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.

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.
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.
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.
Probably because the ISP is getting paid
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.
I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh
Sorry to hear your dreams are limited.

I'd never imagine doing that in Egypt lol. We don't have unlimited fiber/adsl. the datacap we pay for is 250gb for about $5
Impressive. I distrohoped and lost everything
on the other end of the spectrum: I can't even do port forwarding to seed shit
The electricity bill shouldn't be that bad. Seeding torrents doesn't put a lot of load on the system. Depending on your hardware it could be pretty low power consumption. On the high end it might hit 4kwh a day.
