I’ve read some reviews/articles that say some of the Free VPN’s out there do not work with torrents… this makes me assume that some DO work with torrents/Hide you from trackers?
What is the best Free VPN, or a good one, for someone who wishes to keep downloading movie torrents from TPB, but wants to stop getting threatening letters from Comcast?
Is a VPN even the best solution? (aside from just stopping the activity altogether)
My answer is to use a VPN known for not logging.
Such as:
My new favorite https://vpnme.com
Or others like:
http://Torguard.net
http://privateinternetaccess.comAnd read the privacy policy and do some research. VPN's like hma are not for torrents.
VPN's are now more important than ever with the six strikes being adopted by U.S. ISP's such as Verizon, and Comcast.
Here is the list of Best P2P and top Torrent VPN Providers that help you to download via torrent and share p2p files anonymously. Now you can Access to any Internet resource without restrictions and bandwidth limitation safe, secure and fast with Torrent VPN accounts.
http://www.virtualprivate-network.com/best-vpn-for-torrents/So how can you trust if a VPN does not log...truth is you cant.
Services like HMA, STRONG, viper, etc all log, if they have your credit card payment on file which as a buisness they have to then thats a form of logging. Best bet is to get a prepaid debit card with cash in the most sketchy place without cameras, then rent a chinese servers which cost like 3 bucks a month. from there you tunnel the traffic through... So no more listening to WOW forums or HAK5 douche bags...You can find a list of all the best VPN services for bittorrent use at The Best Bittorrent VPN Guide
I also personally like HMA (hidemyass pro VPN) [Edit: referral code removed]
Dude,
I like how you recommend a VPN for torrents that LOGS and is in a country with required logging. I also find it interesting that your link includes a referrer code for you to make money off your bad advise.
When I mouse over your HMA link I see /vpn/r9346:9999/ I see where your motives lie.
I on the other hand truly believe in helping people just like others have helped me. So I would point people to a site like VPNme that actually has NO LOGGING and is based in a country without mandatory logging.
Note that there is no referrer code in my link. I am not trying to make money off an affiliate program, or post bad information to make a buck like you.
My Proof before you respond:
Required Logging for the European Union ( where HMA is based ):
HMA Freely turns over logs that can tie a user to their traffic:
So In summary, I would use https://VPNme.com for my torrent and other needs ( as I actually do ) and do the homework on whatever provider you choose.
Oh yeah. Again no referrer in my link!!!! I am just recommending VPNme because I actually use and like them.
[EDIT: links removed]
Hey,
I found a promo code for VPNme online.
The Promo code is: discount55
Makes the service $4.58 a month on the year plan. I just purchased a year with it instead of the monthly plan I was on.
RT
I think it's pretty obvious who is the one doing advertising here. And yes, I did include an affiliate link for HideMyAss, but at least I didn't do it dishonestly. You on the other hand are pretending not to be selling a site for personal gain, but I happen to know you are almost certainly direclty affiliated with (either as owner or employee) of vpnme.com
While I'm sure we all appreciate the fact that the next poster just so happened to have randomly stumbled upon a coupon code for vpnme.com (how convenient) I would like to make things a bit more transparent for all who read this thread....
VPNme.com gets less than 500 visitors per day. They are in no way an established vpn and may possibly not even be an authentic vpn. Their marketing method consists of trolling for high-profile bittorrent articles with open comments, and then blasting whoever the last poster was to recommend another VPN. If you want to check VPNme.com's web traffic for yourself, go to http://www.freewebsitereport.org and type in their domain name. Real VPN providers get 10's of thousands of hits per day.
When I contacted vpnme.com's webmaster (before I saw this comment) they didn't even respond with a professional email, or actual names. I sent them an email to learn more about their service and explore the possibility of reviewing them for my website The Best Bittorrent VPN Guide and their response email was signed 'One of the founders of VPNme.com.' Not even a real name. I'm not sure that's what most vpn's mean when they say they 'take anonymity seriously.'
If you go to my website, you will see that I actually mention the fact that HideMyAss keeps logs, but the commenter didn't even bother to read my review before blasting me. I like HideMyAss because of the functionality and massive array of servers and IP addresses available. It's not secret that they aren't the most anonymous of VPN's (they famously handed over one of the lulzec hackers who mistakenly thought he was anonymous).
So while I urge you to consider all sources to find good information regarding the best vpn choices for bittorrent, I would highly advise all reading this to stay away from vpnme.com until they have established themselves as a real, viable vpn option.
