For security purposes, you can always run the URLs of these sites through virus-checker engines such as VirusTotal to ensure they’re safe for use.

Use Direct Links

Torrenting by itself isn’t breaking the law and the copyright companies can’t directly sue you for streaming videos. The major flaw in torrents is that in the peer-to-peer network, you become an uploader when you download a file and then share it toother users.

You can avoid it by downloading files directly from websites that use a server setup. Find good ones such as MEGA or Zippyshare to download your files. However, there are usually bandwidth limits and controls on the number of files you could download when you are a free user.

Don’t Seed the Torrent After You Download Files

By default, most torrent clients are set to automatically upload/seed files once you finish downloading them.

While the P2P community encourages sharing a file, you can choose to safeguard yourself by not seeding it, which is the actual crime and istaken into account by law entities. They are more inclined to monitor people who seed a lot, especially old dead torrents as they are considered the source rather than downloaders.

Give Private Torrent Websites a Shot

There are private torrent websites that require you to register or get an invite from an existing member. While they are not easy to find, they are much safer and the hosting client provides additional private security and improved speeds exclusively for their members.

————————————————–

This guide aims to give you a couple of tips on how to pirate safely. Considering the cheap streaming services available now, you can possibly pay for them or share the cost with a friend to do it legally.

When you really do have to pirate, make sure to stick with trusted sources. You should also use a VPN, which will not only save you from the authorities, but also from potential malware attacks done through malicious torrents.

A Tidy Solution for Bug Free Windows

by Dany Michael

A cluttered window is a small but genuinely persistent annoyance. Heavy frames, permanently fixed panels, and screens that never quite sit flush can all chip away at the light coming in and the view going out. When it comes to keeping insects at bay, a great many people quietly wish there were something a little neater available. The good news is that tidy, space conscious solutions have become far more common in recent years. A screen that fits snugly against the window and rolls away the moment it is not required keeps the insects out without cluttering the opening or spoiling the outlook that made the room appealing in the first place. Keeping the window clear For windows in particular, a compact design makes a substantial difference to how a room feels. Roller fly screens for windows tuck neatly into a slim cassette mounted on the frame, so whenever the mesh is not in use the glass is left completely clear. Light floods in exactly as it did before and the view stays entirely open. This is a welcome change from bulkier alternatives that sit permanently across the glass whether they are needed or not. The window carries on working precisely as it always did, with insect protection added only in the moments when the mesh is actually drawn across the opening. Small footprint, big difference Space is at a premium around any window, and a screen that minimises its own presence is worth a great deal more than it might first appear. A neat cassette and slim side guides take up very little room, fitting comfortably even on smaller or awkwardly positioned openings where a bulkier frame simply would not go. Because the mechanism itself is so compact, it rarely interferes with blinds, curtains, or window handles. The screen slots into the existing arrangement rather than forcing a complete rethink of how the window is dressed, which is often the difference between a straightforward installation and an expensive one. Suiting smaller rooms Compact screening genuinely comes into its own in rooms where space is already tight. Bathrooms, box rooms, and kitchens with worktops running right up to the window all benefit from a design that does not project into the room or obstruct the opening when it is in use. In these spaces every centimetre counts. A slim cassette sitting flush with the frame leaves blinds, tiles, and shelving completely undisturbed, which is frequently the difference between a screen that fits comfortably and one that simply cannot be used at all. The same logic applies to windows sitting behind furniture or appliances. Effortless everyday use A tidy screen is only genuinely worthwhile if it is also easy to operate, and these designs are made with that firmly in mind. The mesh pulls across smoothly and retracts at a touch, so using it becomes second nature within a matter of days rather than something anyone has to think about. There is no wrestling with rigid panels, no hunting through a cupboard for the right fitting, and no need to enlist a second pair of hands. The screen is simply ready whenever the window opens and gone again the moment it closes, which is exactly what most people want from something they use daily. Working alongside blinds and curtains One question that comes up regularly is how screening sits alongside existing window dressings, and it is a fair thing to ask. A slim cassette mounted to the outer frame generally leaves plenty of clearance for blinds to raise and lower or for curtains to draw across without catching. It is worth checking the projection of any blind before choosing, particularly with deeper roman or roller blinds that sit further into the room. Where clearance is tight, a screen mounted externally or a slimmer cassette profile usually resolves matters. A quick measurement beforehand avoids an awkward discovery on the day of fitting. A neat finish that lasts Because the cassette becomes a permanent part of the window, the quality of its finish matters more than it would on something removable. Powder coated aluminium in a colour matched to the frame holds its appearance well through years of sun and rain without fading or chalking. The mesh itself benefits from spending most of the year rolled safely away inside that housing. Protected from ultraviolet light and from the worst of the weather, it stays taut and clear for far longer than mesh left permanently stretched across an opening, which is a quiet advantage of the whole design....
