  • It doesn’t matter what people on the internet think or what you think, it matters what your partner thinks. When you only get to enjoy it by yourself are you talking about watching or listening to something? If so, and your partner is implacable about piracy, then just treat the cost of buying or renting media the cost of a date night. It’s most likely worth it to enjoy those things together.

    What does your partner dislike about piracy? There’s lots to be weirded out by, the internet culture exposure, often times the quality, the abnormalcy of the experience, the implication that you can’t afford to pay for media, just to name a few.

    Talk to your partner and try to accommodate their concerns instead of asking the internet how to weasel your way past them.





  • I been using torrents since they became a good option a little over twenty years ago. I’ve torrented using public and all manner of private trackers both with and without vpn or tor.

    I have received letters from various ISPs during those years. Here’s what it all boils down to:

    What’s most important: turn off peer exchange and dht, turn on require encryption.

    What’s also important: only use private trackers.

    What’s less important, but good to have: use a vpn with port forwarding with your client bound to its interface. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bind the client to the vpn interface so make sure you do that.

    E: just read through the comments on your native instance that don’t show up to me normally. There’s some old misinformation going around still. I’m not gonna argue or go into great detail but things like only leeching, only using foreign trackers or using someone else’s WiFi don’t do anything to help you avoid some kind of letter.




  • You’re overthinking everything.

    Go to your router, turn on qos. I like the cake aqm built into some of the alternative firmwares. Whatever you have is fine though. Now your internet connection quality/speed doesn’t matter and you’ll still be able to use it while torrenting.

    Get a computer and put some drives in it. Or attach them to it. Use mergerfs and snapraid. Now you have a seedbox/nas in your house. You can use it with Jellyfin. If you’re worried about the power, use a device called a kill-a-watt to get real numbers, look at your bill and do the math or just trust me that it’s not expensive compared to a remote seedbox.

    Subscribe to a vpn service with port forwarding. This is not meant to be super private from the cops, but to obscure your torrenting from the isp/authorities. Windscribe and air are good cheap options.

    E: here’s why:

    If you had a free remote seedbox you’d still need qos to make your internet connection usable while you transfer files torrented on your seedbox into your computer so you can do something with em.

    If you had a free remote seedbox it would have a space limitation and you’d need some kind of mess of drives to plug into your computer or a nas to store all the files you transfer in from your seedbox.

    If you had a free remote seedbox you’d need some kind of a vpn service to obfuscate your connection to the known seedbox provider ip range from the isp and any other people looking.

    So just cut out the middleman. You can’t get a free remote seedbox anyway, they cost money per month. You’re also up against the fact that seedboxes are most commonly used for racing, taking advantage of very high bandwidth, low latency, fast storage datacenter space to get lots of upload and build ratio, not what you’re talking about so all the seedbox services are designed for either that or baby’s first time using qbittorrent.








  • Just look and figure it out. It’s really straightforward name matching. You don’t need someone to spell everything out to you, if you make a mistake just try something different. You can do it!

    OPs_cops_post.html ass post. “Please explicitly tell me what illegal websites these initials refer to!” Guaranteed you are British 100% because only British cops would be stupid enough to do this.

    Ddl is gonna be mainly stuff for poor Europeans who are scared of getting caught sharing files and are relying on the “loophole” of “I never actually shared the file, the file was shared with me and that’s substantively different” (it’s not, they’re just using it as an excuse to haul you in for some other reason or frame you for something).
