So now there is a hard, established monetary connection between your seeding activities and yourself, if anyone ever takes exception to you stealing movies/music/etc.

Apparently they are located in the Netherlands, so DMCA shouldnt be an issue.

I personally think that ec2 is great, but i tend to use it for more “challenging” tasks than torrents.

I guess its competitive with commercial seedbox services, but EC2 is *not* cheap.

All you have to do is add ‘?torrent’ to the URL.
