Metadata hang up copyright violation question (zerobytes.monster)

I use qbittorrent and VPN Unlimited. Seemingly randomly qBit hangs up fetching the metadata, usually when using the torrent friendly channels on VPN Unlimited.

Sometimes I shut VPNU down and am able to get the metadata then restart VPNU and start the download. (Also sometimes the metadata hangs up this way, too. It's very finicky and seemingly without pattern.)

Am I exposed to copyright violation for getting the metadata in this manner?
