In the process of setting up a media server using Unraid instead of just a HDD in my main PC. Seems like seeding regularly may become more viable - is the trick to just stay hooked up to a VPN continuously?
I'd suggest trying usenet first. I found it far more friendly.
Sign up for frugal usenet. Sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, nzbget. Use trash-guides.info to do your set up correctly. No VPN needed since it's over ssl. It's cheaper than a VPN. And if you're torrenting I'd still use a VPN, despite what that other guy says.
I joined PHD but couldn't get my ratio up since there is no one downloading. Like, literally no one in anything besides brand new shit.
You don’t need a VPN for private trackers, the only risk is from IP Trolls, and they don’t have access to the tracker so they can’t see your IP address
How do we know the up trolls can’t find their way into the private trackers somehow? I’ve been using a VPN for seeding all my private tracker stuff because I’m a bit too paranoid about my ip being out there.
They could, but the effort is too high compared to public torrents. So why bother?
Ah, heard. So then once I get my shit together the trick then becomes weaseling my way into a private tracker and maintaining that sweet sweet ratio. Thank you!
Easiest way I’ve found to maintain a ratio is an old shitty laptop connected to storage seeding whatever free leech torrents you can find 24/7
