      I am strongly opposed to removing tools and software using any protocols.

      What is illegal in a country can be legal in another.

      Can you name a country where torrenting copyrighted material is currently legal?

      And for Girish and Nebulon it’s only relevant whether it’s (il)legal in the relevant jurisdiction which is Germany (as Cloudron UG is incorporated there).

        How is CouchPotato any different from SickChill or Transmission?

        Couchpotato is not, it’s also intended to share copyrighted material.
        Transmission in a sense is neutral as you can share all sorts of things, e.g. theoretically legal stuff like the famous Linus ISOs everyone is sharing 😊

          @necrevistonnezr Copyrights length are not the same everywhere. So according to your jurisdiction, it can be legal or not to download a movie.

          And there are movies in the public domain, and every year more movies (and others 'materials') get back yo the public domain.

            Downloading is not the issue, torrenting is both ways, uploading & downloading.

            Again: Can you name a country where torrenting copyrighted material is currently legal?

            And again, I don’t care if a customer of Cloudron gets into legal trouble - I only care about the Cloudron crew and the project. To them, German law mostly relevant, though trouble can come from many other jurisdictions.

              @necrevistonnezr Actually I can, WTO has allowed Antigua & Barbuda to disregard USA copyright, because of a trade dispute regarding gambling.

                Looks like Marshall Islands have no copyright laws at all.

                Also see Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries'_copyright_lengths

                Not all countries follow Berne convention, and eventually copyrights do expire.

                  That’s what I thought - the majority of (commercially) relevant countries… 😁

                    I simply answered your question accurately and slightly tongue in cheek. 😉

                    But my main point stand, what is legal and copyrighted is different according to where you're living and at what point in time.

                      I'm going to post this guide here since we're talking about torrenting:

                      https://www.reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/comments/fwgvsb/windows_10_best_privacy_practices/

                      There's a section (#P2P Anti Piracy Block Lists) in there that'll help torrenters stay safe without a VPN.

                        Thanks for chiming in everyone. In the end I couldn't figure out how to set a destination folder, it kept defaulting to /home/cloudron, but I couldn't determine if that was / on the actual disk, or / within the app. And it just seemed like all the search options were mostly torrenting sites, so I just deleted it. I do torrent, but legit items like large iso's and the like. Cheers!
