Are VPNs still useful for torrenting?
If you are tech savvy and the stuff you want to torrent is somewhat mainstream, I would recommend torrenting over i2p. You should be able to find all the info you need to get started on their website: https://geti2p.net/
i2p is an anonymity network similar to tor, but the implementation allows for torrenting much better than tor. It is worth noting that i2p is not a drop-in replacement for a vpn and you will only be able to access content on the i2p network, however you can easily request that things be added and there will usually be a seeder in a day or two.
