I don't have easy access to my torrent client at the moment, how much disk space are we talking about here? Tens of GB, hundreds, multiple TB?

Edit: ooft, that's a hefty chunk of space indeed, the first one I looked at was 400gb, the second was >4tb. Sadly I can't contribute that kind of space on my torrent box.

Ah, I see, then my apologies for making assumptions. If you're a Usenet person then things like drunken slug or Ninja central assist to have a bunch of adult content on them.

For torrents, you'll hopefully be able to find content on various generalist torrent trackers or a few specialist ones that primarily deal with that kind of content.

I get the impression that you're new to the whole *arr set of applications.

Your indexer is the torrent site (or Usenet indexer) you're asking whisparr to search through for your torrents/NZBs.

Take a look here for some pretty good documentation on how it all works: https://wiki.servarr.com/whisparr/quick-start-guide#indexers

I've not tried this myself, but how about mounting the volume using sshfs?

This is of course assuming that you've got ssh access to the VPS.

I'm currently mounting volumes using cifs and NFS, but I don't think I'd be too keen on exposing those to the internet at large.

It depends on how long your work day is as to whether or not you've got that 2 hours spare I guess.

I was using http://www.wizuworkspace.com/ and one thing I haven't mentioned was that they also offered a pay as you go thing where you pay £20+VAT per day.

An alternative to torrenting though is Usenet. It takes a bit of setting up but there are some nice advantages. No worrying about needing to seed back and you're not going to need to worry about a VPN or your ISP forwarding on threatening letters. Sure it costs money, but I think I pay about £45 per year and I don't regret that one little bit.

I started looking at co-working space a few months ago and I took a package where I could get 50 hours a month in it for £100+VAT. When I was in there there were usually a handful of people working away and although I didn't end up really striking up a conversation with anyone just having other people around was good for me as it meant that the only voices I heard whilst working weren't just the ones on our video conferencing software or in my head.

I have stopped using it now though because of a temporary change to my working hours meaning that I can't take use my 50 hours in a month (not even half of them in the lastlnth I was doing it) but once that ends I'll be kicking off that subscription again. If you want to know more about the company I used let me know as I believe they have offices throughout the country.

Just took a look at my profile, registered on 27 June 2006. So it's in my 15-20 year window that I mentioned

Now that's not something I'd have expected. I've never encountered anything like that in the nearly 15-20 years I've been using TL.
