That's cool... since I have a seedbox anyway, I'd still just use that and then s
ftp the file to my local. That said, I do tend to just VPN to home over wiregua
rd, though may switch to tailscale for convenience... I do this more for my piho
le on my phone than for things like torrents though. Since that tends to be ove
r https/sftp for me.
