A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

VPN's solve this problem completely. This law firm looks at the IP's of seeders and if they are german they request the personal details from the respective ISP.

If it's an IP of a (reputable) VPN they don't achieve anything and if it's not a german IP they can't do anything anyway.

They mostly go for the easy targets since that's their easy business.
