Weirdly enough I've met a few other people who are weird enough to share their toothbrush with me

There are many people for who working isn't the meaning of life.
He wanted to prove he doesn't care about money and is fully willing to throw away $44 billion dollars on a shitpost
Yes but the thread would not have made sense if I hadn't added my follow up questions to your original question
Not really but I do notice that sometimes my ISP with throttle me and it stops when I use a VPN, so I just usually use a VPN (and never torrent local anymore, it's like waiting for a snail to deliver your amazon package).
Sure, there's a huge variety among private trackers. Googling "buy private tracker invite" shows 10s of different sellers. some tracker invites can be $150 because they're gigantic communities full of content and don't send out invites often. Some of them are cheap enough to throw in as freebies when you buy something else.
What's really nice about buying an invite is splurging the extra $10 and getting a built in 500-800GB of quota with it (really you're buying the account itself). Then you don't have to "work your way" up as long as you keep seeding whatever is popular.
Make an image of your SD card if you haven't already. Better yet run the OS over USB. sd cards to die.
appreciate the advice, would make it less aggravating. Which one do you recommend? I'm on newshosting and have no problems that aren't just general usenet problems.
I'm just gonna to invite you to google this and see where it takes you. Might not be up your alley, might be a compete gamechanger: InviteHawk
They're running in a datacenter in the netherlands with a ridiculous amount of bandwidth. I did find out they're classified as an "isp and web hosting company".
All our Dedicated Servers have 1Gbit connections with a dedicated 1GigE uplink.
I'd also guess that many of the seeds on any torrent (on a private tracker) are going to also be coming from seedboxes. That might explain why it's so fast too, there is tons of bandwidth between the datacenters themselves. I'm definitely throttled at 100MB/s regardless of how many torrents I've got running (1 or 100), but if they're running 50-100+ instances along with dedicated servers they must have tbps of bandwidth.
So long story medium, unless you can install your home server into a datacenter with a multi terrabit link to the backbone, it will be tough to replicate
How did they taste? Hopefully they were still crunchy
It's all a matter of disposable income and your principles. I will pirate most software if I can. If I've used it for a few years I'll buy them official version. I only own a few movies, like Reservoir Dogs and The Big Lebowski. Sometimes I'll buy a record I like on vinyl. Now a days it's not really about getting the content, it's about wanting to support and contribute to the artists and creators who built this stuff.

Unless you're an independently wealthy jackass, I'm not sure how you can attack non-FOSS software users. I am a software engineer and I get paid to write software. I write some code for fun at home too and if people use any of my projects Im delighted. But if you want bug fixes and reliability and consistent new features and updates to apis and I have to listen to your bullshit complaints about how XYZ is better, you bet your ass I'm gonna charge for that.
It's like a baker making bread who gives out a few loaves for free at first. You don't get to complain if 100s of people show up demanding free bread and he starts charging them. Maybe communism is a system that demands people work for free, but elsewhere you're entitled to whatever wage the market will bear.
