In a third world country that doesn’t care much about individuals torrenting. All 4 ISP we have block Torrent sites but that is easily solved be changing DNS. However, the problem is that we have qouta in here. One gigabyte (home dsl) costs 1.5 pounds, 1 gigabyte on mobile data costs 50 pounds = 1$. You can see the different bundles that two famous ISPs provide which is basically the same in links below: https://eshop.vodafone.com.eg/en/internetServices/dsl/dsl-bundles

    Take our data and don’t be ashamed about not having the privilege of being able to run a seedbox for whatever reason :) We take what we need and provide what we can. Yarr, and fuck US copyright!

            What about streaming? Does nobody use streaming for sports and live tv in your country? Watching 5-6 football matches in UHD would eat through that allowance alone each month at my place.

              For football, people use special reciver, they put it on the dish and it doesn’t consume much internet only needed for starting connection, I didn’t use it myself. For movies and series we torrent and share via localsend for example. I might only download one season per month, but I get other stuff from friends. We share what we download even games.

    You can still share your data with others! How about burning dvds or filling up thumb drives or external HDDs for all your friends and family? Maybe have them bring their phones and/or laptops over and load them up directly. That would be in the spirit of sharing.

      I already do this. Me and my friends, we share everything through phone using localsend even fitgirl games. In fact, that is the only financially feasible solution.

        Then in fact you do give back what you take, so, really you’re not a leecher in the first place!

        You’re just sharing the data outside the BitTorrent network, and it’s awesome!
