Depends on where you live.

For whatever’s sake specify the country

Nothing. You downloaded a file that is completely legal to download. Downloading a torrent itself however is a different case and depends on where you live, possibly ISP and possibly how often/much you download.

Literally nothing been doing torrent for years without a vpn because i dont find a reason to and if your doing it to hide from the feds they will find you even with a vpn

>torrent file

Nothing.

Downloading *.torrent file =/= connecting to the torrent swarm.

They’re gonna light you on fire

14

Depends on the company a lot of smaller game companies don’t really care enough to send The cease and desist letters or contact Internet providers but most major companies will send letter and usually they are empty threats but they can get your Internet provider to drop service to you

16

If you have to ask you shouldnt be doing it.

17

If you’re in the UK just an email from your internet provider politely asking you to not do it again.

18

Annoying letters from annoying agencies that nobody has heard of

19

They send the swat team. They throw a flash grenade then smoke bomb. You choke and run outside right into their handcuffs

I hope you have this card:
