If you never stop seeding, you never have to worry about it.

Do you have a seed box? I would assume with that many torrents?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and no. I keep a seedbox for convenience, but the vast majority of them are hosted on a home server.

Doesn't it mess with your home internet?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not in any noticeable way. I have a gigabit connection and the server runs over ethernet so it doesn’t clog up the wifi. There is no noticeable difference when I run a speed test on another device with the server turned on vs. turned off. I’ve never gotten an ISP letter either, so it seems I’m doing something right.

Oh won't my fellow thieves please show some decency! LMAO! Don't worry, I don't use P2P, but the high and mighty attitude given the context does tickle me!
