This has really shown that the be true. I am stuck in a situation right now where I have some lost media I want to upload but they have been down for over a week. I plan to create a torrent in the meantime but that means relying on my personal network connection for the vast majority of downloads up front. I looked into CloudFlare R2, not terrible but not free either.

I was looking into using R2 as a web seed for the torrent but I don't _really_ want to spend much to upload content that is going to get "stolen" and reuploaded by content farms anyway you know?

Why not subscribe to a seedbox? They’re about $5/2TB/mo. It protects your IP, you can buy for only the month, and since seedboxes are hosted in DMCA-resistant data centers you can download riskier torrents lightning fast, meaning you’re not just spending money for others, you can get something out of it too.

Any hints or recommendations on how to find a decent seedbox vendor? (working email in profile if you'd rather not name any in public)

I’ve only used r/Seedboxes on Reddit, and that’s yet to fail me. The specific one I mentioned is EvoSeedBox’s $5/mo tier with 130GB HDD + 2TB bandwidth which is all I’ve needed so far.

2TB of bandwidth or storage?

Bandwidth, though some provide multi-TB storage (I assume you pay out the nose however).
