I run a small self-hosted server at home (basic Ubuntu box with qBittorrent and Nginx for file serving), but my upload speeds are garbage, and with new laws in my country I'll also have to worry about the ISP and what they think about the seeding.
But even without these issues, for the next few weeks I'll have to share a few large personal .torrent files (let's say 200GB each) with a private group. So I’d need something that can stay online 24/7 without killing my local connection.
So my first thought is just get a cheap seedbox for uploading and long-term seeding, maybe from Appbox because they have services under $10.
But I also need decent storage (200-400GB), qBittorrent or rTorrent support, and something I can script or trigger remotely. So anyone who's done something like this, please tell me what the easiest/cheapest/safest way to go is. Budget is a bit of a concern but not too much. As long as it works!
