Never had any issues with the private tracker I’m in or got any letter from my ISP. I definitely don’t pay for a vpn. I could always use my rented vps(seedbox) as a vpn if i absolutely needed or wanted to.

First, torrenting isn’t illegal, and No ISP “enforces no torrenting” lol
Your understanding of the solution here is a snake eating its own tail. Might wanna think on that one bud. Did the chicken or the egg come first? Solid Ratio or the private tracker account? Figure out how private trackers work first, then come correct.
The real answer here is that there are intro private trackers one can join on an invite or free join days. If one desires, one then works on their ratio there to get into a better private tracker.
Copyright holder’s pay people to take snapshots of all the IP addresses currently leeching or seeding specific material on public trackers, so they can contact the ISP with the info and request they do something about it.
When i try to explain my jellyfin/Arr setup to coworkers that ask “what site do i use to watch shows for free” it just goes right over their head or they stop listening. Even in reductionist terms. If its more work than going to a special website, searching and hitting play, they just aren’t interested.
Get into a private tracker, or rent a VPS in a country that doesn’t bend to the whim of capitalism, torrent to that vps and stream or sync it locally. I find that to have more peace of mind than using a vpn w/Killswitch.
Get into a Private tracker. Or You could rent a vps in a country that doesn’t care, torrent to that server and stream or sync it locally. You would never be torrenting on your local connection.
Ive used Ultra cc for maybe 7-8 months straight now and have a ratio of 40on my private tracker. 7+tb upload with the ultra service alone. Got a little over 100 seeding 24/7I was strategic in the beginning, only going for popular freeleech stuff. Packs are very popular. Ive seeded a ton of a cartoon pack I got for nostalgia, and it wasnt even a fresh upload when i grabbed it.
Edit, also im not using a vpn, for anything. Ultra cc’s service can be used as a vpn tunnel. But since my host is in the Netherlands racks it doesn’t need a vpn for public trackers, and i dont need a vpn to stream from the seedbox.
No GUI power settings? You mean like this menu https://jeroenverhoeckx.com/gnome-power-settings.html You mentioned alot of Distros but didn’t mention a single Linux Desktop Experience. Gnome/KDE could easily compete with Windows Desktop .
Eh paying for debrid(paying for access to pirated content) goes against being a pirate, not streaming. I pay for a seedbox and torrent/stream all my content. Its beautifully automated and worth the $20 a month for the online storage. Dont have to use a vpn, and i can easily download anything from the seedbox locally
A Seedbox running jellyfin and an *Arr stack running on torrents work much better for this than streamio. It’s like having a pirate dvr. Notifications goto my private discord channel when content is added or applications need updating, and i just open Jellyfin on my android tv box(or literally any smart device) to stream my downloaded content. I tell people its like having my own Netflix server.
I live in the states and exclusively use torrents/private trackers 😂 seeding over 100 as we type (however they arent seeding from the states). There’s no valid reason to use debrid or streamio imho, its pretty crap software.
Haha yeah fuck debrid an fuck streamio too 😂 checked it out once and it pales in comparison to an Arr stacked seedbox.
Thank you. I swear some people must be exhausted with all the mental gymnastics they do for self justification.
Lol what have you got against images in posts/comments? 😆 Take your silly hangups back to lemmy world
Yeah well no shit, it’s a meme from an old 80s movie that has probably seen multiple levels of compression. Yet somehow it still got my point across, despite your keen observation.
They can be. It’s really down to user preference. You can setup your own server locally with containers and vpn Killswitches, or you can pay monthly on some server space remotely. A seedbox is basically just a server for seeding/torrenting.
I use syncthing for my emulator savestates between retroarch on my deck and retroarch on my android tv(no steam client or steam cloud sync for android or android tv), no matter where i decide to play I always have my most recent save. It also has versioning so i can go back to older versions of saves. I use a virtual private server(or seedbox) running syncthing as the in-between cloud host.
I wrote up a guide on how to do it in the Steam Retroarch community guides. It shouldn’t be much different for PC game saves, just choosing a different folder, specifically the one with your chosen files.
IP alone isnt enough to convict someone in the states though. Since it only points to the local network and not the person on the network it could be anyone on that network. It was the issue the RIAA ran into when trying to take music downloaders to court.
Precisely but it doesn’t have to be remote. Some people self host locally but that requires a fast connection and a vpn. Most remote seedbox’s are basically virtual private servers. They usually have apps like Jellyfin or plex for streaming all your content locally. Which is what I do and it’s very automated and convenient. You can also use your seedbox as a vpn tunnel. If you’re a member or interested in private torrent trackers, a seedbox is recommended to help keep your ratio high.
No you’re just not understanding. Torrent is a web protocol, like http, ftp, and more. It’s not inherently illegal.
When you’re downloading you spend less time on the public tracker and have less chance of being caught downloading than if you’re seeding, or uploading. In the states, the copyright holder takes snapshots of the public trackers IP address pool for specific torrents of their intellectual property, and requests your ISP send you a notice and threaten disconnection.
