A VPN will help keep you semi-private for surfing the web. However, when it comes to something like Torrents, someone with a decent amount of knowledge and paycheck would probably not be stopped from finding out who you are.

For using bit torrent or other file sharing in a private, anonymous session, I would use I2P. In fact, they welcome it.

I'm not sure why a lot people put VPN's up on a pedestal. VPN's are useful for other things but I wouldn't rely on them for 100% or even 90% privacy against a foe that _really_ wants to know who you are.

I2P, my friends.
