I did actually do it this way for a while, it's clunky but works. Unfortunately my Firefox container stopped loading, I tried Chrome and N.eko which also had issues and I'm not experienced enough to overcome those.

That's promising, can you point me in the right direction?

The staff were the ones who told me there's no workaround except to purchase a seedbox

I should have clarified, not browsing, but the torrent/magnet link won't work. I can't browse from one PC then paste the link into qBittorrent on the server.

It is, but diplomacy refers to disputes between peoples. Politics refers to disputes within a people.

I didn't say anything about pacifism, but I also disagree with your proposition equating violence and politics. Violence is a breakdown of politics. Politics, almost definitionally, is how a people settle disputes without violence.

Politics is how how decisions are made in groups. If one person or group is forcing their will upon others, then no decision or compromise between the parties can be said to have been made freely. And therefore it cannot be truthfully described as following a political process.

I will engage with you in the context of your original proposition but I will not engage with Gish Galloping.

That is a very machivellian attitude. I don't believe that hurting people who aren't a threat in the name of "progress" is justified, even if it were somehow a shortcut to utopia, which it's not.

It's not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.

Agreed I do pretty much the same.

I'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing ("seeding") the files.

You could probably install a home server management software like TrueNAS Homearr or CasaOS on your Pi and just download the "apps" that way.
