Do you have a seed box? I would assume with that many torrents?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and no. I keep a seedbox for convenience, but the vast majority of them are hosted on a home server.

Doesn't it mess with your home internet?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Not in any noticeable way. I have a gigabit connection and the server runs over ethernet so it doesn’t clog up the wifi. There is no noticeable difference when I run a speed test on another device with the server turned on vs. turned off. I’ve never gotten an ISP letter either, so it seems I’m doing something right.
