I know this doesn't answer your question but I've never had this kind of problem with Usenet. I pay $35 USD a year and bought a couple "lifetime" memberships 6 years ago.
What others have said should help solve the problem with torrents. If you can, it might be worth getting an account with a private site.
In my case, 10+years ago I had 6 * 3tb Seagate disks in a software raid 5. Two of them failed and it took me days to force it back into the raid and get some of the data off. Now I use WD and raid 6.
I read 3 or 4 years ago that it was just the 3tb reds I used had a high failure rate but I'm still only buying WDs
I want to call out one thing in case you didn't know.
The idea of a public VPN is to hide your traffic with other users who also use the VPN. If you're renting a VPS you don't get all the "benefits" of a public VPN. All you're doing is adding an extra hop to the internet, you're not mixing your traffic with others using the same IP. It's all you.... In fact, you're probably making it easier to isolate the things you do online because at home you could say a guest you had over must have downloaded it. If its the VPS, its all you.
If they ever use biometrics for this, mine are for sale. Cheap.... I'd like to know what happens when I can't use who I am as my ID because it's public.
Our AC ran from 9:30am yesterday morning until it was able to catch up to the set temp at about 1:50am. Seems like it has already started again today. 2 years ago we didn't have one, I'll never go back.
