I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
I’ve personally found it better to pay for a seedbox and connect to it via encrypted FTP than to worry about VPNs and downloading torrents locally. I share the cost between a couple of friends and we all access the seedbox and download/stream what we need from it. I don’t have to worry about keeping my computer running either.
So my question is, whose name is on the seedbox? I’ve seen people say this…is it one of the special hosts that will just send you a notice and not tell the complaint filer who you are? Connecting to a VPN or proxy has been easy enough and cheaper lol.
I havent used one, but thats what it seems like to me. someone sets up a server in a country that doesn’t care about dmca, and you pay for them to download torrents and handle the encryption, etc.
Personally I switched away from a seedbox to a VPN, but only after building up a stupid ratio on several trackers. It’s annoying to manage two copies of everything, you have to download everything twice, and drive space on seedboxes is expensive.
How big is your seedbox that you split it with friends? I have a seedbox with 4 TB and it’s like $17/month. That’s a lot of content…
