i wonder how much is left from the very early sharing ideals from the dawn of the internet.

do you juat take or do you offer something?

upload stuff, contribute by seeding, rip, be part of a group …?

    >Not sure is 0% enough to protect yourself

    It’s definitely not. Copyright trolls send letters to all peers in a torrent swarm regardless of uploading/downloading. And in any case the bittorrent protocol uploads and downloads simultaneously - Even if the commenter is attempting to seed 0% they are still participating in the torrent swarm and uploading pieces of data to others in the swarm during their own download.

    I have to assume that commenter’s VPN is working as intended or maybe they have been lucky.
