If you are torrenting anything, you’re seeding that data, period. So therefore you’re uploading. It’s just the nature of the beast. It’s why you may end up with a letter from your ISP if you raw dog it with no VPN. This may differ depending on what country you reside in.
That being said, best thing I ever did was set up a NAS a couple years ago. I seed all day long and build ratio on private trackers. I watch whatever I want in the quality I want via Plex.
Can’t you generally set the upload rate to zero in some clients? If that’s the case, would you still be transmitting data, or would you just be sending hashes of the data?
(Of course, if you’re using a good client, like qBittorent, you can also lock the network interface to exclusively use a VPN)
Yeah you can set up an auto-stop ratio at 0 and it stops without uploading anything. I should probably VPN too but I haven’t cared enough for like 8+ years and nothing’s happened yet
