Hey there, dear community, I migrated here from reddit. I wanted to dabble in piracy (Udemy and Art-Courses) for a while, but never knew how to start + a VPN is quite pricey if I don‘t use it/ use it incorrectly.

I wanted to know if there are „beginner tutorials“ for MacOS (I‘m even new in this OS).

I read the Megathread and it was kinda helpful for me not to barge in blindly, but I‘m the kind of person who needs a little handholding

For VPN, I use mullvad which is quite reasonable in pricing and is quite good with speeds and such as well as privacy concerns.

Back when I used OS X for torrents I used an app called Transmission. Not sure if it still exists or if there are better alternatives these days. (Edit: transmission app's website)

I can’t help when it comes to courses tho, you just need to find a torrent site like torrentleech or ipt or whatever that has the content you’re looking for.

I say learn about torrents first, don’t bother talking about what you want to torrent. Once you have a working understanding then go in search of the niche content you’re talking about here.

Feel free to ask me any torrent related questions
