Living and doing it in Germany. Juat need to do your research.
And i appreciate, that you Do it!
But i think i should at least read the Mega thread and see how hard/expensiv is in the end.
i am waaaay to paranoid to do it.
My way:
Renting a seedbox outside of Germany (NL) for about 16€ per month for a 2TB box.
Is it a very great value? No, not really.
But the staff is very reponsive to issues. Tickets are being reponded to usually within 24h and resolved within 1 week. (Much better than my helpdesk performance lol)
I got grandfathered in from an unmetered service. I can seed as much as I want at ~1Gbit/s even though I may not hit it due to being a shared box. So also very good.
And I can use public trackers there.
Stuff is getting transferred with resilio to my home, automatically imported and appears within 30min after download is complete in my media library.
The other option to a seedbox is a VPN and doing it from home. Only let a program connect via the tunnel.
Personally I am not fond of option #2 as I'd need to maintain it myself, my home internet is slow compared to a seedbox and I'd need to torrent from my own ISP connection. Yeah no. #1 is managed and I just pay the amount of 2 good quality services and have everything I can aquire.

I don't know what this is. I guess I'll read a link one of the comments provided here.
Edit: Nvm. The link didn't explain anything
A private tracker is a torrenting site, like TPB, but is invite-only or has some other barrier to get in. They're usually safer and faster, bur you have to seed. Also YMMV, obscure things might either not be on there, or have few/no seeds.
I got suspended for inactivity for all my private music trackers after I got Spotify, I miss them and want to go back now :(
