If you wish to transfer a larger file over the internet, then torrent is your friend. Torrents can be used to transfer heavy files seamlessly over the internet to any location in the world. This is the reason why movies, games TV series are downloaded using torrents. Downloaders can connect their computer to the network to easily download or upload their data onto any computer in the world.
However, piracy remains a major issue while torrenting. This is why many countries and ISPs keep track of the files being transferred over the torrent network. ISPs can send you a cease and desist orders while some countries have provisions relating to a prosecution of such downloader/unloaders. Also, snoopers and hackers can trace back the data to your computer to steal your data.
Thus, it becomes very important to download torrents anonymously. Keep reading to find out how you can download torrents without your ISP or government having an iota of the idea about your activities.
VPN
VPNs are one of the most secure ways to download torrents anonymously. While altering your IP address, VPNs ensure that all your data is kept secured against the prying eyes of snoopers and hackers. By channeling your requests through a secure gateway, VPNs prevent you actual location from being traced back to you. I personally recommend HideMyAss VPN, because of its vast range of servers and protocols.
Just set up a VPN on your device, Windows, Macs, or androids. And start the download. In the case of Macs, please ensure to enable the option to tunnel all your data through VPN. Now, download your favorite TV shows in peace!

This proxy service was designed specifically keeping BitTorrent in mind. The client is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The client can be used by using its default configuration. The users also have the option to tweak the settings and can also set up their own clients to run this service.

Anomos is a multi-platform software for torrent clients to hide their IP addresses and hence download anonymously.

However, the product is power packed with a lot of features to enable torrent download anonymously.
