Valid, although I prefer the 24/7 seed to infinity method.

Modifying most things (cars, android ROMs, PCs, etc.) It is right now to an extent but it will probably get worse.

Not worrying temps for most stuff. If you have mechanical HDDs you may want to check those specifically.

Been using airvpn for at least a year now (2? Maybe 3, idk…) Wait I checked it’s been about 2 years. OK, anyway yeah they’re my go to recommendation for anyone moderately technical.

You’re right, my bad. They are stealing that amount from each creator, in fact.

Ya know, if you assume each one of those is a person who would otherwise pay $100 a month for all the streaming services, then they are costing the streaming services about $259,200,000,000,000 each year. /s

I use airvpn with an always on server setup, port forwarding, and constant seeding. If you’re okay with manually using a wireguard or openvpn client instead of an airvpn specific client it works great.

Edit Plus, they have a progressive pricing thing that lets you buy a few days for like 2€ just to test stuff.

Eh, I sometimes spin up a temporary docker container for some nonsense on a separate computer. I usually just go for it after checking no one is on and backing up necessary data.

Seeding is worse legally.

Yes, although if you take it from your own streaming or something there may be watermarks to identify you. If you just repost from clearweb torrents you’ll be fine.

Yes.

Or I2p

I typically just copy the title into google with quotes around it. Can also add filetype:pdf.

Edit: Didn’t see title, leaving up anyway.

I’ve got like half a gig down and 20 ish mbps up. I also limit it to less because family and stuff.

Nice. I just got above 2 for my ratio. I don’t have symmetric internet, but I have my torrents set up to never stop, and I don’t delete.

I don’t like that all of the questions are mandatory. For some of them, I just haven’t done enough with whatever it is to have an opinion and would not be able to provide good data.

I don’t pay for piracy, but if I did I’d be glad I could help.

Idk if you tried this, but I run all my stuff on docker and put specific things through gluetun (arrs and qbit).

It’s not how you build a ratio, but helps so much more than seeding the latest Marvel thing. Thank you.

I have a jellyfin+arr+qbit setup. i just tell it to prefer av1. It usually doesn’t get any, but once av1 becomes more common I will probably switch, but I will have to re-download everything as av1 so I can continue seeding.
