This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

debrid services for the win! just let someone else torrent it for you, and download it from them.
AllDebrid costs €3 a month and saves you any legal headaches.
I am saving that...
nice
I think in the US at least even doing that is a no-no unfortunately.
thx for clearing that up! in Europe at least, consumer protection laws cover downloads ("you're a moron who doesn't know what you're actually downloading and whether it is legal"), but seeding == distributing, which is a punishable offence
It doesn't provide legal safety here in the states, you'll wanna use some kind of anonymizing service.
If, however, you plan to do lots of streaming of your torrents, it is absolutely the best way to go. I am familiar with RealDebrid, which is a similar service. Its good stuff, probably pay with cash-by-mail or cryptocurrency though.
Yeah seems like a reasonable approach.
*should really learn how to block the leeches from debrid services, because they contribute* *nothing* to the pool...*
AllDebrid retains files for 30 days and must be seeding a ton (how would they get high download speed otherwise?), what am i missing here?
the caching of files also helps, since they're only leeched once, then downloaded from their servers by potentially more than one user
