Anyone who can should backup their favorite channels with yt-dlp while you can. Don’t forget to embed the subtitles and metadata. I intend to put up torrents soon and others should as well. If you wish to support the original channel put document with links to patreon or whatever that creator uses.

I wouldn’t say forced. Most of them would pick the cheapest firm they can find in India that’ll open up more holes than they fix

Don’t fumble this loops. Now is the moment.

Tor is not for torrents, they have documentation specifically warning against it as it hurts the network and your anonymity. Tor is TCP based. You’re looking for i2p which handles UDP, has its own torrents and integrates with torrent clients. https://geti2p.net/

Other providers who know what they’re doing include cryptostorm.is, PIA, and ipredator.se

Or make your own with a VPS with openvpn or witeguard
