And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…
It’s good to give back to the community.
EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…

I’m Detective John Madden with the NFL, you’re under investigation.
This seems more appropriate.

A Raspberry Pi with an USB drive should use no more than 20W of power, if you want to further your endeavors.
Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I’d say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".

Shit, this guys good!
But Linux ISOs are copyrighted. The rights belong to all contributors who created them, and licensed them under terms which allow anyone to redistribute them for free.
Thats far too many big words, just tell me who’s dog to shoot.
Damn. 641 is gunning for a promotion
But who is dog
scientific research papers
When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead
First of all, thank you very much for your service.
Secondly, you’re crazy lmao
How does your ISP not molotov your house for this lol
I don’t know about your country, but in mine the download and upload of home connections are both unlimited
I might dislike my natal country for many aspects (Mexico) but oh boy, it’s unlimited home Internet connection and 0 fucks given about torrentig aren’t certainly those.
Are you talking about speed or the amount of data you can transfer? If the speed is unlimited then oh boy, gonna move to Mexico :)
I meant uncapped yeah, speeds are average, but se can get decent fiber amounts.
Vpn
That doesn’t change the fact that there’s suddenly an extra terabyte being uploaded through their pipes.
So what he pays them for the data and they can’t see if he is doing anything illegal. Just because i am curious did you really expect them to molatile him/her. Two or three games with teir dlc is about or over 1 tb anyways.
Downloading, yeah. Uploading, no. Most ‘normal’ folks aren’t uploading terabytes of data.
People work from home using vpns. That’s usually what they assume you’re using it for. That or a home business.
I’m in this group. I happen to do CAD modeling and have to regularly sync 10GB+ models over WAN, so large spikes or even constant uploading streams are not unusual for me.
Right, I’m not disagreeing with you there. Shit, I use a VPN for work as well. I’m not uploading terabytes of data. Downloading, maybe, but I’m not running any servers at home.
All I’m saying is that using that much upload bandwidth, regardless of what’s being uploading, might throw up some red flags at OP’s ISP. They might force OP onto a business plan.
Oh yeah, for sure. Does any ISP have unlimited upload though? I used to work for one. You’d have to go to business regardless because of the cap, from my experience.
Edit: wooooooh nevermind, I didn’t even know other ISP’s dared give unlimited upload without a business acount. I will admit though, nothing is truly “unlimited”.
Over six days, that’s about two megabytes per second, so 16mbit/sec. Residential plans are often 25 or 35 mbit/sec in the US on cable.
A similar traffic pattern might be a 4k security camera, typically 10mbit/sec, and likely over a VPN.
I had some fun issue with inconsistent speeds a while back so I set up a docker container to periodically run a speed test and show that on a web gui. After about a month I stopped at ~200tb of network traffic both ways, not because I got a warning, but because I scared my isp shitless with statistics clearly illustrating them that they’re not delivering the service I pay for.
A TB over the course of a week. Thats less than 200GB a day, which is like, one update to a Call of Duty game.
Again, UPLOAD not DOWNLOAD.
OP probably has symmetrical fiber so there’s little functional difference. Unless you mean the ISP would just assume that all that upload usage is due to torrenting. In that case, you’d be surprised at how much upload somebody can utilize when they actually have access to it. iCloud/google photos backups of a bunch of pictures/videos you take while you’re out suddenly occurring when you connect to your home WiFi, streaming yourself playing video games online, all kinds of stuff can cause all that usage. They can still suspect but what are they supposed to do about it?
Probably because the ISP is getting paid
If you pay for something they offer then it’s not bad to take advantage of it.
Good on you seeding useful stuff. Last time I had to get my ratio up on a private tracker I had to seed download 50GB and seed close to 1TB of granny porn.
I liked everyone’s faces, when they asked where I got such a good ratio, that is was all granny porn lol.
All I see is a fellow ISO 8601 enjoyer (for dates). Edit: sadly not for time. Filthy AM/PM enjoyer 😅
It always made sense to me, because when you create folders for your backups, it will always get sorted chronologically.
Yes, that and for most databases as well, easy sorting shit no extra rules or frameworks to make it make sense to the computer.
Thank you for your service 🎖️
Spread your seed far and wide, let it cover the Earth.
FYI, scientific research papers are more often than not copyrighted.
Thankfully sci-hub.se exists.
Pour one out for Aaron Shwartz

I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh

It doesn’t say anywhere that he’s seeding pirated media. Seeding is not illegal.
I feel like you shouldn’t be advertising online that you’re uploading large quantities of pirated media? Just kinda seems like common sense? Some of you guys are very trusting lol.
Hey, I clearly stated that I was uploading Linux ISOs and research papers! I never said anything about pirated media!
spoiler
In all seriousness though, in hindsight I probably should have used an alt account to post this. If my home instance becomes compromised, I could end up in hot water…
Aww yiss hot tub stream
Do you really think someone out there is going to see a random post where a guy says he has uploaded a bunch of… something and decide to try to investigate to find out what?
That’s not how it works. Even if he had included actual torrent names in the screenshot, the chances of someone caring enough to pursue it are infinitesimal.
Reddit was subpoenaed for that shit.
Subpoenaed for what, IP addresses? Then assuming he’s using private trackers (hopefully he is) or a seedbox then they don’t find him in any public swarms and that’s the end of that lol
Subpoenaed for all reddit user data if those users. Didn’t go anywhere, iirc, but they do try.
