you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs)
and without using any of those proxy services, the lawyers get rich on my money, not the artists either
i personally use a provider for that. i just download torrents to their cloud and get it at maximum speed from there. so I don't have to worry about p2p risks or being online a lot.
I'm with premiumize, but there are others I guess.
I only use those as a tourist, but the plugs tend to fall out of the outlet constantly, especially if the plug is not just on a wire but has some usb-c adapter or such integrated.
it was 64 people.
edit: and also, even 29 or something like this is a lot, assuming that they are selected kind of randomly and not all belong to the same social group etc. If only 3 showed a reaction like described, sure. We need more data. but with a hitrate of 100%, what do you expect to happen if you 10x the number?
