Funds are limited at the moment and i’d rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i’m not in the US, if that changes anything

    Without VPN or Usenet subscription it’s going to be difficult and/or illegal.

        Since most VPNs no longer have port mapping it’s a pure download which would make it technically legal e.g. in Germany.

            Interesting, wasn’t aware. It remains illegal in Germany then, as long as you seed. Notice in Germany you will receive a nastygram in any case as long as you’ve been identified as a member in a swarm, even if you do not seed. It would be interesting if someone would contest that, though you will likely lose since technical details don’t matter in most courts.

        No port mapping, no upload, so technically legal where only sharing is penalized. IANAL.
