How viable is torrenting on a public connection? (slrpnk.net)

My options for internet connectivity are very limited. I was wondering if I could go to a library or coffee shop or wherever has a good connection and do all my downloading remotely, or if I will run into problems/restrictions.

I'm thinking they may not allow VPN's or something like that?

That completely depends where you go. Some places will block it, others won't. My company allows VPN connections but limits them to such extremely low bandwidth connections that it's unusable. Others will straight up block it.

I wouldn't recommend using any public connections without a secure connection.
