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…

      It doesn’t say anywhere that he’s seeding pirated media. Seeding is not illegal.

      I feel like you shouldn’t be advertising online that you’re uploading large quantities of pirated media? Just kinda seems like common sense? Some of you guys are very trusting lol.

      Hey, I clearly stated that I was uploading Linux ISOs and research papers! I never said anything about pirated media!

      spoiler

      In all seriousness though, in hindsight I probably should have used an alt account to post this. If my home instance becomes compromised, I could end up in hot water…

      Do you really think someone out there is going to see a random post where a guy says he has uploaded a bunch of… something and decide to try to investigate to find out what?

      That’s not how it works. Even if he had included actual torrent names in the screenshot, the chances of someone caring enough to pursue it are infinitesimal.

          Subpoenaed for what, IP addresses? Then assuming he’s using private trackers (hopefully he is) or a seedbox then they don’t find him in any public swarms and that’s the end of that lol
