Don’t know myself as I have no use case for that setup, but it is a well known setup since several years. If teh performance was bad it wouldn’t be recommended as an alternative as often.

JBOD via mergerfs and snapraid on top for parity is a possible solution.

Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/indexers/ for starters

That’s the thing, you’d have to connect to the seedbox via VPN anyways.

I’m using usenet anyway, always have, always will ;⁠-⁠)

Is there a way to get and pay seedboxes anonymously? Otherwise the feds could “just” get your information from them. Like with every VPN service you got to trust the the service and their confidentiality (not keeping logs etc) I guess?

Ah, nice, will try that out. I guess the success rate depends on the way the sites filte email addresses.

Thanks for the reply!

That’s something I’m doing too. I wish there was a nicer way though.

Thanks for the reply!

So, a lot of websites filter out known trash mail domains and won’t allow any of their email addresses for sign up. I don’t see that Simplelogin or Addy can circumvent that (beside using a custom domain which however will be linked to your name via the registrar).

How do you manage websites with such restrictions?

Try this guide (replacing German with french obviously), it may work: https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language/

I did set it up and it’s running quite painless.

Is your concern using it for torrenting? Or for downloads from one click hosters?

Are there reports of RD exposing it’s users to the industry?
