Good question. All I know is that my VPN only has servers in Hong Kong but no other ones in China.

I usually keep the last 1TB of my torrent downloads around for seeding.

Also part of a DDL group which I gave a few donations to.

There is only 8 seasons.

Yeah, it can. I run transmission on a 2019 macbookpro (last i9 intel model), with the data on an external SSD. And yes, downloading and/or seeding can put quite some strain on the CPU and even the SSD reading speeds, when you’re doing other stuff.

Is it maybe just the hot summer? Ambient tempratures can have an huge impact on performance.

I love that old stuff

Same. I have all the season of Night Rider, Golden Girls, MacGuyver, Family Matters and old cartoons like Doug, Hey Arnold!, The Flintstones or TaleSpin, to name a few.

My biggest single show is the Simpsons, with 1.1TB. Bones, The Sopranos, StarTrek TNG … all in the 400-500GB range.

Well, I have around 1600 movies, 300 TV shows and 4000 albums of music. That takes some space. And I don’t really delete anything.

I’m in a DDL group for most of my usual content and evreything else I get from public torrents.

Yes they have to allow it and they also need a plex pass on their end. (Though older accounts might not as this was a recent change and wasn’t applied retroactive).

Yeah, the login makes sense. But media is usually streamed directly to clients.

What do you meant, route traffic through them?

I got the 100 bucks life-time pass and couldn’t be happier with it. Totally worth it if you use it a lot.

Some other benefits are the “skip intro” feature and the ability to download from other people’s libraries.

That isn’t really a piracy problem though.

You always choose to only download the parts of the torrent you want, no need to keep them seperate.

Would this affect VPN servers in the US?

jbod. It’s 2x6TB in the NAS and then USB drives (2x 5TB, 1x18TB and a 2TB SSD for music).

No media get’s deleted unless it’s redundant. All stored at my home NAS, currently with 42TB capactiy.

I’ve only added them a handful of times this way, but so far it always worked fine.

Their search function absolutly sucks though. No search inside categories, can’t even sort results.

Oh sweet.

1337x.to, torrentgalaxy.to or anyother pubic tracker really, have several. Take your pick.

You can add subtitles directly from plex. Just click on the subtitle selection and then “search”.

Star Trek was always promoting progressive values. The Orville also does it heavily.

The problem is when the messaging isn’t encased in proper storytelling and just shoehorned in. Then it just feels forced and preachy and usually makes for a boring watch.

And yes, modern Star Trek isn’t doing well in that regard.

If you’re looking for good modern Star Trek, watch The Orville.

A VPN subscription is super cheap and even if your risk without one is minor, I see little reason to not use one just in case.
