I know this is a dumb question... But i cant really aford a vpn like at all, is it possible to torrent without using a vpn in the USA or will i get in some trouble and go to jail if i torrent without a vpn?

The reason i cant get a vpn is because im just broke and im young enough to live with family so i cant really get a job.

Stick to private trackers, the risk of being caught is dramatically lower (harder to get it, smaller user base, companies target the big public ones)

Most private trackers require seeding seedboxes.

I'm sure OP would find it hard to find an Invite without spending money.

Where are you getting these ideas from? I'm on multiple private trackers and none require a seedbox. They may require a seed ratio, but that's a totally different matter.

Also, some private trackers offer invites from time to time and some provide a way to be invited via an interview. I got into two of them by interviewing.
