Torrent is one of the best things that have happened to the internet. With it, people are now able to share and download large chunk of files more quickly. Torrenting platfroms uses peer-to-peer communications to facilitate file sharing. Since multiple users are sharing the information or files, it makes it possible to download the files a lot faster.
The problem with torrenting is that it is usually being tagged for copyright infringement activities. Certain users make use of torrenting in order to pirate copyright materials. Torrenting or P2P file sharing is not illegal in nature. It only becomes illegal if users download illegal media using torrents.

TorGuard Speed and Aftersales Support
TorGuard offers unlimited bandwidth and speeds and fast torrent download performance. We tested speed by downloading torrent files and the test results were amazing. TorGuard not only delivered high speed connections, but it also was able to unblock blocked torrenting sites in the UK such as Bittorrent, Kickass, Piratebay and Torrentz.
TorGuard promises 24/7/365 world class support. We tested out TorGuard’s live chat feature and we got a response in seconds. We’re just not fond of the live chat agents’ “polite and short” answers though. Based on our experience, the agent we spoke with provided us simple but incomplete answers. Response time via ticket support was slow too. It’s also difficult to find the exact information on the website. Our TorGuard customer support experience was OK. Not bad, but not amazing too.
TorGuard Review Conclusion
Anonymous VPN service, this is what TorGuard claims to provide. We never had a single problem with connections while testing the VPN service. The speed was good, support for torrent was great and both the software are a work of art! Except for a mediocre customer support, overall, we’re happy with TorGuard. We recommend it to anyone who is fond of downloading torrents and wants to hide from prying eyes. TorGuard is indeed a reliable anonymous VPN service.
