Hello, i wanted to know to what extent do the ISPs or police pursue torrenting. In the 90's it was acceptable and fairly wide-spread. I am unsure how it looks now.

Hey, fellow pole here. Generally if you get letter letter from isp you have to act like dumb and not respond to letter since you would prove that you did it. I torrented without vpn and I didn’t get letter yet, maybe because it is harder to find my location thanks to being connected to cell tower in Warsaw (I don’t know how exactly my connection to internet outside works but I do know that it isn’t wired and thanks to that it is harder to locate me probably). If you would get letter from isp get yourself a vpn and then bind it to your torrenting client so it wouldn’t work if it would disconnect from vpn. If you don’t understand or want me to explain it in polish, let me know and we will go to dms

You account number is linked to the SIM you use and that is linked to your adress.
