What a tricksy thieving hobbit you are! /s

You’ll be fine. Stop seeding the thing they don’t like and increase your security—VPN, seedbox, private trackers, etc. If anybody asks, you had an asshole neighbor kid who guessed your WiFi password.

Edit: just realized that you were using a server with Hetzner—Germany is one of the worst places for torrenting. Get a server in a friendlier country for that.

If you still want to seed that exact torrent, at least wipe the trackers. They are 100% connected to the trackers in that torrent to pull IP addresses so they can do this shit.

Next time, use an IP filter list to pre-block these people.

Tamedia are the main reason there. They are lobbying strong.

Not really. The EU is not Germany. Hop on a plane, come here within the EU, nobody cares here.

There’s no need to answer.

Stop whatever it was they detected. Don’t do that any more.

Just do what they asked you to do. Remove the torrents, it’s not like they are threatening legal action. They are actually asking pretty nicely.

In the future, use a VPN.

They can’t tell if you still have the files or not.

I am not saying remove the files, just the torrent (as in stop seeding).
