ISPs track it and often throttle it, government watches it, movie studio offers fake torrents called honeypots to catch illegal downloaders and anyone with a vested interest keeps a close eye on bit torrent traffic.

TechJunkie does not condone piracy or downloading illegal content. We do not suggest it, recommend it or think you should do it. However we do believe in the freedom of information. So here it is. There is an easy way to use bit torrent without being tracked. The virtual machine is only optional but I highly recommend it. It is a sterile computer with no identifiable data on it that can be used to bit torrent and nothing else.

Should you download malware along with your bit torrent traffic, there is nothing to report as the virtual machine will contain no identifiable data. Plus, should you need to quickly cover your tracks, you can delete the VM instance in seconds and leave no trace whatsoever. This is much faster and more thorough than deleting multiple files on your main computer. That way, you can safely leave your computer downloading while unattended.

Even legitimate bit torrent downloads can be infected with malware so setting a separate Torrent file and scanning it after every completed download is mandatory. This is another place where a virtual machine comes in handy. Were a virus or piece of malware to make it through your scan, it is trapped within the VM and cannot make it to your main computer. Again, bit torrent itself is not illegal.
