Getting ATT Gigabit on Saturday. My upload has been abysmal. I also went over my data cap.

Can't wait for the change to fiber.

I first log into IPVanish so i'm going through a VPN.
I then go to rarbg.to/ and search for whatever movie or show i'm wanting to download.
I then download said movie or tv show.
It opens up in Utorrent and downloads.
After it downloads, i move the file to the folder i have dedicated for Plex and the file is deleted from Utorrent so it isn't seeded. Eevery movie i've downloaded is under 2G and is in either 720 or 1080.

Been doing this for about a year now. Have downloaded hundreds of movies. Have never seeded anything, have never had a problem downloading anything, and never had Cox say anything.

well, utorrent was caught mining cryptocurrency.

I wouldn't worry too much though. This is basically the same thing I've been doing for 6 years now. I haven't had any problems apart from forgetting to log into my VPN a few times.

this is why i'm using a 10yo version of utorrent that all torrent sites recommend.

any utorrent version in the last 5 years = shite.

TBH I haven't really watched anything on the remote servers. I think my Plex was acting up this morning so my wife may be putting kid shows on whole I'm at work.

you need to go change your remote settings to original so you can get the high def. It was transcoding down to SD.

you need to add 'better call saul' and 'rome' and that fricked up circus show from HBO a few years back.

did you have the pacific as well as band of brothers?

Lost In Space (original) rocks as does "Space 1999" which was a massive torrent to grab. Try a couple episodes out on my server & see what you think.
