The whatbox.ca plans seem kinda expensive. $15 a month at seedroots.com will get you a 500gb shared box while $15 at feralhosting.com will get you 400gb box with a 500mbit upload.

Mine is out of the US. Better transfer rates from them to me that way.
If you don't want anything pointing back at you, there are a lot of ways to do that, but it'll probably kill your download speed back to your own box. For example, use tor to connect from you to them. Use a pseudo email address to sign up. The only problem is you're going to have to paypal them the funds somehow, and that usually involves identifying yourself, so... yeah.

There are better ways to torrent anonymously.
You can get a VPN from an anonymous VPN company like Private Internet Access (https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/). They charge $40 a year and accept bitcoins. There are more recommended VPN providers here -http://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-pr...iously-111007/.
You can also get a seedbox from gbox.me and pay with bitcoins, too. They charge $7.50 for a 150gb box.
Sure, people can still trace things back to you. I doubt they'd bother, though, considering how much time and effort it would take.

Is there a specific spot to get a nice selection of anime?
also have a few ipt invites if anyone out there needs them.

I highly recommend airvpn. I generally get about half of my connection's download speed and all of its upload speeding using their closest server. Uptime is acceptable.

The Copywrite Alert System ("6 Strikes") goes live today on most major ISPs. If you aren't using a VPN and/or Seedbox it is probably time to start. I have been usingprivateinternetaccess.com$40 a year and painless to install/use. Even when I connect to Switzerland my up/down speeds have a negligible difference.

Just wanted to give my positive review for privateinternetaccess.com too. I have VyprVPN free from Giganews and have been using it, but after reading the VPN review posted above I see that they apparently don't give a shit about actual privacy, so I ponied up the $40 a year for this one. It couldn't be easier to use and works great (so far at least). Highly recommend it so far.
I use bitcommet with the magnet links pulled from thepiratebay. Should I be worried about this or will I be ok? I have never had an issue before but I thought the whole point of the magnet "tech" was that ISPs cant tell the difference between "good" and "bad" data.

I am by no means an expert and I don't really know. That is why I just went ahead and did the VPN because I know that will cover my tracks. I will say I did get a nasty-gram from Comcast way back in the day using magnets from TPB. Downloaded a copy of Starcraft because my disk was too scratched to read in the drive. So if I had to guess I would say that using the magnets won't protect you. You could just wait until you get "strike one" to find out.
I just decided to pay the $40 a year for the VPN because I wasn't sure if I'd use all 6 strikes in one day downloading individual episodes of a TV show. Plus I have other uses for a VPN outside of torrents.

I'm not so worried about this new 6 strike system, most likely just a scare tactic for the majority of people. I used to get emails from Cox and they even shut my service off a few times, but I always got it turned back on. It was only with torrents like brand new movies still in theater, and in most cases you could look into the comments section and people would say it's being tracked and that they received a warning. Just avoid the obvious shit, use private sites, and check the comments for warnings and I wouldn't worry about it.
Got two warning letters for torrenting in the first week using Strong VPN, really obscure stuff too.
StrongVPN keep logs. You shouldn't have been using them in the first place.

Another layer of protection you can do, switch your DNS to Google.

Alternatively, try OpenDNS. Use them anonymously, though:They log your requests.So does Googleto some extent.

I'm currently using IPT for trackers and Whatbox.ca for my seedbox. The question I have is this.. I'm using Kitty to create a SSH tunnel to whatbox as my security for surfing. After my files hit the seedbox I log in with a SFTP connection using Cute FTP to download them to my box. Is this better or worse than a VPN ?
The way I look at it, correct me if I'm wrong here, If all parts are somewhat secure then no peering eyes can view my internet traffic and all should be find and dandy.\
