And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…

It’s good to give back to the community.

EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…

    Right, I’m not disagreeing with you there. Shit, I use a VPN for work as well. I’m not uploading terabytes of data. Downloading, maybe, but I’m not running any servers at home.

    All I’m saying is that using that much upload bandwidth, regardless of what’s being uploading, might throw up some red flags at OP’s ISP. They might force OP onto a business plan.

      Oh yeah, for sure. Does any ISP have unlimited upload though? I used to work for one. You’d have to go to business regardless because of the cap, from my experience.

      Edit: wooooooh nevermind, I didn’t even know other ISP’s dared give unlimited upload without a business acount. I will admit though, nothing is truly “unlimited”.

        Some are cool with it if you just let them know you’re gonna be uploading a lot, but yeah. Most are gonna put a stop to it eventually.
