Keep Seeding (lemmy.one)
submitted 1 year ago by monty@lemmy.one to c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

This is the way. qBittorrent even has an interface option. You can set that to your VPN and it's basically a killswitch. I've still got mullvads killswitch option enabled on top of it tho. It just cuts your internet connection, if you ever drop the connection to their servers.

Oh right. Binding to the VPN network interface is really important.

It gives peace of mind. One time I noticed the VPN was off and qBit still ran and I didn't bind to the interface. Luckily it was fine.
