Hey guys, i want to ask you all how you seed your torrents. I’m considering either using proxmox to create a seedbox or to build a dedicated machine with a vpn that will seedbox.

What VPN do you also use to seed? I have mullvad, for personal use but for seeding it doesn’t have port forwarding.

Thanks! :

    Definitely does the job… I have a Plex server that a lot of family and quite a few friends use. It used to be that every time someone had a request, I would walk over to my desktop, find a torrent, wait for it to finish, copy it over the LAN to my NAS running Plex, and there might be days between me remembering to fulfill their requests. Now I get a message, and immediately from my cellphone pull up the qBitTorrent web UI, paste whatever they asked into the built-in search, click add, and reply “will be in Plex in 10-15 minutes”.

    Now I want a fully automated ARR stack with one of those tools that allows people to make their own requests and it have it autopirate… So instead of them sending me request messages, I will be opening my Plex to watch TV, see something I never heard of on the “recently added”, and then guess who requested that and text them “hey was that you? Thanks for the new movie/TV show, I love it”
