    If you are torrenting anything, you’re seeding that data, period. So therefore you’re uploading. It’s just the nature of the beast. It’s why you may end up with a letter from your ISP if you raw dog it with no VPN. This may differ depending on what country you reside in.

    That being said, best thing I ever did was set up a NAS a couple years ago. I seed all day long and build ratio on private trackers. I watch whatever I want in the quality I want via Plex.

        Yeah you can set up an auto-stop ratio at 0 and it stops without uploading anything. I should probably VPN too but I haven’t cared enough for like 8+ years and nothing’s happened yet
