A few weeks ago, another Steemian said that he would give up on all the streaming services (after all, so many subscription are way too expensive), and instead return to downloading. That is kind of sad, but it is also easy to understand.
But, we all know that downloading illegal content is illegal (how logical), and that is why it is recommended to use a VPN to hide your tracks online while downloading content from torrent sites and so on.
HideMyAss is one of the most famous VPN providers on the market, and during my recent speed test, it also proved to come with great download speeds. But, can I use HideMyAss for torrenting?
HideMyAss and torrenting
I have done some testing, and it is important to know that you can use HideMyAss for torrenting. But, it is also important to know that you cannot use all the HideMyAss servers for torrenting. They have made some special servers that are set aside for P2P activities, which again can be used for download content from Torrent sites.

Once you have signed up, open the application and look for the P2P friendly servers. These can be used for downloading torrents. And if you remember the fact that HideMyAss has good speeds on their servers, they should quickly became a favorite among those who want to anonymously download content from torrent sites online.
HideMyAss and other things it can do for you
Besides using HideMyAss for torrenting, you can also use the provider and their services to unblock TV channels and streaming services online. They might not be the best if you want to unblock as many streaming sites as possible, but they are capable of unblocking TV networks such as ITV and BBC in the UK, and quite a lot of others as well. You can also use HideMyAss to unblock NBC and watch Manifest season 2 and other NBC shows online!
HideMyAss is owned by the company Privax in the UK, meaning that this is a real company and it can be considered a 100% safe service to use. Some might call it too safe, after all, they are located in the EU and some are worried that they store too much information and will be forced to hand it over (if the governments really want some information). However, I don't think that should cause any trouble if all you do is downloading movies from torrent sites, so I wouldn't be worried at all about HideMyAss not being safe enough for such activities.
I hope this article has given you enough answer to your question about whether or not you can use HideMyAss for torrent-activities.