VPN service is not the type of thing where I would want to be an early adopter, and you're likely to be one of the first 100 customers if you sign up. As always, torrent safe!
Here's one:
For VPN, you can try ( http://www.virtualprivate-network.com/hidemyass-vpnreview/ ), which I found to be fast, reliable, and affordable. Cheapest I've found so far, and I'm using it on my iPhone as well to access Facebook, Twitter apps.I don't reallly know how to describe speed, but while connected to vpn, Youtube streaming is also pretty fast. A 3 min video takes about 30 secs to load? I'm able to choose to connect from LA, UK, etc.
finally i feel more confortable during my torrent experience. i am testing one month of use but probably i ll ren2w it for one year. http://vpnpaid.com/hidemyassvpn-review.php
BolehVPN. Not free, but quite affordable. Good speeds usually, never down, can be used for full VPN for all traffic, or tailored to specific programs like uTorrent.
I have been using VPN from Kepard for more than a month. They have a super offer. I had just to create an account through a link which was provided by a friend of mine. So far I'm satisfied with it. In case you get interested just register through this link: http://tinyurl.com/c85uhnu and get 15 days of free VPN, then if you like it just invite another friends of yours and get 30 days of free usage per invite. Just give it a shot. :)
I am using Hotspot Shield Free VPN to hide my ip address and surf anonymously. Its Free. Hotspot Shield VPN conceals your IP address and protects your personal data from hackers, including credit card information, online shopping data, passwords, downloads and instant messages from hackers.
Check it out here: http://www.hotspotshield.com
All very good, but it doesn't protect your torrents (http://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php).
HotspotShield is a piece of *** & it does snif your traffic and drop affiliates cookies ,wich is mean they steal other affiliate commission
stay away from it ....
I Use VPNBook, its free and uses OpenVPN which is more secure
+1 For
With a court order they will share their log info.
F:
Your reply is quite funny, do you seriously think torrent use will warrant a court order fast enough? vpnbook automatically delete their logs every 3 days
next time, read their terms before you post
They dont need to have a subpoena , just an order of preservation. Those can go out immediately. The logs are then preserved for whenever they are able to get the subpoena.
i think the original poster left one great FREE service from his list:
VPNBook
NO software needed to download, no registration required, fast speeds with torrents
You need to consider the log keeping policy of the VPN and the country the company is located in. Also if you live in a country that gives you problems with P2P sharing, then you probably won't want to do any P2P on a local server connection. I doubt any free VPN offers enough speed or bandwidth, so paid is the way to go. I think these are worth taking a look at:
http://www.proxpn.com/
http://www.airvpn.com/Hidemyass and epxressvpn are best VPN for torrent. here you may find top 5 list. http://www.vpnground.com/blog/torrent-vpn/
i have tried fiew vpn that allow to download torrent files
Strong VPN is not that good
there is a website called http://www.vpn-torrent.com wich is allow you to download anything without logs ...
its a bit expansive compared to the other provider but they connection are encrypted with 2048 bit
i think its important to be 100 % be anonymous ...Hello, i have subscribe to http://www.vpn-torrent.com newsletter & i receive a 25 % coupon code but i already paid for a yearly subscription....
you free to use it
ZJG2OW
ProXPN isn't torrent friendly, they have a 3 strike policy then your account is terminated. The speed is good somedays and not so good others.
The free ones suck, try BTGuard
one of best free vpn service is spotflux i use it is very fast and very secure.
spotflux.comand you can try tunnel bear too that is also nice.
Well in my opinion the absolute best solution is to buy the films!
I've used AceVPN and its a great service. Even for torrents.
here is some info: http://www.acevpn.com/knowledge-base/protect-privacy-on-p2p-and-torrents/
You need their Ultimate plan : http://www.acevpn.com/ultimate-vpn-service/
Good luck
the best vpn for any work is AceVpn go here http://www.avevpn.com but its not free and not cost too much.
for torrents its not recommend to use vpn instead use Bit torrent plus which provides inbuilt features of your requirement.
Yes this is true that VPN helps and protect you to hide your online identity while downloading stuff from torrent. However, you can read and select the best VPN provider that helps you download stuff by using torrent. Here it is http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/best-p2p-torrent-vpn-list-of-top-p2p-torrent-vpn-providers/
You can use cactusvpn as they allow Torrents and P2P allowed on their NL server
http://www.cactusvpn.com/premium-vpn/Also they do not store any information except connection logs for troubleshooting.
