Most common questions used to investigate
Are you downloading a copyrighted item, such as a song, a paper, or a movie?
Are you merely seeding movies for the other users and not downloading any item?
Are you using a VPN service to prevent getting caught?
Common conclusions
You can get in trouble and be sued. Downloading anything through a torrent platform is illegal and is subject not just to local sanctions but also to international sanctions as well.

You can still get in trouble and be sued. Privacy laws cannot protect you from getting sued because downloading a legal item illegally is in itself illegal.
