Pipes you control are pipes you control, whether they're in a data center or in your home. You can't avoid a counterfeiting arrest by printing the bills at OfficeMax then mailing them to yourself in a security envelope. Hopefully you're only referring to network quality benefits.
- joshschreuder 12y agoI think the idea was that you're only connecting to your server, rather than a variety of peers on the torrent (which may include studio reps). Also, ISPs are probably more likely to look for illicit activity on the BT protocol rather than SFTP. Of course it's still illegal and still traceable but assuming the seedbox provider doesn't keep logs on who is transferring what, the risk should be a fair bit less than torrenting it via your own client on your own network.
