A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they're all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me...

I raw dog my torrents with no VPN

Can someone tell me the actual risks involved? I always thought it was so you didn't get your ISP up your ass and shut you off, my power company is my ISP and they don't give a shit

What really am I risking here?