You can go for a free 1day trail & check urself
You can try PDProxy VPN. They have very fast servers, and even the demo server is fast. They also have torrent servers as well.
Try tunnelbear...
Tunnelbear is great service for anonymous browsing, but I don't think it is suitable for downloading torrent since the free account has bandwidth limit of 500mb per month (well 1GB if you do their tweet promo).
Perry this is what I found out about your problem with Comcast read,
But if you still want to go ahead and try your luck here are two for you, at your own risk!!
and this one too http://www.comodo.com/home/download/download.php?prod=comodounite
I have tried a few VPN provider before and i would say StrongVPN is the most stable to use since they have quite a number of server location worldwide.But the package is quite pricey compared to other VPN provider.
But if you are looking for a cheaper VPN, BolehVPN does the job.Cheap and fast.
You can checkout here for the VPN provider list : http://www.vpnsp.com/best-vpn.html
StrongVPN is not what I'd call torrent friendly.. If your torrents goes under the DMCA copyright shit they may disable your account.
True the only torrent-friendly VPNs worth consider are Private Internet Access, TorGuard and Astrill. Here's my review of these VPNs:
http://greycoder.com/the-best-vpn-services-of-2012/#torrenting
I used to use HMA until I got a clue and decided to use https://VPNme.com as they do not log and therefore can not turn over any logs.
With my basic account they let me have two concurrent sessions so that I can have my home router on protecting everything behind it, and my tablet out using hot spots at the same time.
Unlike many providers, they hav no problem with p2p or rate limits.
Any provider that ratelimits usage, or has bandwidth plans is LOGGING your connect time, IP and usage. This is how they associate usage to your account, and would have logs.
https://VPNme.com does not have any usage based plans as this would require logging.
Everyone that uses a VPN should read their sites privacy policy, and then check out eff.org to see the truth about what countries require logging such as where HMA is based and we have already seen them turn over logs.
Lairdo
Laird,
After seeing your post I switched to https://vpnme.com as well from a uk provider. Thanks for the tip.
Your reply made me think a little an I would like to share some thoughts for everyone.
ANY VPN PROVIDER THAT:
has a bandwidth cap IS LOGGING.
does not accept bitcoin should not be trusted.
does not offer a NAT, or Proxy mode is not protecting you.
wants more than an email, password and payment info for signup should not be trusted.
is based in a country with data retention requirements (such as HMA which is required to log) should not be used, and is why I switched to https://vpnme.com after having my eyes opened.
See for yourself:
Current Status: The EU Data Retention Directive (DRD), adopted by the European Union in 2006, is the most prominent example of a mandatory data retention framework.
Another interesting link:
Choose carefully your VPN provider and where they are based if you want to protect your privacy.
I went with https://vpnme.com/privacy but make your own decisions and just be fully informed. as the old commercial in the US used to say knowledge is power. Or in this thread knowledge is protection.
BSmith
Heck I forgot the best part. switching to https://vpnme.com was CHEAP. they have a xmas special of 3.33 /month on a year plan.
And state on the front page P2P OK, and Unlimited BW.
Bobby,
Thanks for the tip!
I just signed up for https://vpnme.com. I can't believe how fast it is, and that they give you every protocol for the one low price.
Thank you for sharing,
Fred
Hey if anyone cares, I signed up for a Month with https://vpnme.com after seeing this thread as I missed the xmas special. Their service has been fast and reliable for me so far.
I just converted to a year after I found this promo code online for vpnme.com the promo code is discount55 not sure how long it is good for as it is not advertised on their site.
It makes their personal plan with two connections 4.58 monthly.
Just thought I would share after searching online for awhile to find a promo code.
The best (and most anonymous VPN's for bittorrent) are:
Private Internet Access (No logs, $3.33/month)
IBVPN(No logs, $3.08/month)
Torguard(No logs, $4/month)
We are well into the new year and the chances are high that the loyal members of the BitTorrent community have already started to look for the best torrent sites for 2019 in order to get their hands on different content.
The rise in legal actions against many torrent websites can be thought of as one significant reason the list of the top torrent sites might change more frequently than it did a few years ago. Regular users of the BitTorrent network might very well remember how the torrent-giants KickAss and ExtraTorrents went down. There has also been an increasing rise in demand for the VPN services, which unblock torrent sites.
