Is there any docker containers that pipe all network data through TOR for torrenting? I don't feel like paying for a VPN and I do not care if it takes days for the torrent to complete either.

Don't use Tor for torrenting, it's ridiculously slow, and endpoints are already operating at close to capacity just handling people trying to bypass government firewalls and seething trannies. You'd be damaging the Tor system in exchange for download speeds of like 1.2KB/s, because Tor will bounce your packets all over the internet to anonymise it, when all you really need for torrenting is an endpoint (which is what Tor has really few of, since a large percentage of its use is paedophilia and that's not something a volunteer wants on his ISP access history).
I torrent without a VPN and have for over a decade, it works just fine, nobody's coming after you. If you really care, get a seedbox. That's basically a VPS with enough storage for a handful of torrents and a really good Internet connection in a datacenter in some country that doesn't care about yanks crying over muh intellekshul propety. You tell it to download whatever it is you want, and then you in turn download from it once the file is complete.

I2P (another "dark web" besides tor) has built in torrenting support and its own torrent client.
But only torrents within I2P it seems. I do not know if there's any sort of bridge from I2P to the clear web for torrents.
There are some good sized trackers on I2P, mostly Russian language.

Ive already used TOR for torrenting, it works fine, about an average speed of 2MB/s. I just don't feel like rolling my own Docker container to do the job again. The frail barely functional TOR you're describing about is a talking point from the early 2000s, there is enough end points and nodes that it isn't an issue any longer. I'm not seeding half the world's worth of torrents, I may yank a single movie or tv show about every three to six months and I don't want to deal with the 0.000001% chance of a C&D notice from my ISP. Content is just so bad that I don't feel a seedbox or VPN is a justified expenditure any longer, but I do want to cover my own ass when I yank something once or twice a year.
 
What's a good guide for getting pirated games to work on linux?

Is it like the BBC TV loicense letters where you can just throw it in the trash, or do they actually have the ability to fine you?

Nobody will come for you or anything but in the past ISPs would be a lot more stricter about that sort of thing. In the past several years I've only heard of them cutting you off after an arbitrary amount of violations; ranging from a handful to hundreds.

There's a torrent client called Tribler that does something similar to onion routing to conceal your actual origin. You can daisy chain it through up to three other IP addresses.

I wouldn't swear to its security and they warn that they're not completely resistant to serious attacks by things like LEAs, but it is probably okay against the usual shit-tier copyright troll sending robo-DMCAs.

I don't know, but I don't lose sleep over it.

I've heard of people getting warning letters from ISPs before, but those people are major pirates. I'm talking maxing out a connection hours a day every day. Downloading every film and game they can get their hands on. Even though they never watch or play most of them. Those letters were usually enough to get them to scale it back, or stop outright. I don't know anyone who had it proceed past that.

I think most ISPs only care if you're using an excessive amount of data (a rare thing these days with data caps), and DNS filters on popular pirate sites are enough to keep the casual normies from downloading too much.
 
I've been torrenting vpn free for 16 years and I got my first lSP warning ever like 6 months ago and it was because my girlfriend wanted to watch the ring 2. that's right some shitty horror sequel/remake of a Japanese movie from 20 years ago is the first time in almost the same amount of years I've ever gotten a damn thing and I use like 6 tb a month just downloading and deleting shit when im done with it. I laughed my ass off when I saw what it was for. I used a VPN for a while in the early 2010s because it was free but really most normal people are fine without them I probably run a higher risk than most because of how much data I go through but I think at this point in time you're probably fine as long as you don't acknowledge anything you get unless the ISP is threatening to cut your service or whatever and at that point if that happened I'd just get the cheapest vpn available.
