    when downloading a not very seeded torrent, do you take the risks of raw dogging that shit for the open port forward etc or do you VPN like a lil bitch, end up download for 3 days but at least you don't get fucked by warner brost?

    Bump!

    What’s the penalty if you get caught downloading Warner Bruddas shit?

    death

    btw to those of you who don't know the LET lore of ddr ignore

    I think it was I (or @sh97) that when imitating Calin switched ddr for dmca like

    1 vCPU Xeon
    2 gb dmca4
    ddr ignore

    that's it really

    It haven't taken off as much as I'd have liked it to but that's fine

    bout your torrent, get shady deals vps to take your torrent(s) activity.

    Yeah I guess even BuyVM Lux is enough if you want to skip VPN and connect to as many peers as possible

    Is there any studies/reports/tests on how much a non-VPN setup with ports forwarded help in finding and keeping peers VS. VPN with no ports forwarded?

    I used yabs to test a Christmas package VPS from a Spanish provider not on LET, and my conclusion: not recommended!!! I only bought it for one month. As for VM Type:MICROSOFT, it’s because I reinstalled Linux from Windows—their system templates really have a lot of issues.
