Any experienced torrenters here? For me a torrent took like 3 days for a 4 Gigabyte movie, I had like 1 slow ass peer at a time.

I guess the biggest expense is the hard-drive that needs to keep spinning and powered. I could create a new thread asking about torrent hosting on SSDs vs hard-drives. The constant (random) read operations should break hard-drive after some years?
I have 6 hard drives that have been running constantly from between 5 for the oldest and 2 years for the newest. Zero failures so far. They obviously have a lifespan to them, as with everything, but it’s not like they’ll fail left and right.
And I’ve moved out of so many cloud services (and streaming services) to in house, that over time, the privacy and savings of it are sort of worth it.
