It appears to have a 10 GB limit per month, which is so low that it would essentially be useless for most common torrenting purposes I can think of.
Ebooks, audiobooks, music, could all work in that realm
How often would you be forced into torrenting those mediums and how great is the risk? E-books do not need to be torrented as there are plenty of alternative ways to access them (including legal methods such as libraries). Audiobooks potentially do, but AFAIK are not prosecuted to the same extent as films and TV or video games. It can definitely be convenient to torrent music and it is a riskier medium than e-books or audiobooks, but similar to e-books there are plenty of alternatives to torrenting. I just don't see why you would bother signing up for a free VPN if that's the stuff you're after.
