    I’ve returned to the high seas, eye patch and all.

    I found a seedbox provider that is fairly cheap and works well. I have a long standing rss feed for new shows so next step is going to be getting it setup to auto download for me. I can do it locally but spectrum is hard core with the dmca notices and I don’t want to risk losing my account.

      Have a look at the **arr range of apps

      Sonarr and Radarr with NZBGet, usenet indexer and a cheap unlimited news server provider, and you’re laughing. I have everything downloading automagically as soon as its release, loads right into Jellyfin - all on a copyright notice keen ISP and never have any issues because im not sharing anything up, its all down with usenet

        I have been looking into this solution, I am concerned on whether it will need a VPN or not. I have one already, but it does not play nice with my current solution.

          The majority of countries, and the uk for sure, its not illegal to download content but it is illegal to upload it / share it. Therefore using usenet is fine to do, legally, without the aid of a VPN as you are merely consuimg and not providing or uploading. I have been doing this for years with zero problem or letter from any of three isps i have been with the in last decade.

              You’re very welcome. I have a newsletter you can subscribe to if you’d like, though i should probably warn you it costs £5 a month and includes some advertising.

          I have all my services set up on a docker container that has a VPN Killswitch, so if the VPN ever drops for any reason my “activity” is disabled automatically until I can notice and fix it.

          It’s all direct download and https from what I understand, so all anyone can see is that you went to the sites, not what you download.

        Or, I could pay the $9/month for a server that has a 10gig connection to the rest of the world and do my part by leaving them seeding for longer than I would otherwise.

          What service offers that and doesn’t mind torrenting? (Legal torrenting ofc, we wouldn’t ever dream of discussing illegal topics here 🏴‍☠️)

            I’m using rapidseedbox.com, they don’t ask for any personal info and I paid with crypto. The lowend plan I’m using is $9/month and doesn’t offer many options aside from sftp access, 3 or 4 torrent apps you can switch between and a couple of other things. The higher end plans offer a shit load more like plex, etc. They will send a dmca notice and then like 12 hours later delete the offending content. I’ve learned that you can just restart the torrent and re-download it and all is well going forward.

            There are a ton of other options out there for seedboxes.

          Would love a seed box recommendation if you have one to share? My new place is off grid so with limited power prefer to offload a 24 hour server elsewhere so I can be a responsible seeder.

      I pay about $300 per year for an IPTV service that provides over 3000 channels which means all the news and sports I can think of. Also on demand TV and movies, and recordings of popular live sports. It allows 2 public IPs so I share this service with my brother. It’s amazing. I’ve used a few different IPTV services that got shutdown and this one is the best. It’s been about 2 years now which is about as long as I’ve seen these services last so I hope it doesn’t get shut down anytime soon.