Another factor is the increase in the adoption of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime which might have made a dent in BitTorrent’s popularity after their expansion in more than 100 countries. There are tons of free movie streaming sites as well on the web for free-of-cost entertainment.
Before you start torrenting
You might already know this, but you can read our article on BitTorrent basics to know the basic terminologies and how torrent works. In case, you’re looking for the right gear to download your favorite torrents, check out our list of the best torrent clients.
Beware! Pirated content!
Now, you might be eager to know what are the top torrenting sites you can visit. But before that, you should be aware of some important things. It’s a known fact that most of the torrent sites exist to satisfy people’s lust for piracy (Read more about why people pirate) and to download movies, tv shows, and other things without paying anything.
You might be aware of the fact that indulging in copyright infringement is against the law in many countries and might land people in prison. So, in case you’re looking for something legit, here is our list of 13 best torrent sites for safe and legal torrents.
Protect your privacy
Another important thing to note is you aren’t anonymous when downloading files from the BitTorrent network. Even though the P2P file sharing-based network is highly decentralized, a technically sound person or the internet provider can track a user’s torrenting activity. A workaround to this is using VPN which lets users hide their IP address.
Top 10 Torrent Sites Of 2019
Our list ranks already popular torrent sites by there respective Alexa rank at the time of writing. You can check out our last year’s list using this link.
1. The Pirate Bay
Alexa Rank: 289
Veteran torrent site The Pirate Bay, TPB for short, again leads the 2019’s top torrent sites list while running on its original domain. The popular website wore the crown last year after the complete wipeout of KickAss Torrents.
TPB is already a known name for the diverse collection of the torrents spread across movies, TV shows, games, software, audiobooks, songs, etc. Users access the torrent index via TPB’s simple to use interface which hasn’t changed in years. In fact, there doesn’t seem any need to do so. The VIP/trusted icon feature for uploaders also ensures a safer download.
A reason why TPB ranks on top among the best torrent sites is the abundance of seeds which helps in faster downloading of files. While this torrent website (and others) might be blocked in some countries, using a VPN service like Private Internet Access or ExpressVPN will solve this problem.
Why use TPB?
- Oldest, most reputed torrent site
- VIP/trusted user badge
- Lots of trusted mirrors
2. YTS.ag (YTS.am)
Alexa Rank: 185
YTS.ag is meant especially for those who prefer downloading movie torrents over anything else. The torrent site has shifted to a new domain which has a lower Alexa rank. One thing to note is that the website has no ties with the original YTS/YIFY group, which shut down operations a couple of years ago. Still, the website has managed to get their name on the popularity charts.
Download Torrent Files Movies
YTS is known for its visual appearance. Moving along the line of other torrent indexing sites, the home page now only features a search page. Pirated content mostly fuels YTS but the looks are enough to give a tough competition to some popular streaming services.
Users can easily make content requests and give feedback to the operators of the site. But the same requires a user account and also to make comments on the website.
Why use YTS.ag?
- Efficient search filter with useful filters and sorting options
- Clean layout, easy-to-read description of torrents
3. 1337x.to
![Free vpn to download torrent files windows 7 Free vpn to download torrent files windows 7](https://www.megaleecher.net/sites/default/files/images/05-cyberghost-6-torrent-megatech-keys-giveaway.png)
Alexa Rank: 246
1337x is a torrent site that’s conscious of its visual appearance. Everything from the home page to index page is designed with content placed neatly and aligned properly.
The well-known torrent site hosts torrents in different categories. The torrent also provides a Trending section which lists popular torrents for a day and week. Top 100 torrents lists for different categories can also help the users finding good torrents to download.
Why use 1337x?
- Clean look and feel for listing page
- Also useful for searching older torrents
4. Rarbg.to
Alexa Rank: 328
While its not-so-modern look might not please some users, the website effectively does what it’s meant for, i.e., providing healthy torrent files to the leeches. But users should prepare themselves to see many advertisement tabs when clicking links on the website.
Even with a slight drop in the Alexa rank, Rarbg is still one of the top torrent sites available on the internet.
Other than the regular torrent download categories including Movies, Music, Software, Games, etc. Rarbg also hosts a separate web page to feature trailers of different movies and shows. People might not visit a torrent site for watching trailers. Still, it could be helpful to some.
A user can also go through Rarbg’s Top 10 torrents lists for various categories to get an idea of what other people are downloading from the torrent site.
