Regular users in Sweden are in danger because a corporation needs to fill their pockets. Studios are suing your ISPs to get to you.
Use I2P. It will hide your IP address (among the many things it can do), afford you more privacy and allow you to torrent freely, even without a VPN/seedbox. The catch? You’ll have to add the I2P trackers to your torrent.
I believe I2P is the way forward for piracy and I look forward to it getting bigger than it already is.
Ok well the ECO boxes don’t really work as a seedbox, as they’re highly limited in bandwidth. Even if I don’t download anything, I still seed the torrent for others to download it. That’s the main purpose of a seedbox I guess. Since your ECO box only really acts as a downloader anyway, wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to just get a VPN for downloading torrents, or a service like RealDebrid?
I do seed stuff (I downloaded a TV show of around 40GB last month and I’ve been seeding it since). It just keeps seeding at full speed till the time they throttle my bandwidth. Last I checked I was over 7 in ratio for that thing, but whatever. It works out because I don’t leech much
I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn’t mind public torrents (I’ll pay through XMR). This seems like a much better idea since my needs have diversified and I’d like everything together on one machine to save costs. There’s other ways to use your seedbox too (without root access) and seed stuff that people really need/are deprived of (vague description on purpose).
There aren’t many providers where this is the case, that’s why I’m looking into getting a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider. Some have them, e.g. RapidSeedbox and seedhost.eu. RapidSeedbox dedicated servers are really expensive though.
Just find an unit with unmetered bandwidth, why do you need dedi?
This was actually meant as a suggestion for you, since you mentioned that you want to put all of your stuff, including the seedbox, onto one single cloud server (hosted by a provider that allows this), so I recommended to just get a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider.
Well, you’re right. If the provider I have in mind evaporates one day I’ll probably have to do that.
Is there any reason why you can’t name the provider you have in mind? Perhaps in a DM? I’m just curious ;)
If I say it here I might dox myself. I’d like for it to be a PGP conversation but I’m not quite there yet either (due to personal reasons). Sorry
Would Matrix be fine? You can find my user name in my profile.
