A VPN will decrease your chances of being caught anywhere. Here's a list of VPNs that will protect you from copyright trolls (https://torrentfreak.com/which-vpn-servi...on-140315/)

it depends on what you are downloading: if you are downloading copyrighted material, then yeah, it's illegal.

the odds of you getting in trouble are low but not impossible... you live in a country with some horrible, and dangerous creatures; if they start sending you letters in which demands for money or restitution are made, just ignore them.
