yeah and other people here warned me about that so ig I’ll drop that idea.

let’s say I have found a new show I wanna watch, and host in my Jellyfin server. Let’s say I found a good magnet link. I don’t have it anywhere yet, so I’d prefer to download it directly to the server.

and not to my computer and then send to the server.

that’s so true. I once donated to Wikipedia (technically Wikimedia), and a year later they sent email after email trying to get me to re donate.

if you’ll have more connections or mentions on other IPs or websites, that’ll grow the chances of them scanning your IP too.

You should read about how their crawler decide what to crawl and when*. After all, there’s 4 Billion IPv4 addresses, and much more IPv6 (tho I don’t know how much of them are used), and they don’t just randomly spin up numbers to scan.

• I once read an article explaining how they did this, can’t find it now. I’ll send it if I do find it.

thanks!

thanks I’ll take that into consideration!

I’ll try giving rsync a try

my internet is just not all that stable or fast. so day I wanna get there (my server) a big file, downloading it and then using ssh to upload it sounds like big trouble. if my connection suddenly shuts, or my computer goes in sleep mode.

So I’m thinking of ways to download directly to my server, without needing to send the files from my laptop.
