      So you’re saying you have a choice in ISPs? Sounds pretty cool.

        My area has around 3 or 4 competing ISPs. (Canada)

      I think they can also catch you seeding it.

          Is this true? You actually have to seed in order to download?

                  I’ve never tried it either. It would be kind of an asshole thing to do. Torrenting only works because everyone contributes their fair share.

          I’m not aware of any way they can catch you with a VPN.
