Rule 1: don’t tell the whole internet that you’re trying to create a torrent site.
Not trying to be rude, but the fact that you are asking this question demonstrates the fact that you shouldn’t.
If you want to contribute to free and open information, set up a VPN, bind QBitorrent or another FOSS torrenting software to it, and seed as much as you can.
Help digital archivists and data horders if you have the storage.
Spread accurate information on this stuff to help others.
If you really want to help build out the grey and black market infrastructure for data and digital goods, you need to learn advanced infosec and programming skills and that takes a long time and lots of study.
Or you could use Unit3d. Doesnt seem that hard to implement.
It’s the “not getting caught” part that’s difficult.
Hello.
I’m very interesting in your ideas.
Do you think you could e-mail me to discuss what you are planning in more details?
My e-mail is [email protected]
Thanks.
Whats the email? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
You should probably call the FBI and ask permission.
Step 1: Move to Switzerland. Step 2: torrent site
Probably safer to move to Russia or North Korea.
I don’t think you and I have the same definition of the word “safer.”
By not starting a torrent site 🙃
You were so obsessed with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should.
I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
I-Is this serious? This is literally what The Pirate Bay is now.
The Pirate Bay is decentralized and not run by any particular people/group? That’s news to me, and kind of hard to believe tbh, can you cite a source?
If I was going to do it I would only host the site on tor or i2p. I’d only host magnet links with minimal metadata and aim to have the site work without JavaScript. Maybe a small flask application or something to populate the pages using templates. Very basic, light weight and secure.
I would also release a monthly dump of the site to allow it to survive in the event of a takedown .
This way you have a minimal attack surface , you are protected from legal threats as they dont know where or who is hosting and they dont have a hosting provider to send the notices to.
With regular dumps of the site , taking it down becomes futile as there are copies out there in the wild, that can spring up the next day if needed. Its like a diversified seed bank if you will 😉.
You need to be behind seven proxies.
Good luck!

online anonymity to governments is very very very hard if not impossible if they actually needed to find you
