ISPs don't spy on users, would violate GDPR.

Long story short: You'd get more money from your ISP than you'd pay to copyright trolls.

Option one: Join private tracker communities, no need for a vpn here. You will find the majority of stuff here anyway, compared to public torrents.

Option two: Get and set up a vpn (preferable with port forwarding) in your bittorrent client. Bind your vpn connection to your network interface in qbittorrents advanced settings option page.

Option three: Use usenet, since there is no upload involved on your side you also need no vpn.

Piracy in Germany is kinda rare, don't expect to find many pirates in your private sphere. However if you find some, chances are they will try to stop your from torrenting and advise file hosters like ddownload or rapidgator. It very common for German pirates, torrenting has a bad reputation due to law firms hunting down pirates.

Don‘t run privileged images! Drop all CAPS, enable no-new-privileged, use non-privileged users only.

Don‘t use two images, just use qbittorrentvpn

I buy BTC on ATMs without KYC (1000 bucks is the KYC limit). Scan your wallet, $$$ in, that's it. Fees are around 8%.

OP wants .srt

Using file hosters instead of Usenet, that's a Paddlin'. Using JD2 instead of PyLoad, that's a Paddlin'. Using a headless version of JD2, that's a Paddlin'. Using an overpriced RPI, that's a Paddlin'.

Nope

We need a way to integrate file hosters, DC++ and Soulseek into our tech stack in order to automate search and download queries.

However h264 rips in Usenet lack in quality from my perspective.

How so, its basically the same content (same releases).

Glad if you can advice on cheaper solutions.

You are right the prices of usenet providers went up everywhere, but you still can get Frugal for $40 a year. That's an unlimited subscription of course, unlike file hosters.

And good private trackers!

See here to start

Are you mixing up uploaders and release crews?

Only for NFLX for the last decade or so, I would had cancelled that subscription years ago, but the guys I share my account with insist in keeping that Netflix account.

I have absolutely no idea why. I haven't watched Netflix in years myself. Well I pay 10 bucks a month for Netflix and the other guys are paying me 12 bucks a month, so this useless subscription costs me -2 bucks every month.

For me pirating is more convenient than watching the very same stuff on Netflix, especially since Netflix stopped working on some of my devices...