Why use Rarbg?
- Focus on quality torrents
- Blog section for news from the entertainment industry
5. Torrentz2.eu
Alexa Rank: 525
You might already be knowing that Torrent2.eu is a torrent search engine (here are some more torrent search engines) and indexing website which promotes itself as a clone of the defunct Torrentz. It only does the job of finding the torrents present on other torrent sites. Still, it appears that Torrentz2 could be a worthy inclusion among 2019’s top torrent sites.
Other than using the search box to find torrents, users can also visit the MyTorrentz section where they can take the help of the tag bubble and see verified torrents for different categories.
Why use Torrentz2?
- A metasearch engine with torrents from 90+ sites
- .onion address for evading blocking
- Mirror sites also available
6. EZTV
Alexa Rank: 1,276
You might be well aware of the release group that used to sail their ship on the KickAss Torrents and other top torrent sites. Since the last couple of years, the domain EZTV.ag has managed to keep itself under the top 1000 websites on Alexa.
Torrent Vpn Free Download
EZTV is visited by the internet population interested in downloading TV show torrents. In fact, it’s the only content category one would find on this popular torrent site.
The torrenting site wears nothing much but a basic look with torrent links and other information mentioned in a table form. It also allows visitors to create user accounts where they can save torrents as favorites.
Why use Eztv?
- Countdown List helpful
- Very clean and lightweight site
Users can keep an eye on upcoming torrent uploads through sections called Countdown List. For the content already uploaded, the Calendar section is quite useful.
7. Limetorrents.cc
Alexa Rank: 967
Limtorrents is again on our list of the top 10 torrents sites for 2019. This is another website which hosts torrents in different categories including TV Series, Movies, Games, Applications, and Anime.
It appears quite easy to find a healthy torrent and what makes LimeTorrents one of the best torrent sites is the regular updating of content. The torrent site features separate web pages where it provides updated lists for the top 100 torrents trending the most, and the latest torrents uploaded to the site.
Further, users can create accounts which would be required to upload torrents, provide feedback, bookmark torrents, and exchange messages with other users, etc.
Why use Limetorrents?
- Easy to spot verified torrents with star badge
- Updated list of top 100 and new 100 torrents
8. Zooqle
Alexa Rank: 1,764
The 9th inclusion in our 2019’s list of best torrent sites is Zooqle. It’s a relatively new name in the BitTorrent ecosystem, but it is rising in the success charts pretty quickly. For this rise, the credit is to be given to the steadily increasing number of torrents.
Users can easily navigate and find things using the neat and clean interface of the website which is complemented by the lack of intrusive advertisements. The content on Zooqle is mainly TV Show torrents and Movie torrents, but the popular torrent site also hosts torrents related to software, games, etc., for different device platforms.
Why use Zooqle?
- Tons of useful sub-categories
- Innovative way of listing torrents and providing information
9. Torrents.me
Alexa Rank: 4,936
Torrents.me also does the job of search torrents on other websites. But before you start comparing it with Torrentz2, the website has a lot more to offer than just being a torrent search engine. In fact, Torrents.me harvests data from other sites that search torrents.
To satisfy your torrenting needs, Torrents.me lists numerous torrent sites and separates them into different categories. For instance, users can easily find the best torrent sites for movies by visiting the relevant category page.
Why use Torrents.me?
- Meta torrent search engine with extensive lists of sites and torrents
- Search trends graph for popular queries
10. TorLock.com
Alexa Rank: 5,561
In addition to the Zooqle, TorLock is another name among the limited number of torrent sites which still carry a .com TLD. The operators of the site seem to be working hard to make TorLock share stage with the best torrent sites available.
This well-known torrent site hosts torrents in a variety of categories and enables frequent visitors to maintain their user accounts. Regarding looks, TorLock might not have the best looks you can find. However, it certainly has the edge over many other top torrent sites like The Pirate Bay, RARABG, LimeTorrents, etc.
Why use TorLock?
- Focus on genuine torrents
- Get paid for spotting a fake torrent
Don’t fall for the copycats
Free Vpn To Download Torrent Files Windows 10
If you still think that the torrenting sites Extratorrent and IsoHunt still exist, then you might probably be visiting a copycat website. The two torrent sites are now offline. Similarly, clone websites might exist for KickAss Torrents as well.
So, these were some top torrent sites which might be helpful to BitTorrent users in 2019. We’d love to hear the name your favorite torrent site in the comments.
