Try to understand it's not about reaching some arbitrary upload goal.

It's about speeding up the P2P network.

I love being one of only a few people seeding something. I just wish my internet connection was better so my upload speeds were faster.

"but you're not allowed to love on OUR platform!"

Are they encouraging sharing passwords now? I thought they did a big crackdown on that after being okay with it for years.

Edit: oh I went back and read the date.

They encourage whatever gets them more money.

In 2017 they hadn't saturated market share and were still trying for conversions from people who weren't using their product.

Would be useful for a "This you" moment

Believe me, I'm so full of love these days, my discs are constantly spinning... Because of the love of course.

I don't have thus I don't check Netflix. Anything on there worth the seed?

Netflix-original or available on Netflix

Atypical is pretty good, it's a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.

Sure, the Castlevania Animation for example. "Love, Sex & Robots" also is a great anthology.

haunted hotel is so fun; it just came out last week. it's kinda in the same mold as bobs burgers.

Is there anywhere a noobfriendly explanation HOW TO without getting in trouble? I'm so concerned about legal issues 👀

There are plenty of resources online, but to get started I would go the easy route that I went and use docker.

Look to set up an “arr” stack. Make sure you have it set up gluetun and link to a VPN.

Essentially, you’ll buy a VPN connectio. Ensure this has P2P and Port Forwarding support.

You then set up docker in a way that first connects the vpn. If the vpn doesn’t work then it won’t start the download client like qbittorrent.

If you wait until after work I can share my docker compose file to give you an idea, but honestly if you’re somewhat capable with a keyboard then you can google you’re way to getting set up.

Please don't laugh but I was to scared to google yet XD I guess I kinda thought someone would knock the same minute as I start my research about it

I'd take any advice :)

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I would never lack at someone for not knowing something.

Where are you based? Happy to help you when I have some free time.

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 1 points 4 days ago

But also look into whether your ISP cares or not. Mine doesn't and I've been seeding for years without any problems without any vpn.

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Think about it let like this,

When you open a port on your router you’re allowing inbound connections from the internet to that port via your WAN IP, with a VPN however, that typically does not work since you’re forcing all your traffic through a specific data centre with its own firewall. Most well developed VPN providers will offer Port Forwarding as a feature which usually opens a random port for people to make those inbound connections, you instruct your download client to use the port your VPN provider gives you so that people can leech from you without exposing your WAN IP.

Hope that makes it easier to understand.
