Which won’t stop someone from detecting that you torrented it. Without a VPN, your IP is openly visible to anyone else is joins the torrent. And since there’s no way to fully throttle seeding, (at least not without actively wrecking your leeching speeds), closing the client after the torrent completes won’t make a difference. They’ll already have your IP logged, and will be able to send angry letters to your ISP.
I've never gotten one leeching, it's when I let it seed for a day or 2. I've got fiber so it's pretty fast
Sharing it is the catch in USA at least.
