The cost is reasonable, you can get 1tb of storage for around £10 a month. Most Seedboxes will let you install VPN servers on them as well, I’m not sure what you pay for specific VPN software nowadays. So you could theoretically replace Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu etc and have a VPN.

They’re basically required for building ratio on private trackers nowadays.

I wouldn’t bother tbh. As soon as you start using it in your torrent client other users can see your IP address anyway.

Seedboxes are a pretty good solution.

The ‘news’ thing in the taskbar counts, I think. As does the recommended apps and preinstalled candy crush. It’s looking less and less like a professional tool nowadays.

Yeah. It’d probably still have charge too.

Control panel and Settings, right? It got on my nerves as well.
