No you're just not understanding. Torrent is a web protocol, like http, ftp, and more. It's not inherently illegal.

When you're downloading you spend less time on the public tracker and have less chance of being caught downloading than if you're seeding, or uploading. In the states, the copyright holder takes snapshots of the public trackers IP address pool for specific torrents of their intellectual property, and requests your ISP send you a notice and threaten disconnection.

Never had any issues with the private tracker I'm in or got any letter from my ISP. I definitely don't pay for a vpn. I could always use my rented vps(seedbox) as a vpn if i absolutely needed or wanted to.

First, torrenting isn't illegal, and No ISP "enforces no torrenting" lol

Your understanding of the solution here is a snake eating its own tail. Might wanna think on that one bud. Did the chicken or the egg come first? Solid Ratio or the private tracker account? Figure out how private trackers work first, then come correct.

The real answer here is that there are intro private trackers one can join on an invite or free join days. If one desires, one then works on their ratio there to get into a better private tracker.

Copyright holder's pay people to take snapshots of all the IP addresses currently leeching or seeding specific material on public trackers, so they can contact the ISP with the info and request they do something about it.

When i try to explain my jellyfin/Arr setup to coworkers that ask "what site do i use to watch shows for free" it just goes right over their head or they stop listening. Even in reductionist terms. If its more work than going to a special website, searching and hitting play, they just aren't interested.

Get into a private tracker, or rent a VPS in a country that doesn't bend to the whim of capitalism, torrent to that vps and stream or sync it locally. I find that to have more peace of mind than using a vpn w/Killswitch.

Get into a Private tracker. Or You could rent a vps in a country that doesn't care, torrent to that server and stream or sync it locally. You would never be torrenting on your local connection.

Ive used Ultra cc for maybe 7-8 months straight now and have a ratio of 40on my private tracker. 7+tb upload with the ultra service alone. Got a little over 100 seeding 24/7I was strategic in the beginning, only going for popular freeleech stuff. Packs are very popular. Ive seeded a ton of a cartoon pack I got for nostalgia, and it wasnt even a fresh upload when i grabbed it.

Edit, also im not using a vpn, for anything. Ultra cc's service can be used as a vpn tunnel. But since my host is in the Netherlands racks it doesn't need a vpn for public trackers, and i dont need a vpn to stream from the seedbox.

No GUI power settings? You mean like this menu https://jeroenverhoeckx.com/gnome-power-settings.html You mentioned alot of Distros but didn't mention a single Linux Desktop Experience. Gnome/KDE could easily compete with Windows Desktop .

I find Organizrr to be much more comprehensive dashboard. And Lol at running plex just to use overseerr but still streaming with Jelly 😂 just use Jellyseerr, delete plex/over, and save a TON of system resources.
