I just got a notice from comcast stating that my IP has has several recent complaints of downloading copywrited material. I would rather ask you professionals in here for advice rather than spending lots of time to research the subject which i dont have time for.
How can i protect myself from detection?
Where do you recommend i get it from?
Please be descriptive so i can understand.
I really do thank you for your opinion as it has much value to me.
 
I'm definitely not an expert with regards to this, but I'll share what I know.

I use a VPN called Private Internet Access.

So, how does a VPN work?

As far as I understand it - and I may be wrong...

Your ISP will still provide you with an internet connection and then the VPN will encrypt this connection making sure the ISP cannot see what you are downloading, therefore solving your problem.

I'm sure somebody who knows more will reply shortly.
 
ExpressVPN apparently doesn't keep records: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a-good-reason-to-use-expressvpn.997394/. Try that.

My ISP applies selective throttling when i hit my monthly data allowance. Most of the traffic stays unmetered, but they limit the torrent download speed to 15 kb/s. No matter which VPN i use, they can still tell that it's torrent traffic, so it stays limited. The funny thing is that when i configure a https proxy within uTorrent, the download limit vanishes. From the looks it for some reason https proxies appear to provide stronger encryption than any VPN. The only downside with https proxies is that you can't use udp trackers (which is the case with magnet links), you need http trackers, so you need to download actual .torrent files or you need to convert the udp trackers to http ones, which is quite the hassle.

I went with NordVPN. Cant beat the price, company located in Panama, and they dont keep records. I paid $99 for 3 years...
