Ah nice. Well I think I just tried when I first set it up, saw it mess up, and figured I needed to rename, I'll give it another try with this batch I upload later.

I will definitely give it a retry then. I mentioned in another comment that I could've sworn it didn't when I first started and that's why I started renaming, but I'll try it again. Thanks!
If I remember correctly, when I first started the server, it was showing the name on the server as the long name with details instead of just the movie name. Although that could have been my fault.
On the seeding side, I've tried seeding the renamed files through the torrent but it seems since the movie names didn't match it would start trying to download again instead of seeding directly. I may try transmission but I likes qbittorrents interface linking to the vpn. Transmission seems to need it typed out while qbittorrent let's you select from a list. I just felt more confident having it selected as opposed to typed out.
It definitely felt like a right of passage lol. Ill be saving that. Might have to put it up on the wall to look back upon in my elder days.
That's exactly how I do it too. Life is expensive so it's hard to give to FOSS. But if the software you use is worth skipping a coffee run, or whatever it is just to give 1 or 2 bucks (yes I know coffee isn't that cheap lol) then that's just as good as giving more. Every little bit helps.
Well spoken. Free is more of a freedom to read, write, and use. Not free of cost. It's amazing that a lot is free of cost but I highly recommend donating to those services you use regularly. Only if you can of course. I know money is tight for many people including myself.

Is the wear and tear a considerable amount over time? Or just something to consider as it does some compared to not seeding 24/7?
Oh dang, well so far it's only a letter they sent to my ISP, in which they relayed that someone on my network was doing it with or without my knowledge.
My ISP has records I can look up the see the original email sent from the person who claimed the copyright. I was like, where did I mess up? They must not have very clear evidence.
Well.. I was dead to rights Lmao. IP, movie name, times, data downloaded, etc. I'm hoping that's the only thing that leaked in that time period and there isn't more just qeueing lol.
But yeah, that's why I wanted to share this post. Some people aren't in countries where this matters, but for those of us that are, stay safe. Learn from others. Im lucky so far but someone may not be and get fined like in your situation.
I used Usenet but honestly I love being able to publicly seed for others. It feels like giving back so it's a risk I'll take over using usenet.
Much love to the community 🏴☠️
I whole heartily agree to a good ole "fuck you"; But I also think that money shouldn't be a requirement but highly encouraged. I'm a hypocrite for this because I don't monetarily support every open source I use. However, for the critical open source I use like 3rd party Android OS, clients for apps like Lemmy, etc. I'm more than happy to donate what I can. Hell, I'd donate to all if I had to resources to. I don't have a good solution but I do think donating (when it can be afforded) should be highly encouraged and something not a lot of people think about/know about/or consider since they may be using it because it's free to begin with.
Kind of seconding this, I can't speak for VPN routers, but i recently had a leak when I thought my kill switch was on and apparently something failed (probably me).
From now on I run both my PCs VPN as well as bind it directly to the torrent client. Same connection, just extra "kill switch" coverage.
Of course it all depends on how you want to do things/does all traffic need to route through a vpn/etc.
