I heard that in some countries you can get fined for using torrents or seeding beyond a certain limit (Das Deutschlandlied intensifies). How to seed so that no idiot government would get hands on the fact that you are downloading torrents? I am pretty sure I can do this using Tails OS but what else? Is there a safe way to SEED TILL YOU BLEED?

It would have been nice if we (someone but not me) could have created a website where we could read a particular country's law and how to torrent safely from there.

There's usually some settings you need to change on your torrent tool, like disarming different, DHT, etc - the sure usually has instructions for beginners.

Not at all required. The client sees a private torrent and does all that automatically.

Must be a legacy thing. All the tracker guides instructed users to turn all that off.
