Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?

What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?

Find someone in your circle of friends who can give you an invite to a private tracker or use usenet. Also vpns arent necessarily “required”. It will depend on your area and your download setup.

usenet

Doesn't that require a minimum of two paid services?

Depends on your location, your isp, and how patient you can be. There are free providers and indexers.

There are communities for gaining entry into these, I don't know what they are off the top of my head but they exist and I've successfully used them
