The version that my seedbox provider has available is extremely out of date, and many of the bugs I've experienced I know are fixed in a newer version (because for whatever reason they downgraded Prowlarr? That's a separate confusion).
The actual downloading of the torrents would remain with a seedbox provider, only the Prowlarr would be on a regular VPS
/r/Piracy seems to be the only subreddit I’ve seen that is upset with the mods for the protest. Every other sub I’ve been in, anyone who says anything remotely negative about the protests is downvoted to oblivion (rightfully so in my opinion)
The installed version was previously 1.5.2.3484, but now it is 0.2.0.1678
