    I don’t know what a seedbox is :thinking face: I will look it up

    My current torrent setup is a raspberry pi with qbittorrent installed and a 1TB drive where to store ongoing and completed downloads. The VPN subscriptions is 4€/month

    Edit: one thing I love about my current setup is that I’m running a Telegram bot on the raspberry that notifies me when a torrent finishes to download, it also allows me to remotely add torrent files/magnets just by sending the file/url, and quite many other stuff. I mostly use it to keep an eye on the downloads queue since from mobile it isn’t as cumbersome as a web UI and I can use it from any device. I wonder if it would be possible to run it on a seedbox. As far as I’ve been able to see, most seedbox use Deluge as torrent client, which means I would have to rewrite it entirely to use its API. Hmmm. I will think if it’s worth the effort

      I imagine you could make it work on Deluge and/or also there must be a Seedbox that allows qBittorrent.
