yes but with a VPN to my seedbox, all the egress from the docker containers its running in goes through this: https://github.com/passteque/gluetun

the seedbox is through https://www.feralhosting.com used them for over 10 years now and they've been great (shared hosting so I have linuxbrew setup there, but no docker sadly)

Runs fine at home. I've indexed 20M+ torrents in last few months running it during the day. With Prowlarr (or similar) it could easily replace other indexers.

I think generally you have to be very conservative about how you use ultra cheap hosts like hetzner simply due to the economics. Either find a more expensive service that will exert more effort towards discretion or alternatively spend $5 per month on a VPN that's friendly to torrents.

Which magazines?

28M

160gb for 27m torrents

The factor that determines this most is how much of the files metadata for each torrent you choose to keep, which is configurable.

In case you haven’t considered, HDDs work great for this, since write wear out isn’t really a factor for those. ZFS can also help batch together TXG’s until they hit time or size limits before commit it at once to the disk.

I solved it by storing the data on /dev/null

ungodly amounts of porn.
