I will definitely give it a retry then. I mentioned in another comment that I could've sworn it didn't when I first started and that's why I started renaming, but I'll try it again. Thanks!

If I remember correctly, when I first started the server, it was showing the name on the server as the long name with details instead of just the movie name. Although that could have been my fault.

On the seeding side, I've tried seeding the renamed files through the torrent but it seems since the movie names didn't match it would start trying to download again instead of seeding directly. I may try transmission but I likes qbittorrents interface linking to the vpn. Transmission seems to need it typed out while qbittorrent let's you select from a list. I just felt more confident having it selected as opposed to typed out.

It definitely felt like a right of passage lol. Ill be saving that. Might have to put it up on the wall to look back upon in my elder days.

Is the wear and tear a considerable amount over time? Or just something to consider as it does some compared to not seeding 24/7?

Oh dang, well so far it's only a letter they sent to my ISP, in which they relayed that someone on my network was doing it with or without my knowledge.

My ISP has records I can look up the see the original email sent from the person who claimed the copyright. I was like, where did I mess up? They must not have very clear evidence.

Well.. I was dead to rights Lmao. IP, movie name, times, data downloaded, etc. I'm hoping that's the only thing that leaked in that time period and there isn't more just qeueing lol.

But yeah, that's why I wanted to share this post. Some people aren't in countries where this matters, but for those of us that are, stay safe. Learn from others. Im lucky so far but someone may not be and get fined like in your situation.

I used Usenet but honestly I love being able to publicly seed for others. It feels like giving back so it's a risk I'll take over using usenet.

Much love to the community 🏴‍☠️

I whole heartily agree to a good ole "fuck you"; But I also think that money shouldn't be a requirement but highly encouraged. I'm a hypocrite for this because I don't monetarily support every open source I use. However, for the critical open source I use like 3rd party Android OS, clients for apps like Lemmy, etc. I'm more than happy to donate what I can. Hell, I'd donate to all if I had to resources to. I don't have a good solution but I do think donating (when it can be afforded) should be highly encouraged and something not a lot of people think about/know about/or consider since they may be using it because it's free to begin with.

I'll take a look at this. Is there any downsides to private trackers?

[–] JackAttack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 5 months ago

Cool! I'll definitely check that out. Thanks!

Public I assume, I'm pretty new to torrenting and haven't really dove into private trackers yet. Any resources your recommend on reading up on that?

I disagree. I hate the decisions they make and personally, along with you, I think it's idiotic.

But while I hate on them, they will get away with it. Theyre not stupid. The decisions don't align with its users but it will still work.

Look at netflix raising prices for arguably worse content. Working for them.

Reddit; Charging for the API essentially killing almost all 3rd party apps. Not sure the effect but reddit doesn't seem to really be hurting. Users want to move but reddit is just too good. I even still use it because the user content on there is amazing. I try to ask all my questions/have discussions on lemmy, but I'm one person. Reddit has infinity more always contributing. I think the management sucks, but the platform just isn't fully rivaled yet so they can keep milking their audience.
