I am into torrenting movies- alas no money to get a VPN, What else can I do? I don’t really need a VPN because I live in a third world country and I don’t get no lettters if I sail the seas, I was searching for any other ways to hide my IP address from the swarm, without loosing much speed?

I came across this Tribler client, I don’t know if its good, Should I try Socks5 proxy or something like that?

Or tell me if the only good method is using a VPN, in that case I should wait out a couple years until I make money and remote torrent by making like 15 accounts in TorBox.

I will apologize, if I said something stupid in advance because I severly lack any knowledge in what I am talking about.

    You can usually uncheck one .txt file from the content so it doesn’t download and the torrent will stay at 99%.

      That doesn’t prevent your client from uploading, your client seeds while it is downloading. It will still complete and do the same thing anyway, every client I know of will show as completed when all the requested content is downloaded.

        I would think it only says complete on your client-side because not everyone should know everything you are requesting at once. It will still be seeding obviously but it’s just a low effort way in case the people looking for a list of seeders use low effort too.
