    Are they encouraging sharing passwords now? I thought they did a big crackdown on that after being okay with it for years.

    Edit: oh I went back and read the date.

      They encourage whatever gets them more money.

      In 2017 they hadn’t saturated market share and were still trying for conversions from people who weren’t using their product.

      There are plenty of resources online, but to get started I would go the easy route that I went and use docker.

      Look to set up an “arr” stack. Make sure you have it set up gluetun and link to a VPN.

      Essentially, you’ll buy a VPN connectio. Ensure this has P2P and Port Forwarding support.

      You then set up docker in a way that first connects the vpn. If the vpn doesn’t work then it won’t start the download client like qbittorrent.

      If you wait until after work I can share my docker compose file to give you an idea, but honestly if you’re somewhat capable with a keyboard then you can google you’re way to getting set up.

      But also look into whether your ISP cares or not. Mine doesn’t and I’ve been seeding for years without any problems without any vpn.

      Think about it let like this,

      When you open a port on your router you’re allowing inbound connections from the internet to that port via your WAN IP, with a VPN however, that typically does not work since you’re forcing all your traffic through a specific data centre with its own firewall. Most well developed VPN providers will offer Port Forwarding as a feature which usually opens a random port for people to make those inbound connections, you instruct your download client to use the port your VPN provider gives you so that people can leech from you without exposing your WAN IP.

      Hope that makes it easier to understand.

      Honestly it’s hard not to wonder if they intentionally tried to get more people sharing before they pulled the plug.

        Back then it was the easiest way to get Netflix into the lives of more people. It reduced the barrier of entrance to almost zero and allowed people to get used to the service. Then, a few years later, when you pull the rug, people are already invested in your service and would rather become a paying member than quit

      Atypical is pretty good, it’s a coming-of-age about an autistic teen. It managed to evade the Department of Premature Cancellations for 4 seasons and even reached a satisfying conclusion.

      Sure, the Castlevania Animation for example. “Love, Sex & Robots” also is a great anthology.
