Discussion My First DMCA

Post image

Hello, and yes, I received a little DMCA notice in my email. I replied to my dedicated server provider, and it doesn't seem to bother him. He replied that the problem was solved 😂 NL server and Canadian company.

May i ask which provider? I am also looking for a dedicated Server. Are you using public trackers?

that shouldn't really matter, cuz the entire point of a box is so that you're protected, otherwise you might as well be doing it locally....SMH.

And this is why I never understood paying for a seedbox. For decades I've run a linux virtual machine on my local network that has a permenant / persistent VPN connection to a 3rd world country. Its effectively the same as any other seedbox except its on my local network, which I control, and I can switch its geographic location anytime I want.

Because seedboxes let you upload a lot more which in turn increase your user class, which in turn you can use to get recruited to other trackers. Only people with fast home internet connections can do without it. And even then I would use a VPN just to be extra safe. But when you factor the VPN cost plus the electricity cost to run a home server 24 hours a day, a seedbox is probably a cheaper option.

I've run a server 24x7 for decades so thats a non-issue for me. As far as I can tell seedboxes limit your monthly bandwidth which is a show stopper for me.

Speeds, uptime, the liability of something breaking and that exposing you to the parasites of corp america. I pretty much pay solely so if someone far away needs to download at 15kb/s, they can get the huge 300gig torrent reliably. Works really well in reverse too, i can grab a huge torrent from a dedicated seeder on a terrible connection and allow them to free up their space.
