To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don't look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it's just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett's manual search.
but i dont wanna pay for a vpn...
Jackett doesn't require a VPN to use? Unless you mean torrents in general, in which case yeah, you do kinda need a VPN for those if you live in a country that prosecutes torrenting. Fortunately, you can just direct download stuff in that case.
dont most countries not allow it though? something about there being pressure from the country/copy right holder that the product is associated with? so like even if uganda dont care if their citizens all rip the new taylor swift, if they dont enforce then usa or copyright holder is going to be mad and uganda dont want that.
i could be wrong im not sure but i think i read that somewhere. so like essentially its illegal everywhere depending on what content is torrented, which a lot is from usa. and probably south korea lol and i know they have strict copyright laws
Well, no, actually vast majority of countries do not care at all. There are only a few countries like Germany for instance, where you have to use vpn for torrenting
