I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    I’d rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.

    You don’t want a free VPN. I’d cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.

      Mullvad got rid of port-forwarding so it’s not good for torrenting anymore. IVPN, which is where the Mullvad refugees fled to, just got rid of it as well. I think AirVPN is the next option people are flocking to, but who knows when they’ll do that next.

      I’ve also seen stuff about torrenting over I2P which shouldn’t have this limitation, but I’m not sure how usable it is right this moment.
