I torrented several movies without a VPN because I have zero access to one and according to some 5yr old reddit posts, my country doesn´t care at all about cpyright infringement for personal use and close to zero people have gotten in trouble for torrenting. However, today I load my computer and the performance is just terrible. Like, videogames and other apps like handbrake run fine, but chrome, edge and discord run just awful. They freeze all the time, I get disconnected every 3 minutes from discord calls, cannot hear anything from a call if I switch to another tab, and when a browser freezes, most of the time so does the entire pc. What could be happening? I already restarted my computer.
